Last night, Mr Wall Nut made a passing comment about people complaining about the new line of Girl Legos. I had only recently heard that there was now a line of Legos just for girls, and I think it is pretty darn cool! I did a Google search about Legos for Girls and took a quick glance at the articles to see that there are indeed issues concerning stereotyping and gender issues. If you ask me it is all a bunch of nonsense. I have been complaining for years (2.5 of them to be exact) that there was not a line of Legos just for girls. This seems like a perfectly logical thing to complain about. When I walk up and down the Pink...Keep Reading Here »

Normally, I like to use it to organize my week, but I am not feeling very motivated this week to get anything done. Sometime in the next 30 seconds I will have to come up with my own personal 10 Things list. You can list 10 Things about ANYTHING! 10 Things is different for everyone! 10 Favorite Books. 10 Things that made you smile this week. 10 Places you want to visit. 10 Favorite Movies. 10 Photos. 10 People you want to meet. 10 Favorite foods. See…it can be anything you can think of! We just need to see 10 of them.Keep Reading Here »

Happy Thursday Y’all! Here we go again, bringing back the goodness that y’all have come to know and love…and I am hoping, miss. I looked back through my blog, and can’t believe that I never even posted a simple Thankful Thursday post after Owain’s surgery. How did that happen? How did I just loose 6 months? How did I go from rejoicing over Owain’s successful Fontan procedure, to mourning over the loss of my Dad? Why is it that no matter what my husband does to support us, he can’t seem to catch a break?Keep Reading Here »

I had to check the actual day to make sure it was in fact Wednesday. It is. Then I was gonna do a Wordless Wednesday post, but then I realized that I haven’t taken hardly any pictures of anyone in MONTHS. What I did find was hundreds of photos from our pre-surgery Hershey Park Vacation! Remember my post yesterday when I said I was just going to pick up my life at 6 months ago and go from there? I meant it.        Keep Reading Here »

Remember when I used to blog every day? Way back to last summer? Let’s just pick up there and keep on going! Remember 10 Things Tuesday?? I KNOW you do! It is my series of blog posts were I organize my To Do list for the week. The organizing of my week has always been on Tuesdays, because Mondays are my off days. Monday is the end of my weekend and the day where I mentally sift through my life and file everything away in my subconscious. Tuesday is the day I pull it all out and put it together into a nice little To Do list. 10 Things Tuesday is my accountability project. Once it is tossed out for the whole of the...Keep Reading Here »

For me the New Year is a new type of beginning. THIS New Year is a new type of beginning. I am beginning life without my father. I am glad the Holidays are over. I don’t think I have ever been so miserable in my life. I struggled, with my Mom and my Brother, to make it through the Holidays. Personally, I didn’t need them at all. I want nothing. I need nothing. Except my Dad. And he is not here. And it sucks. We “celebrated” Christmas for the children. We tried to celebrate. I am not sure we did a very good job at it. If it wasn’t for the kindness, the overwhelming graciousness of my Dad’s closest friends and people from his...Keep Reading Here »

Yeah, Yeah, I know, I know, it doesn’t happen very often. But it does happen. Wait, it does happen often, it happens so much that we hardly think about it past the day it does. Today there is a school on lockdown right now. They just sent a message out to the parents via their school webiste…Keep Reading Here »
