Forty Mama: April 2011
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. And it's freakin cold! But don't get too excited, it's still really cold. At least we have Easter. Stickers on our faces. Eggs in our hands. I kind of hate all the junk that PAAS puts in their eggs now: stickers, plastic shrink wrap, glitter (which, in theory is cool, but it makes a total mess), glue. We had one brown egg left so we dunked it in purple (then in orange, and green and purple again.remember, these are 3 year olds). But I love how it turned out. Hi, I'm Tonya.

Forty Mama: February 2012
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. It's been over six months since I've posted. I suppose in the blogosphere, fortymama. Is toast. But I've been feeling like picking it up again, so here I am. It's completely overwhelming to consider recounting everything since July, and that also seems really boring, but allow me one look back. Hi, I'm Tonya. Labels: Life Before Mommy.

Forty Mama: Playing with Balloons
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2011/01/playing-with-balloons.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. One week ago Friday, we lost our 12 year old yellow lab, Dune. I told the kids that Daddy was taking Dune to heaven. I thought that would be a simple explanation, one that my parents had told me once, but it turned out to be a bit more complicated. In the sky, in the clouds". How are they gonna get there? Ummm well, he won't really be up there, it's his spirit really.". He needs a HELICOPTER! My little boy interjected. When is Dune coming back? Honey, he's not coming back".

Forty Mama: August 2010
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. I nearly kissed him. So as the day approached, I felt some guilt, but I was excited. Finally, some sun! But I never expected it to be such a carnage. I have to admit, as I watched the poor tree denuded and it's limbs fed into the grinding maw of the chipper I wondered if we made the right decision. Hi, I'm Tonya. Monday, August 16, 2010. 9:08 pm Went up, soothed him, but now he's at it again. 9:39 pm It's finally quiet. Whew. Hi, I'm Tonya. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Its a mo...

Forty Mama: An Authentic December
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2010/12/authentic-december.html
Monday, December 13, 2010. The kids had their first visit to Santa yesterday. Bear wanted nothing to do with him after thirty seconds, and Boo, having just pulled my carefully placed bow from her hair, decided she could look up from her candy cane long enough to smile. By now I know the scenario. The planning: I'm the warm hearted and excited hostess. Ready to welcome all into our house with freshly made beds, flowers and chocolates. Hi, I'm Tonya.

Forty Mama: November 2010
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Back again, both kid and carpet are clean. Now, where was I? The craft bug is biting me again. Actually, this is a project that I've been working on for a year now, but it was put on the back burner while I played PTA mom. Now that this volunteer project from hell is almost over (notice the word "almost"), I can get back to my own stuff and try to get something done by Christmas. No letters, yet, but here's sneak peek.I'll post better pictures once it's finished. Hi, I'm Tonya.

Forty Mama: December 2010
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. I'm na hantum prince, I'm Bear! TRANSLATION: I'm not a handsome prince, I'm Bear! My kids are into playing pretend. Pirates, Princesses, Monstas. When you are a mother, your princess days are over. Now you are relegated to be a monster or frog, or, if you're lucky, the princess's older sister. (Just had to share this). What more could you want? So now the family is gone, and tonight it's our turn. We've got a babysitter. Need I say more? Hi, I'm Tonya. Monday, December 13, 2010.

Forty Mama: July 2010
http://fortymama.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Some Days, You Just Need a Tutu. Hi, I'm Tonya. Sunday, July 25, 2010. A few days ago, M and I were at the playground with the kids, when Bear walked up to a big boy of five and said his usual "Hi". Bear's not shy at all, he loves to walk up to groups of kids, no matter what age and greet them, but this boy was having none of it. DON'T say hi to me! He yelled in Bear's face. Hi, I'm Tonya. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Hmmm, should I wash the dishes, or have a bowl of ice cream?
