Bullied on the playground.

February 25, 2011

Yesterday at the playground, Ryann was bullied.  By seven year old’s. A boy and a girl. Ryann is 17 months old.  A bold statement? Indeed. But true. Ryann bent down to crawl into a fort like space under one of the big slides, I was right behind her, JPW on the other side waiting for [...]

January 23, 2011

Well it’s officially been one week as my new stay at home mom status.  A few questions have come up that I’d like to answer for you. Am I bored?  NO!  I organized the pantry, my sewing fabric drawers and purged most  of my belts.  I signed up for Stroller Strides and attended Toddler Time [...]

Be still my heart, my OCD is back!

January 18, 2011

It’s true that the past few months I’ve been out of sorts. My OCD some how slipped away on a vacation and I wasn’t going crazy about the house or organizing. But that my friends, is over. I am home now, I have looked around, stepped back and oh my do I need to do [...]

Our new normal.

January 17, 2011

The next chapter in our lives is among us. Today starts are our new “routine”, our new normal. My journey here has been interesting, this is all uncharted territory for me. It’s true that when I had Ryann, I was home with her for the first three and a half months. But looking back, that [...]

The American Dream

August 23, 2010

What’s your definition of the American Dream? Is it home ownership?  Is it living debt free?  Is it calling a suitable house, home, whether rented or purchased?  Does the American Dream exist anymore? I want a yard for our kids to run around in and a huge swing set for them to climb on and [...]

Part of the club.

July 13, 2010

We were invited to a neighborhood cookout this past weekend at our neighbors house.  Since we’ve lived here now for 6.5 months it’s about time we start making some neighborhood friends and learning everyone’s name.  We arrived about an hour after it officially started with beer, wine, chips and a baby in tow.  I parked [...]

Happy “Butt”ers Day

May 9, 2010

It takes a special little someone (and special husband to come up with the idea) to make a card like this: Original butt-work by REW. My first Mother’s Day was perfect.  Although Ryann made me work extra hard for it (she was up at least six times last night, I lost count after 2:30).  JPW [...]

Feels like home.

LCW: no, why do you ask? it only feels like home because we’re all together functioning as a family, sleeping and waking together.  but it’s not home at all. JPW:  there are just days i miss st. augustine the neighborhood may [...]

3.5 hours, one plate and a marriage.

April 6, 2010

The first nine months of our marriage we lived apart.  Not because we wanted to be apart, but because JPW’s job had him 3.5 hours away (and that was on a good day with zero traffic).  He came home every weekend.  I was bored all summer long after school ended, and before the baby came. [...]

Here comes the bride.

February 16, 2010

My wedding dress is still dirty and hanging in the guest room closet.  I just haven’t gotten around to doing anything with it.  I used my veil in some maternity photos, but other than that I just keep moving my dress to different closets in hopes that it’ll some how clean and store itself.  That [...]
