sunny day, sweepin’ the clouds away…

I suppose Coop and Ty are getting too old for Sesame Street – one of the very best shows for children. (*sigh*)  But they still love to watch these old clips from “way back” when Mom used to watch it as a kid. If you’re a child of the 70’s or early 80’s, the following [...]

current obsessions

these are a few of my favorite things…
~Mad Men on AMC ~
(Kris and I watched the whole first season in about 4 evenings.  It is SO GOOD.  It does, however, make me really thankful that he is not an ad man in the 60’s.  Wow.)

~Archer Farms Blueberry Granola with Flax ~
(I can’t stop eating this [...]

frosting shots

Exactly what you think it is – and also pretty much the GREATEST IDEA EVER. Some bakeries have started selling these for around 75 cents a pop.  I’ve always preferred the frosting over the actual cupcake.  I need one (or 3) of these right about now.  YUM!

moving on

Guess it’s time to start talking about something other than the beach.  (You’re welcome)  
How about MOVIES!  I loooove movies.  I don’t so much love going to the theater though – people annoy the holy hell out of me.  However, I will suffer through the whole experience for certain movies.  Kris and I saw Iron [...]

all good things

Well, it’s over.  We head back home today.  I’m so glad we were able to take this trip – it came at just the right time, I think.  We were all in a bit of a summer rut, and being together all week has been amazing.  Not having to worry about work, or cleaning the [...]

little green friends

Here are some pictures of wildlife that the boys thought we needed to take home with us.  Very cute, but staying at the beach.  Also staying at the beach?  All the hermit crabs we’ve seen for sale.
