Let Summer Begin!

Today was Noah’s last day of his first year of pre-school. The weather was the perfect “last day of school” weather… sunny and warm {it’s supposed to be in the upper 80’s/90’s today} and a nice strong breeze… okay so the breeze is actually more like a good strong wind… but it helps keep things a little cooler.

One dry, one to go!

Our diaper/pull-up days are numbered here in our house! While Noah has been dry during the day for the past year, he has still been wearing {and needing pull-ups} at night. Over the past few months, the number of dry nights have been increasing, but there were still many, many, many nights that weren’t {not to mention that we had our fair share of nights that ended up with wet sheets}.

Friday Flashback – How Do You Describe a Miracle?

It wasn’t my intention to take the week off from blogging, but the weather was beautiful and the kids and I ended up spending hours upon hours outside this week. I planted flowers while they played, we pulled the little swimming pool out of its sleeping spot in the basement and we had picnics on the deck… it felt soooo good. I’m so happy that Spring has finally arrived! One of the things that I love about spring and fall is that I can open the windows and doors and let the fresh air flow through the house… it’s a bit cleansing for me… like the breeze is taking away all of the bad stuff and replacing it with freshness… but I digress.

Friday Flashback

I’ve been taking part in the SITS Spring Fling these past few days, in an effort to get myself back into the writing and social media groove. While I have accounts with most major social media outlets, I have to admit that I’m not always very active on all (or any of them). I’ve drastically cut back on my time spent on the laptop during nap time, in an effort to focus more on Noby Designs, but the past week or so has been spent getting all things blog related updated.

Noah and Mama time

It was Mom’s Day at preschool today and thanks to Ray, I was able to go and spend some time alone with Noah. Before Abby, everyday was Noah and Mama day, but since her birth, those times have become few and far between… and both. Noah and I  agreed that we need to have them

He’s having an affair

There’s a new woman in my husband’s life and his love for her is quite obvious. They’ve only known each other for a few days, and yet he’s already buying gifts for her… and you know what, I’m okay with it. In fact, I encouraged him to get together with her… I don’t think he would have even made the move to go meet her had I not given him my blessing. Have I gone bonkers? No, not really… because this is his new love….

Never stop reading

I have always loved to read. I remember when I was younger… much, much younger… and still living in Ohio, we would go to the library next to my aunt and uncles house and I would leave with a stack of books. I devoured them and could never get enough. The years moved on and my love for reading never went away… thankfully. Amazon.de {the German version} and I were thisclose while I was in Germany.
