TToT – Hiatus

Apparently, I’m on hiatus. Not even kidding. Look back at my blog calendar since June and you will see a significant lack of posting. The TToT still makes it in each week, but lately that’s about it. Oh, I have ideas…loads of them. Drafts, too. Half-written, abandoned, “meh, nobody will want to read this” kind…

TToT – Goodbye, July!

It has been a long and crazy month. But in a good and happy way. Most of our activity was centered on Kidzilla’s activity schedule and our little girl has been on the go! She has gained so much from these last few weeks and I think it’s safe to say that we have as…

TToT – Cobwebs

You’ll have to please excuse the bit of dust on my blog. Despite any good intentions or potentially good post ideas, very little has happened around here – save the TToTs – in a very long time. I blame it on several things. Some of the reasons are interesting and relevant; others are not. Regardless, here…

TToT – Birthdays and Life, Part 2

It’s birthday time again! Well, it was. Tuesday was my birthday and it was quite possibly the most absurd one I’ve had in a while – maybe ever. The day started off fine and quite as usual with a Happy Birthday text from Super Sister at 12:01 AM. Always. I love it. I am thankful…

TToT – Summertime

There’s something special about summertime… The daylight lasts longer… Time seems to move a bit slower… Even the busy days feel a bit less structured and demanding. There is time to breathe, to inhale deeply, and to live deliberately… We are one week into our official summer break and have filled it with wonderful moments…

TToT – Short Week

The short week after a Monday holiday is always a particular kind of hell. In theory, it’s a great thing. You get to skip Monday and only face four days of the regular week – whatever your regular might be – before it’s weekend time all over again. But. In a short week after a…

TToT – Simple Practicality

There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

TToT – The One Hundredth!

It’s party time, kids! This week we are celebrating the ONE HUNDREDTH Ten Things of Thankful link-up! Ten items every week…one hundred weeks…ten lovely co-hosts…plus everyone else who links each week? That’s a lot of thankful! I have been part of the TToT since almost the beginning – I pipped into the link-up at number…

TToT – Upright

I am upright. In fact, I’ve been upright for pretty much the entire day. That’s a major accomplishment considering I’ve been in bed sick since Sunday night – and when I say in bed since Sunday night, I’m not kidding. You know you’re seriously down for the count when you only leave the bed to…

Rotten Cat Wednesday

This is Cat One. When I took this photo, he was howling at me because the laundry basket was in “his” spot at the foot of our bed. And here he is happy after I removed the offending basket. After the photo, he immediately proceeded to lick himself enthusiastically. Nobody needs to see that. Here…
