TToT – How is May Not Over Yet???

Is it really still May? This has been like the never-ending month. I suppose it’s all just part of the never-ending winter followed by the never-ending second semester. Late Easter and early Memorial Day make for a long fourth quarter of the school year. And we are all so ready for school to be over.…

TToT – Still Here Living Life

I’m not sure how it happened, exactly, but it’s been two weeks since I posted anything. Intentional? Not really. I guess we’ve just been busy living life and trying to wind down this school year. This interminably long and drawn out school year, thank you very much Winter From Hell. But we’re getting there –…

Ten Things My Husband Will Never Understand

The Fab Hub is a terrific guy. He’s a great husband and a fantastic father. He is a talented musician and composer. He can build furniture, clip the Rotten Cats’ toenails, and paint a bedroom two shades of pink without breaking a sweat. (No, not all at the same time…) But the man does not understand…

TToT – A Whole Lotta Good

The sky was a glorious blue this morning and the breeze was just enough. It was the kind of day that always reminds me of an early summer at the beach – perfect. I felt pretty light as I drove alone with the moon roof open. It’s been a very good week. For starters, Zilla…

TToT – Dreams of Spring

I had a dream the other night. It was about eggs. Yes, eggs. I dreamt that I found two eggs fallen from a tree – miraculously unbroken – and returned them gently and safely to the nest. That was pretty much the whole thing, but it was vivid. I asked the Hub what he thought…

TToT – Back From My Break

A friend recently told me that she wasn’t aware I was taking a break from posting here. Neither was I. But it seems that’s exactly what I’ve done. Other than my TToT posts, the last few weeks have indeed been something of a blogging break here. It’s not a bad thing and I’m not apologizing…

TToT – Snow and Ice Edition

Is it really the end of the week? I’m not sure exactly how that happened. Maybe it’s because we had a three day week again…snow days Thursday and Friday and here we are in the very wee hours of Saturday already. So yeah, I’m so not prepared for TToT yet. I think we’ll wing this…

He Cooks! – Homemade Pizza Edition

My Husband claims he is a kitchen disaster. I wouldn’t exactly call him a disaster. But his skill level in the kitchen is not terribly high. Although I really do think he shortchanges himself quite a bit. The Fab Hub has become an expert smoothie maker and he assembles lunch for me and Kidzilla every…

TToT – Getting the Year Started Edition

Happy 2014 and welcome to the first TToT for the year! In an effort to get to a movie I am most thankful for having received as a Christmas gift, I am dispensing with any sort of crafty and witty introduction. I’ve got popcorn to pop, people. And yes, I’m counting that movie gift up…

Ten Things of Thankful – Couldn’t Help Myself Edition

I couldn’t help myself. Over the last couple of months, I’ve become so accustomed to looking for the positive moments in my weeks, that I couldn’t help but sit down on Friday night and start my TToT list. But there’s no TToT linkup for an entire fortnight. Everybody has holiday things to do and that’s wonderful.…
