My new obsession has become a website called: www.paperbackswap.com that Diary of a SAHM introduced to me. It is the solution to getting rid of all the old books I don’t want, while getting something in return.

Even though we have been back for about a week, I took a little blogging hiatus to clean house, organize our lives, catch up other blogs, and watch the LOST season finale.
On May 16th the kids and I traveled to Arkansas. We spent most of our time in Malvern (see starred city on map) […]
The kids and I are going away for a week. I won’t be posting while we are gone. Please come back later to see pictures and find out all about our fun vacation.
Adios!

I was 16 in 1996. In that year:

It’s 96 degrees here! Is it summer already?!?
Every morning Autumn wakes me up smiling. When I finally roll out of bed she runs to me, “mama your awake!” she exclaims and then proceeds to focus all of her attention on me. We kiss and snuggle and then she says, “what should we do today?’ She tells me how much she loves […]
Today is the final day of the organizational challenge. Yesterday I spent much of the day organizing pictures (we literally had 2 trunks full of pictures) and this morning I worked on the room for a few more hours. Brian helped a little and then we took pictures and admired my work. It feels so great […]
