The Snake Show – Jewelry Edition

It’s become a Johnson family tradition: right around Miss A’s bday we head out for our annual trip to ReptileFest…what we refer to as, “the snake show.” I come along just to take pics…I have never liked snakes…not since I screamed bloody murder the time a little garter snake crossed my path on the side…

A Cake for all Seasons (and reasons)

There’s really not much to say here, a few months ago my husband underwent a procedure and decided a celebration was in order. And what’s a party without cake? Also on the menu were cocktail weenies, bbq meatballs, cheese balls, donut holes, and those little sweet pickles. Yes, you detect a theme. Congrats to my…

Little Sis’ turn

Lots of special moments enjoying being with family and opening presents, and lots of great…

International Santa

So we have established the fact that Santa only brings one gift to each child since he can’t fit more than that in his sack of presents. (Besides, we want some of the credit, glory, and gratitude of the delight of Christmas morning!) So Aishtyn knows that she asks Santa for the one thing she…

Pregnancy Dreams that Turn into Fears

Ok – so I know that when you’re pregnant you have all these extra hormones racing around and aside from making you nauseous, tired, crabby or all of the above it can make you have some pretty freakin’ weird dreams. Last night the dream was more unsettling than freaky. I dreamt that my new baby…
