YOU try to ignore the Universe…

becky | May 28, 2009

I know I should be blogging about all the wild and crazy things going on in my life (like the laundry that is overflowing, the dust that is an inch thick or the soccer/baseball practices/games I attend…) but I’m just too busy signing up for eHarmony! This time it’s not because I have nothing to blog [...]

i wonder…

I wonder if my baby niece could be any cuter? I wonder how she liked the very pretty hair-do her Aunt Becky gave her? I wonder if she’s giving me the “stink-eye” or if this is her very best smile? And I wonder if I stuck her in my suitcase, would my sister really mind… [...]

Nine

becky | May 24, 2009

Dear Ben, Today you turn nine.  This simple fact makes me stop dead in my tracks and have to do the math.  How is this possible that nine years have gone by?  It seems like just last week I was changing your diaper while singing “Little Ducky Duddle” where immediately upon the end of the [...]

Hey Rochel, will you take our picture? I wasn’t looking…  that was terrible.  Let’s try again… Ben!  What are you doing!?  Did someone just tell you Santa is dead?  Ugh, one more ok? Oh dear.  Ok this one, EVERYONE LOOK at Rochel and LOOK CUTE! And I give up. Not So Wordless Wednesday

Life got a workout this weekend.  And I don’t mean the normal insane-paced life of soccer, baseball, friends, etc.  that Ben and I lead.   I mean that between Friday and Sunday my dear friend Kim hit a milestone birthday which she tried to ignore but gladly in the end succumbed to her bossy friends, my dad [...]

Whew!  I’m back.  And check me out!  What do you think of my new digs?  Unless the answer is something along the lines of “it’s so fantastic I’m not quite sure what to do with myself…” please, keep the comments to yourself.   As this wasn’t a walk in the park change. I would like to [...]

Please Stand By

Recently I’ve been having a SEVERE case of I’MSOBOREDWITHMYBLOGIMIGHTTHROWUP.  When this happens at home, I rearrange my place.  So… why not here?  Give myself a face-lift if you will.  This is all well and good except for one TINY ITSY BITSY detail.  I know NOTHING about running a website.  So what you see here is [...]

The Mother Lode

becky | May 11, 2009

On Sunday, my mom, Ben and I loaded ourselves into the car and headed to Chicago to spend Mother’s Day with my sister.  Spending Mother’s Day with Debby is like spending Christmas with Santa.  As the mother of seven, she OWNS this day. After a short “ice breaker” game of short introductions and favorite hobbies, since [...]
