After mama firmly says there is to be no watering her (yep, me), our Little Gal sets her sights on surprising her 12 year old brother with a shot of water from the hose.
She kinks the hose to build up pressure.
She cannot contain the giddiness (and a hint of an evil grin).
Ready, aim…
Ugh. Life is like [...]

I read a book once that said there is a real lack of dirt in the average American diet. The author says we need to have a little dirt on our hands so that we get it into our mouths on “accident” (ick), which sends it to our digestive system, keeping us healthy.
If that’s true, I think our family is going [...]

We’ve found some critters lately.
First of all, we have a goat on a tote…
Her name is Flower. She knocked down the pile of bricks that she used to use, so now she uses an upside-down tote for naps and general laziness.
This critter was at our back door yesterday morning. It was a shy thing, flitting around [...]

I read a magazine article recently about a photographer who was asked what he was doing lying on his side outdoors. The photographer held up his camera and said, “I’m taking photos.” The traveler looked around at the dry brush and ugliness surrounding them and said, “Of what?” The photographer said, “Of God.”
This is where I live.
I find [...]

These kids just don’t listen to me. Year after year, I say, “Don’t turn 8 or 10 or 12 or ….. 5.”
I get pouty just thinking about our Little Gal turning five.
I guess I’m going to have to face it. Birthday presents have already come in the mail (still wrapped, waiting for the day, later [...]

Our Little Guy got the sweetest look on his face today when I read Eugene Field’s (1850-1895) poem, The Night Wind, to him. You might like it, too:
Have you ever heard the wind go “Yooooo”?
’T is a pitiful sound to hear!
It seems to chill you through and through
With a strange and speechless fear.
‘T is the voice [...]

We have wacky weather here on the Gulf Coast. Storms come out of pure blue skies without warning and disappear just as suddenly. Our family likes our storms, but today the “boom” was a bit too loud and scary for a little certain someone.
So we found another use for a few bedsheets, a pile of quilts, and our dining table.
A special [...]

Our Valentine’s Day didn’t go as planned, so we had to stay home instead of going to a skating party with friends.
We had fun anyway…

Thank God we live in the age of digital cameras. Imagine having to actually pay for a roll of film (gasp! only 36 in a roll!) again. When our first child was born, we were still in those dark (room) ages. It got really expensive. Here’s why: It takes 100 photos to get just 1 good one of these [...]

To celebrate the first day of February (honestly, just because), the kids and I (minus our 12-year-old fellow who stayed behind to build a fort without his fort-wrecking siblings around) went for a walk.
I couldn’t help but hum Waiting in the Weeds the entire time.
Not that the song is about children and their mama and the [...]

I kind of like my man.
He’s tough.
Real tough.
But when it comes to our little ladies…
he’s not so tough.
