So when we moved into our house, I noticed that we had a bit of a ring in our toilet from the hard water. I assumed I’d be able to scrub it away with some comet or something… but I was wrong. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles, Comet, and a couple other cleaners we [...]

Tonight on our way home from a party, Breanne couldn’t help but say my name, over and over and over and over again. Every time I’d respond, she’d just ignore me and say it again. And there was no stopping her. It was very confusing to me, though, because she still did [...]

Who knew she was so close!?! And don’t you just love Breanne cheering her on at the end? I know I sure do, even if she did kind of attack her… I think every time I need a good laugh, I’ll just watch this clip. It makes my heart [...]

My bathroom before:

And After!:

It’s a little brighter yellow than I expected it to be, but I really love it! Especially compared to the weird white/blue/gray that it was sloppily painted before. Thanks so much for your help, Cory and Katie!

So Breanne has been willing to say prayers by herself a lot lately, and while I always love listening to her pray, tonight’s prayer was especially touching.  It went something like this:

She really loved “driving” this bus at the mall… until some strange kid got on and actually put money in the thing to make it [...]

So Breanne regularly pretends to call people from her pretend phones.  Tonight was no different.  She had the xBox audio adapter (which has a button on it), and was pretending to call all of her grandmas.  She’d hand us the phone, and say “it’s gramma, she wan’ talk you!” so we’d ask her “which grandma?” [...]

So I keep getting tagged on memes I’ve already done, or that are similar to ones I’ve already done… so I’m not doing them again. However, I really liked reading this one on my sis-in-law’s blog, so I thought I’d do it. So here goes!
A- Available: Rarely… someone almost always needs my attention [...]

So I don’t know about you, but we had some great holidays this year.  We tried really hard to keep things small, and it made things so much nicer–so much less stress!  And, sadly, I don’t have a single picture of the girls opening presents–some great video, but I don’t know how to upload that [...]
