Mom and I took Macy out for a little shopping on the afternoon of Black Friday (by the time all the serious had gone home). We didn’t buy anything, but had fun getting out for a little while. While we were out I discovered my favorite store cart at JC Penny’s. Macy squealed when I… Continue reading Black Friday Shopping

We had a great trip to Mississippi last week. It was great to see family again, eat yummy food (Doug and I both say that we gain 5 lbs. just crossing the state line, and watch Macy soak up time with her extended family. I have to brag on her…during the entire ride too AND… Continue reading Thanksgiving…part 1

Macy has officially broken in her Christmas pajamas. We’re going to have to work on recognizing Santa though. When I asked her who was on her shirt she said “old man”. Doug and I have no idea where she picked up the phrase, but this is the 2nd time she’s used it. Luckily she hasn’t… Continue reading It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

One of the things I’ve wanted to do this fall is make homemade pumpkin bread. I’ve never done it before, but I’m feeling very “holidayish” this year so I thought pumpkin bread would be a fun fall activity. I found a recipe online (that didn’t call for me actually buying a pumpkin….I figured I should… Continue reading Pumpkin Bread

I love to see Macy’s personality grow everyday. She’s definitely as quirky as her parents! The other day I gave her some water while I was cleaning the kitchen. She drank a little then went back to playing with her nesting blocks. I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed she had put her… Continue reading Love this kid…..

Doug was going to his parents house today to help do some yard work in preparation for it to be put on the market, so I thought Macy and I would take a quick trip over to get out of the house.  The weather was absolutely perfect…sunny with a cool fall breeze.  The principal at… Continue reading Gardening at Omie and PopPop's House

I have to appologize to my loyal blog checkers who have been very disappointed in the lack of posts over the past couple months.  Working, chasing a toddler, and being pregnant (and feeling really gross for a really long time) haven’t made me the most loyal blogger, but I’m feeling better now and hope to… Continue reading Yep, it's been a while…

Desperate grocery times (aka the first week of school) call for desperate lunch measures. I went into the kitchen today to make Macys lunch and discovered we were completely out of milk and meat….but we did have pimento cheese (that counts as a dairy). So Macy had her first pimento cheese sandwich today…actually it was… Continue reading First Pimento Cheese Sandwich

What started out as a normal Sunday turned out to be a big day for us…well, not huge big, but bigger than usual. The first “big” event of the day was Macy riding in the new car for the first time WHILE she faced the front for the first time. We put Macy’s carseat rear… Continue reading Big Day

Doug and I figured that if our government is using our tax money to buy old cars, then we might as well take our share. We parted with the faithful bronco to get an incredible deal on a dodge caliber. Doug has officially graduated from the Camry!!!! Though it was a bittersweet parting with the… Continue reading We got cash for our clunker!
