Pull Up a Loveseat

Posted on February 13, 2011 by Laura

I was going to do “Tunnel of Love” and make it all cute for Valentine’s Day, but I couldn’t find a good picture.  They were all either cartoons, icky-sticky sweet, or rock album covers.  I suspect it’s a really good … Continue reading →

Pull Up a Blanket

Posted on January 9, 2011 by Laura

As I write this, we’re staring down the barrel of what could be a really, really nasty storm.  Right now, it’s 37° and foggy.  So foggy, I can’t see the road which is about one acre away.  That means the … Continue reading →

This was the Christmas of the Video Game for us.  I didn’t plan it this way, but it’s how it worked out.  Josh has been bugging me for a Nintendo DS for months.  Months, I tell you.  And I hadn’t … Continue reading →

Ahhh, the days after Thanksgiving.  You’re full of turkey, you’re full of shopping, and so exhausted that you can barely move.  So I figured we’d extend the weekend one more day, catch our breath, and gather in the rec room … Continue reading →

TGIF!

Posted on November 11, 2010 by Laura

Well, “TGIF” has a different meaning for me than it does for many of you.  Being a stay-at-home-mom, my time during the week is largely my own.  Doesn’t mean that I’m not busy and I don’t have things to do, … Continue reading →

Pull Up a Bleacher

Posted on October 17, 2010 by Laura

I totally love football, and honestly, as much as I like the NFL and college games, nothing – NOTHING – beats a high school game.  I don’t know if it’s like this where you are, but here in Iowa, Friday … Continue reading →

Pull Up A… Cup?

Posted on September 26, 2010 by Laura

Figured that, since we’re all back into our ‘regular’ schedules, with the kids back at school and us back to our non-summer, regular work schedules, that we should meet around the water-cooler this week. So, welcome to our little corner … Continue reading →
