B&B Mansfield: August 2016
http://bandbmansfield.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 26, 2016. Apples in Her Eyelashes. There she was in the Bumbo,. Her arms waving, toes wiggling, and fingers reaching for the buckles. Probably in anticipation, waiting to see what I would bring her. At the first spoonful, she made her scrunchy faces and food shivers. And then upon the realization that it was her favorite,. Attacked the spoon with her face and got. Apples in Her Eyelashes. I thought she would cry, but we both just laughed. And laughed and laughed and laughed.

B&B Mansfield: April 2016
http://bandbmansfield.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 3, 2016. Motherhood Looks Great on You. You just have that Glow. I can't believe you just had a baby. Did you even have a baby? Motherhood looks great on you. Isn't that what every mother wants to hear, as if it were some rite of passage into the new maternal role to be told that it made her more Beautiful? But what does this really mean? Mothers go longer on less sleep and give more to others with less personal renewal for themselves than any other group I know at any other time in life...

B&B Mansfield: September 2014

Thursday, September 11, 2014. My Dad, ALS, and that Ice Bucket Challenge. September 11th is the day my Dad passed away. He didn't die as a hero in the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks, but he is my hero. You people with your ice bucket fails though. you need to be careful with heavy things. The first ice bucket video I saw was Taylor Swift's. I had no clue at the time what it was about. Some kind of spontaneous water fight? Surprising, I thought, that suddenly people were aware of the rare dise...

Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Kids Make the Best Comedians - Part III. If you haven't read any of my other posts, I work as a pediatric speech-language pathologist in an elementary school setting. And I have to say that my students have only increased in their comedic value since the last installment of Kids Make the Best Comedians. I think this makes my job so much easier and passes the work days a LOT smoother because all the time I'm like this. DOWN You mean down. You just do. Him: "Like a five.". 5 Another...

B&B Mansfield: November 2016
http://bandbmansfield.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2016. It was home when we came from Montana,. Ready to get out of the basement with the stowaway cat and the faulty plumbing. It was home with the little balcony and willow trees and kids leaving all their toys out on the lawn. Kid, don't you leave your full deck of Pokemon cards out again or we'll confiscate them). It was home when we could hear the Asian family upstairs making their porkchops,. And when the kitchen was a tornado of flower trimmings, nothing felt more like home.

B&B Mansfield: September 2015
http://bandbmansfield.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 11, 2015. My Summer was a Black Hole, but That’s Okay. There was a point in time when my husband Bryan was fixated on the movie Interstellar and the science of black holes. He even opened his old physical science textbook to further explicate to me only the most accurate details. We speculated about it for hours. As I sit here thinking about how I would describe the summer, those black hole descriptions just seem to fit the best. I lost my summer into a Black Hole. How was your summer?

Friday, February 19, 2016. Jenna's Story - Winter Showers. Continued from this post. The 22nd (Friday) I had work off for grade transmittal (I LOVE MY JOB! So I could focus on getting better from the cold symptoms that were still hanging on - I mean, a speech therapist with no voice? Our stroller and car seat arrived that morning. I'm obsessed with them and how I was able to find such a good deal on them! Thanks Mom for the Christmas money that paid for them! Saturday morning was my Baby Shower! I was so...
