I should post this on my bathroom mirror…

I’ve had kind of a crappy weekend.

There have been some highlights: -Zumba class with Amy and her sisters (which, thankfully, included margaritas!) -50-degree weather in February in southeast Wisconsin and a trip to the playground with the boys -a family baby shower for Andy’s cousin’s new baby where we won one of the […]

I’m published!!!

Remember a few weeks ago, when I wrote this post? Well I got the email today saying they’ve chosen my picture of the tree in the Walnut Room at Macy’s to be in the Schmap Chicago Guide!!! Needless to say, I’m pretty proud of myself! Yeah me!

Check it out!!! Walnut Room, http://www.schmap.com/chicago/restaurants_romantic/p=10738/i=10738_8.jpg

25 Random Things About Me

On my Facebook page, I was “tagged” to post 25 random things about me. At first it was a slightly daunting task. But once I got into it, it was sort of fun. Here’s the list:

1. I love, love, love, love, love my kids.

2. I don’t think I’m the greatest mom. I can […]

I’m gonna be famous!

Okay, not in the “super-mega-star-Jennifer Aniston/Jennifer Garner/Meg Ryan” kind of way, but in the “small-I’ve-never-heard-of-but-it-must-be-looked-at-by-someone-travel-guide-photograph-byline” kind of way.

I woke up this morning to sunshine (okay, it was still dark when I woke up, but the sun came out shortly after that), the promise of a brand new day, excited to be on the brink […]

Bits of my day

This morning, we were able to start our day in one of my favorite ways-the boys climbing into bed (nicely waiting until after the clock says “7-zero-zero” to come in our room) and all of us snuggling. Then off to breakfast, and no other agenda for a few hours. We cleaned up a bit, built […]

Getting back on the horse

Okay, I’ve been having a hard time motivating to blog. I’ve actually been spending more time reading blogs rather than writing. See, I’ve been introduced to Google Reader by my brother and sister-in-law and it’s made keeping up with all sorts of blogs a lot easier. It’s also made me want to write more. And […]

Weekend in the Windy City

A couple of months ago, Andy and I started talking about taking the boys to Chicago. We thought they’d enjoy the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. This was our weekend to go, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.

We headed out early Saturday morning to drive down. We endured the dreaded […]

A very nice day

Today has been a pretty nice Sunday. Many of you may know that I often suffer from “S.A.D.” which I have renamed to “Sunday Affective Disorder.” It was especially bad in grad school when Andy lived in Appleton and I was still in Madison and we had to go our separate ways on Sundays. Now […]

Random ramblings

There are a few things I want to note today, so I’ll just run down a list:

* A few days ago, Noah mentioned that one of his teeth hurt. My first thought was, “OMG, could it be a loose tooth?!” But then he pointed to one of his eye teeth or something, so I […]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We’ve just gotten home (at 10:00 pm!) from a day full of feasting and fun. We started at Andy’s parents’ house for lunch and lounging. Then we headed to my parents’ house for more eating and visiting. It was an exhausting day, and I’m ready for bed!

But I’m keeping in mind all that I’m […]
