Remember the super cool present I mentioned for Cody? Well it came and it’s pretty amazing. It’s a blanket made out of Cody’s (and some of my) old t-shirts. I have been saving them for years, knowing that I would someday do this for him. I finally found Project Repat who would make it theContinue reading “the company that made a huge mistake, but I still support.”

Cody’s post is titled “Long Distance Holiday Travel Doesn’t Have to be That Bad.” Mine is titled “Forget the Road Trip, Let’s Fly.” You see, we both wrote posts about holiday travel (sponsored by Citi)  with kids in tow over on Babble. Cody’s makes me sound like a sane and competent road trip warrior: CaseyContinue reading “his and hers takes on the long holiday road trip.”

Cody’s downward spiral of football depression has begun. Last Saturday was the last Saturday of College football until the bowl games begin. After this past Sunday there are only 4 regular season weeks, 3 playoff weeks and the Superbowl left. The twinkle in his eye that comes every September is fading fast and eight weeksContinue reading “how will your colors look next season? (a giveaway! sponsored by Tide.)”

Hi there. In case you’re here from that list where I am supposedly the number two mom blogger and you’re looking around wondering “Really? Her?” don’t worry, you’re not alone. While I am honored to be included in the list, I’ve spent the day and most of the night shaking my head thinking “What aContinue reading “listed. happy. trophy-less.”

Anyone who knows me really well will agree that I am creative, but certainly not crafty. I mean, I have the means to be crafty but certainly not the patience or organization. Which is why you won’t find a “crafty DIY” board on my Pinterest profile. However, you may find a “Pay someone else toContinue reading “the one about the time I got crafty.”

Let’s talk about my dad shall we? Remember last year when I posted about all his ornaments? Well, he’s selling them again this year and a few other things as well. He commissioned a California artist for exclusive rights to this hand painted tile of the Salt Lake Temple. Not into temples? You can getContinue reading “my dad makes doll beds better than I make…pretty much everything.”

Addie hasn’t had the same vim and vigor for Santa and Christmas this year. I started to suspect that someone at school told her that Santa was all a lie (I even know which little kid to blame) and Addie being Addie was crushed by the news yet locked up deep in her heart wasContinue reading “the age of not believing.”

“Hey Red, are you going to give me a Christmas list anytime soon?” “I have a Pinterest board. I mean, ignore the $3,200 ring (so pretty!)…but there’s some good stuff on there!” I’ve since employed Shireen who is essentially a female Cody with much nicer boobs to help him pick out any and all ChristmasContinue reading “stuff I bought, own and really super like.”

I was in Texas back in May talking with my darling friend Greis about sports when the topic of football came up. I told her how badly I wished I could send Cody and his best friend to a Denver game. The cost and logistics were overwhelming with his best friend living in Alaska soContinue reading “and cody wore orange. (sponsored by Tide)”
