When I was younger (in my teens) and learning to sew. I came across a contraption and came in those nifty starter sewing kits. I couldn't figure out what it was. When I finally learned it was a needle threader, I scoffed. Why would you need something like that? Oh, the arrogance of youth. Now,…

Nutcracker signups are this week. We received the contracts on Tuesday. I am always excited when we first start getting information about the Nutcracker.

Really, where did April go? This week has been busy. We've had therapy, school work, ballet, rock climbing class, piano. Whew! No wonder I'm tired. Also, on Tuesday, my dear friend babysat the children so Ben and I could go out to dinner for my birthday. This is the first time in about 6 years…

Always pack the Xopenax when going for an overnight to your parents' house. Pumpkin will develop a cough and there will not be anything for her in your suitcase or purse. Oh, and get a bigger purse. You need to carry the Epi-pens and the Xopenax with spacer. They take up a lot of room. …

I was looking through my email inbox for an email from about 2 years ago. I'm awful about cleaning it out. I couldn't find it, but found a whole bunch of the notifications I receive whenever someone comments on my blog. That led to me think about the evolution of my blog. The commenters were…
