Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. I told you all I'd be triumphant! Here are some pictures of my new house and puppy. (I didn't take pictures of my whole house because some of the rooms are pretty messy right now. Plus, I didn't feel like cleaning/organizing anymore today after I'd gotten the public rooms sorted out.). The (Someday) Dining Area. By the way, the green fabric tacked over the window is NOT my idea of...

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Friday, August 8, 2014. Good morning. If you've read my last post, you'll remember that I am in the middle of an epic "Organize My Life" project. I'm happy to report that I have now reclaimed a second room from the chaos in my home: the bathroom! My "daily use" bases are almost covered. :-D If I can get the kitchen under control soon I'll be on the downhill slope! It's a vicious cycle. If any of you have ad...

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Saturday, August 30, 2014. We are all sleep deprived and grumpy at our house. Lucy is cutting in at least three molars. At the same time. For any of you who might not be parents yet, I warn you: this particular teething experience will be awful. For those of you who are or have been, I hope you will send good karma my way so that we can get through this. Laugh, and the world laughs with you;. The echoes bou...

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Monday, May 2, 2011. Right Now I'm Thinking. That I don't blog as often or well as my sister. In fact I usually only change my background if I see she's changed hers for the month.hmm.mimicry is the highest form of flattery, right? The people who say you should drink 64 fl. oz. of water a day had a little something slipped into their water in the '60s. I swear it can't be done! Stop thinking about chocolate!

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Friday, April 26, 2013. Finding my silver lining. Believe it or not, I started a writing a post for last night; but, upon reflection, I was writing from an unhappy place and chose to not put all that negativity out there once I got home. Plus, last night, my sweet in-laws sent up a special surprise that totally made my night: a bassinet that's been in their family for over 120 years! It's all hand-turned sp...

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Sunday, July 6, 2014. It's Too Darn Hot! First of all, I hope everyone had a very happy Independence Day! Even though Patrick had to work part of the day, we got to enjoy playing games with family and going to watch the fireworks display. (Thanks again to Laura for the photos! Playing patty cake while waiting for the fireworks to start. After two years in our home, we've developed a pretty good formula for ...

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Cars, Crafts, and Kids. So today was good, because we got the Subaru registered during the morning and then I got to hang out at Chrissy's for the afternoon while Patrick was at work. And while I was there, I discovered a truly awesome version of hide-and-seek. My favorite one was this:. Lila: Um, Caite, we just really want to play hide-and-seek with you. Evie: You could count!

Magic is a State of Mind. God gave us memory that we might have roses in December." - J.M. Barrie. Friday, August 1, 2014. One day at a time. I recently came across a quote that I really like and wanted to apply to my life. (I apologize in advance: I can't remember who or where it's from, but you can visit our ol' pal Google if you're just burning to find out.). It's only possible to live happily ever after one day at a time.". But I am progressing more than I thought I'd be able to at this pace. As I ex...
