TToT – Mexican Delicacies and a Love Letter of Sorts

Contrary to popular rumor, I have neither left the country or this life. I have, however, been sick with round two of whatever horrible allergy-induced respiratory nonsense I’ve had lurking the last couple of weeks. I’m sure it’s allergies because, well, the symptoms just don’t add up to anything else and…corn smut. Yup, corn smut.…

TToT – Dashing Off Again

I would much rather be in bed falling asleep right now than writing my TToT list. Can’t blame a girl for being honest. But the truth is that if I don’t do this now – quickly – I won’t do it at all because there won’t be a moment to do so. We’ve been busy…

TToT – Continued Progress

It doesn’t seem possible that a week has passed already. I can’t say I’m happy about how fast these days have flown. I need this summer to stretch long before us…we have a lot to do. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing this week – a lot. We’ve continued to work on our Great…

TToT – Back From My Break

A friend recently told me that she wasn’t aware I was taking a break from posting here. Neither was I. But it seems that’s exactly what I’ve done. Other than my TToT posts, the last few weeks have indeed been something of a blogging break here. It’s not a bad thing and I’m not apologizing…

TToT – Fast Pass Edition

How is it possible that a week has gone by so incredibly slow and incredibly fast at the same time? And then the weekend did the same thing? It was Friday afternoon like five seconds ago…how is it Sunday evening already? Since we’re down to the wire here, I’m jumping in on the tail end…

TToT – Light from Darkness

As I was putting together my list of Thankfuls for the week, I realized that there was something of a theme at work. We’ve had several “darker” moments this week – things that just haven’t been the most positive or haven’t gone quite the way we would have liked. But in several instances, a positive…

Not Your Day to Win

This post has been a long time coming. Mostly, I guess, because every time I sit and write some or think about the words that inspired it, I end up with really conflicted feelings about it – one day the whole thing spins very positive and another day it spins off in the absolute opposite…

Things I Never Thought I Would Do (Revisited)

This post originally appeared on my blog in August 2012. I’m re-posting it today because it (almost) perfectly fits one of Mama Kat’s prompts this week. It’s a few more items than the prompt asks for, but I couldn’t possibly choose…so I’m going with it. Once upon a time, I was completely non-girly.  Femininity is…

The Day We Did Nothing Together

Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to our own devices for the day. I thought of all the ways we could possibly spend…

Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story

A post inspired by the word diaper? I’ve so got this. There are some family stories that become legendary the moment they happen. They are the stories that are so completely unbelievable, that they simply have to be true. You know the kind – the ones that make people say “wow, you can’t make up stuff…
