http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Always Expect The Unexpected. Always Expect The Unexpected. Paul and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. Our tradition is to take turns (every other year) planing the anniversary festivities. This year was Paul's turn and I was so excited for what he had up his sleeve. Did he kill somebody?

Rae's Ramblings: Ritual
http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2012/03/ritual.html
Sunday, March 11, 2012. So I have this ritual. Every year, the night before one of my children's birthdays, I end up tucking them into bed while I sob. This was something that my mom used to do. This was something that I used to think my mom was crazy for. Maybe someday she won't think her emotional mom is such a nut. Today I hugged my mom a little bit tighter. After all of these years, I get it now. Being a parent will bring you the biggest emotional highs and some crazy emotional growing pa...LOVES * C...

Rae's Ramblings: The New Definition of Ladies' Night...
http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-definition-of-ladies-night.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. The New Definition of Ladies' Night. There are all different types of ladies' nights:. The first one you experience in middle school. This involved a sleepover with movies, a game of truth or dare, boy talk, and usually someone ending up in tears. The next one you experience in high school. This involved prank calls, "drive bys", caffeine, MTV, and boy talk. Zoe and I in our matching aprons! Zoe trying to keep Roxie busy. Loving the rolling pin. Cutting out our pumpkin cookies.

http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2012/01/weekend-o-dance.html
Sunday, January 8, 2012. This weekend marked the celebration of the 11th annual Weekend-O-Dance. Weekend-O-Dance is when all my best college dance friends come to town for a weekend of girl nonsense. It is the one time a year that we are all in the same state together. It is a weekend of reminiscing, catching up, dining, cocktailing, dancing, and laughing until our sides hurt. Did I mention lack of sleep? Yeah, there is that, too! Until next year, ladies. This is for you. 1st Ever Weekend-O-Dance - 2002.

http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-love-you-to-pieces.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. I Love You To Pieces. Have you ever loved something to pieces, literally? I'm not talking about a person or an animal, I'm talking about an actual "thing". Well, I definetly have and now so has my sweet little Zoe. The next morning as we were shopping I saw her staring at an isle of baby blankets with tears in her eyes. I couldn't stand it, I asked her, "Zoe, do you want to pick out a new Mr. Cozy? Me with my "blankie" at 1 1/2. Notice the vibrant colors! Zoe and Mr. Cozy.

Rae's Ramblings: September 2010
http://raesramblings1.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. Dumb Things Stupid People Say. I am always amazed by the dumb things people say. Some people really don't think before they speak.or do they just not care what comes out of their mouth? Maybe they just don't care. Maybe that is a better way to live -. Just say what you think with no filter. I don't know, judge for yourself. These are three actual conversations I have had in the. Past three days - they are not altered in any way. Saturday at Party City. Me: Almost four months.
