We all have them, those songs that we should probably be too “something” for – too old, too cool, too un-cool, too non-conventional, too mainstream, too whatever..but despite it all, we still love them. Or maybe we know a song is really bad: the lyrics are beyond awful, the singer had enough electronic assistance and…
Miss A’s Christmas Wishlist is long and just keeps getting longer. No, there is no freakin’ way she will be getting everything on her list, not now at Christmas, nor at her birthday, nor maybe ever. Aside from the fact that we’d have no money left for college (or next month’s electric bill), some stuff…
This has been a good year for meeting people who inspire me. As you may recall, I got to meet my favorite author, Diana Gabaldon. Then at a 7Nations concert (pretty much the only band I enjoy seeing live) the lead singer and bass player signed my CD. ETA: I just wanted to add, that…
Let’s just take a look at this for a moment, shall we? I really don’t need to say anything more. This gem, along with 9 other Twilighterrific products, is from a post my darling husband sent to me. The man loves to tease me since I read all the Twilight books this past October (and…
One of the wonderful things about homeschooling is that it gives me an excuse to make all the fun little crafty things I used to love creating when I was a kid. From cotton ball Santa Beards to handprint turkeys, I really enjoy making holiday craft projects with Miss A (and Lil’ G is starting…
Readin’ thru the comments over at Artsyville, I happened across mention of a contest, so of course the chance at something free lured me over to a great artsy/mom website that has potential to be a Monday Muse once I pick that back up in December. We Blog Artists is giving away one of their…
One of my beloved Monday Muses, Miss Aimee of Artsyville, recently posted some materials she created for a workshop on lettering she taught at KU. One of the hand-outs she created was a stream of consciousness instructional “lecture” on how to just let go and create. I am totally stealing her words and applying them…
You know that feeling you get when you first fall in love, and you have to tell everyone about so-and-so, you just can’t stop talking about so-and-so, you can’t wait to see so-and-so again? Well, I fell in love Saturday night. Don’t worry, the husband was with me…and no, things didn’t get kinky…(though the 2…
I can’t think of a kid that doesn’t love getting mail. Heck, I still love getting mail (the hand written notes and cards kind). So I was super excited when I found out about the International Family Holiday Card Exchange Hosted by Kids Craft Weekly. Basically, once you sign up, you will receive a list…
It’s been awhile since I’ve burned the midnight oil so many nights in a row, probably not since Miss A was a screaming cranky mess of a baby (Lil G has been a good sleeper pretty much since day 1, BLESS her). Trying to squeeze NaNo writing time into my day just isn’t happening, so…
