Danielle and I might be crazy, but later this month we’re going to take Sean to the Big Apple — New York, NY. We’ve never been, unless you count riding the subway from Grand Central Station to the airport. We also figure now would be the time when Sean is at his most portable age.
While [...]
If I had to pick my absolute favorite summer drink I would surely have a hard a time! Some top contenders might be an ice cold Coke Zero, then again maybe it’s a Cherry Limeade from Sonic. I believe Sonic has the very best ice on the planet, which adds to the pleasure of [...]
This morning I almost tripped over my husband’s enormous rucksack (confession: I had to google the word “rucksack” and look at a picture to make sure it was indeed that… yes, I’m a reservist wife. ) It was sitting right in front of our closet where he’d left it last night when he came [...]
Last week, I posted about the CSA Danielle and I belong to. For those of you who are curious, here’s a look at what we picked up yesterday:
Our adventures in summer eating continued this week with a trip to the strawberry fields. It amazes me that this island we live on is home to several [...]
My 20-month-old daughter clearly knows Sponge Bob Squarepants (“Bub-bob”) and can sing the song well enough that even non-family members recognize it. She is also more than familiar with “Dora” and “Diego”; I think she expects them to come over for a visit any minute now.
A few years ago, in the before-children era (B.C.), if [...]
The term “Battle Buddy” is relatively new me. I’ve heard Army wives use it and seen it on various mil-blogs that I read. In concept, it means just what you might imagine….a buddy you have been through battle with.
As I’ve written about before, my husband recently returned from a deployment to Afghanistan where [...]
One of the things we look forward to every summer is the local farmers’ market. This summer we took it one step further and signed up for a local CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, we purchased a ’share’ of the produce from Simmon’s Farm, which is right here on the island. At [...]
My husband is a Seabee in the Navy Reserves. He’s a builder; puts up drywall, uses a hammer, particularly enjoys the nail gun and driving big machinery when he gets a chance, like he did in Iraq. But in the civilian world, he’s a marketing director. And he won’t be in another couple of weeks.
His [...]
So, I go for my amnio. Our baby has a heart defect and they had to check for lung maturity. She has some health issues coming up (but that’s for another post).
I think I am fine and not scared until we get to the hospital and then I start getting nervous. I get to the [...]
Summer is upon us and with shorts season now in full swing (at least here in the 90-degree Nashville weather we’re having), I have made a horrible discovery.
My thighs are talking to each other.
No, they’re not saying “hey good lookin’!” or “Wow, you’re so toned!”
It’s more like “Excuse me.”
“Pardon me.”
“Ooops, sorry about that!”
What has happened [...]
