We are in Tennessee

Rehearsal dinner

The rehearsal and dinner went well. The twin flower girls are precious, and the evening was topped off by supremely sappy toasts, just the way such an event should be.My grandparents made it safely into town from nearly 2,000 miles away. They drove. I want to be that young when I have 23 great-grandchildren!I [...]

Did you miss me yet?

How do you know you’re tired?
Picture this:

Moms for Modesty

It worked!

It’s a small thing, but now I will be able to rest easy in Tennessee knowing that my freezer is closed!Remember this? No more freezer witnesses in our house, and no worrying that the freezer door will pop open spontaneously while we are gone.I took Lisa’s advice and shimmed up the front of the freezer. [...]

WFMW: my best tip

Shannon is asking for our best-and-favoritest-ever WFMW tip that we’ve ever posted. Well, she said “classic” but I’m pretty sure she meant best-and-favoritest-ever.I’m going with the old Emergency Diapers in the Carseat trick. This is where I cram 2 diapers and small packet of wipes down into the crevice between my baby/toddler’s carseat and the [...]

Carnival of Kid Comedy #25

My secret project

Yes, my secret project is an e-book! At least, I intend for it to be an e-book. It has grown as I work to the point where I am tempted to look into printing…how long is too long for an e-book?And though hubby and I were both tickled at Cindee’s and Beth’s guesses [...]

What’s new today?

Our Deanna went from this…
