Cupcakes and Commentary

I was going to entitle this post, “sickness spreads through our house like the plague”, but figured that the happy gardener would be a nicer memory, HA! As of today our little munchkin is hopefully on the mend (fingers crossed!) with only a bit of a remaining cough. However, both my husband and I have [...]

Don’t think I will keep this up. Me remembering to update my blog on a Saturday is about as promising as me remembering where I left my cellphone without calling it. Anyway, if you know me well you have an idea of my ridiculous sense of humor, and if you know my sister and I [...]

Sick again, should be the title for this post. Our little cupcake has been running a fever for about two days now and after a trip to the doctor (to discover it is not an ear infection, to my complete surprise), we are alternating fever meds to help keep down the fever and I have [...]

We have had quite a few busy weeks with a vacation, our good friends’ wedding (yea for Carly and BJ!), and now another few days of a sick toddler! However, our garden has managed to sustain itself with our recent inattention and is actually doing quite well! The tomatoes are almost completely ripened and ready [...]

I am no way an expert on traveling with a toddler, however I learned some things from our first trip to our second trip that made it go more smoothly (and less smoothly in some cases!). As far as food and naps.. – Bring lots of little snacks, and let them snack as much as [...]

Phew…if you are just reading this post, you will want to go waaay back to the first of the four posts that I put up yesterday. Our final part of our journey was a short stop in Disney World. Since we were going to be only an hour outside of Orlando I couldn’t resist going [...]

We saved one whole day to spend at the beach (which with a nineteen month old is really one morning and a very long afternoon nap!). We went to several local restaurants while we were at Cocoa Beach..the second night the restaurant we were planning to go to was closed for a private party, so [...]

We were very fortunate to get to see the last shuttle launch of Atlantis. We had a terrific viewpoint…6 miles away on a Florida causeway (the closest you can get is four miles away unless you are in a control room I hear). We had to be at a mall four hours early, then we [...]

We were so blessed to be able to stay at a friend’s condo for our beach stay. We had a great time and enjoyed soaking up the warm Florida sun. This was the first beach trip for our sweet boy, so I of course wanted to go on the beach as soon as we got [...]

One of Aidan’s favorite books is a Dr. Seuss re-write called “Wet Pet Dry Pet, Your Pet My Pet” (it’s a take off from One Fish, Two Fish)…and in it there is the line “from there to here, from here to there funny things are everywhere”. Since we have read it many times, I think [...]
