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…

Sleep

I had to put my daughter to sleep tonight. Like, actually put her to sleep as in help her to fall asleep. Zilla is usually very good about going to bed and nearly always falls asleep immediately and emphatically. Even better, she stays emphatically asleep for ten hours nearly every night. Not tonight.

Things I Never Thought I Would Do (Revisited)

This post originally appeared on my blog in August 2012. I’m re-posting it today because it (almost) perfectly fits one of Mama Kat’s prompts this week. It’s a few more items than the prompt asks for, but I couldn’t possibly choose…so I’m going with it. Once upon a time, I was completely non-girly.  Femininity is…

Friday Favorites on Thursday Night

Call me a rebel. I realized I haven’t done a Five Friday Favorites in about forever, so I’m tossing one up right now. On Thursday. No fuss, no ado, just five down and dirty favorites of the moment as they fall out of my head. Right. Now. Here they are.

TToT – Warm-Up and Move Forward Edition

So I go hog-wild last weekend and post not one but TWO TToT lists and then… …a very lame Wordless Wednesday (which does indeed have a whole lot of words)… …and nothing else. I have so many drafts in my drafts folder and I am quite excited to finish and post them, but all sit unfinished…

TToT Part Two – A Day with My Daughter

This is a first-ever event, friends. I’m linking up with TToT for a second list this weekend! I’ve seen others do it and wondered, “How in the world do they have two whole lists in that short a time?” Some weeks I have to really stretch my brain to get the first list finished. But…

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.…

About a Christmas List

The other night as I supervised Zilla’s bath time routine, we chatted about all things Christmas. At some point, the conversation turned to Santa. I realized that with a mere week until Christmas, my child had not really talked much about Christmas presents. Me: Zilla… Z: Yes, Mom? Me: Zilla, did you write a letter to…
