The story of the chew cane isn’t monumental…or even very entertaining to those who aren’t me, but because I can launch anything I want out into cyberspace, I’ve decided that it’s something I want to remember and force my kids to remember. When I was a baby someone made me a fabric candy cane (it… Continue reading The story of the "chew cane"

Christmas in Mississippi started with the traditional “box”.  Every year my grandmother puts a small Christmasy item in a box with $50.  She writes extremely helpful clues (like “loved by young and old”, “very Christmasy”, and “can be light or dark”…and oddly enough the clues sound exactly the same every year). Then we all write… Continue reading Christmas in Mississippi

We had a great time celebrating Christmas.  We were in SC on Christmas day and then went to MS on the 26th.  It was so much fun for the kids to wake up and see the gifts under the tree (Steven kept any gifts from being put out earlier…I could see me leaving the room… Continue reading Happy Birthday Jesus!

(Since we’ll be celebrating Steven’s birthday this weekend, I figured I might want to finish up posting about Christmas…you know, before I too many more holidays stack up.) I’m not sure what got a hold of me, but I had an overwhelming desire to make homemade sugar cookies this year for Christmas.  Maybe it was… Continue reading Christmas cookies

Steven is talking a lot these days and it’s so much fun to be able to communicate with him. Most of what he’s saying is still in “Stevenese”, so unless you’re around him a lot (or happen to have taken a class in Stevenese) he can still be hard to understand. For example, if he… Continue reading Woanick & Mayonnaise

Logan had his first “real” food last week. I skipped rice cereal and went straight to oatmeal cereal since he hasn’t had the most cooperative stomach. He loved it and did great with the spoon. His stomach wasn’t such a fan, so I was going to ease off to every other day, but all 3… Continue reading 1st oatmeal

What does it say about us if our 3 1/2 year old realizes that the letters in her name also spell YMCA before her father and I do?

Macy was in her 1st Christmas Program at preschool this year (she was sick last year).  Doug and I were both nervous since we’d never seen how she would act on stage…and got even more nervous as the kids started walking down the aisles and 2 kids saw their parents and never made it to… Continue reading Macy's 1st Christmas Program

One day I asked Macy to sit on the floor and read a book to Steven because he’s been teething and was grouchy.  She sat down with the book and I told Steven to go sit by Macy because she was going to read to him.  I didn’t think about the fact that whenever anyone… Continue reading Little momma

Logan has been a tummy sleeper for months now, but only because I put him to bed like that to help his stomach issues.  He had been trying to roll over for a long time and had gotten really good at getting far enough on his side to fall asleep, but on December 14 (please disregard the… Continue reading Rolling over
