My littlest of birds has spread her wings and left the home nest. Four years ago  I knew this day would come sooner than I wanted it to. Off to Preschool she went this morning with tight pig tails on either side and a belly full of excitement and nerves (or maybe that was just me).  It is funny how parenting works. One day you can't put them to bed at night fast enough or pawn them off to the

(Jewels, AKA "Humper Dog") It all started a few months back. Our, now 5mon old English Bulldog Jewels, started using her right to"sexually mature". I was her first victim. She came up to me, smelled my leg and then started at it. I YELLED to my husband, "Oh my God, she's humping my leg." All he could do is laugh and say, better you than me. A few days later she had her puppy shots at the Vet.

I know part of the reason that God gave me my son was to put spontanious moments of laughter into my life without notice. His childlike innocense of the world keeps me grounded and reminds me how to keep it simple myself. Last night him and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and a video of a wedding came on. He turned to me and asked,    "Mom, how old do you have to be to get married?" At

We made it back!! Our trip was so amazing and everything just blew our minds. I think my favorite day was when I got to swim with a sea turtle. It was so surreal. The beauty over there can't be described in words or even captured on a camera. The locals are cool, calm and full of stories. We came back relaxed and refreshed. I still think we are on island time. Everything is moving slower, we let

Tomorrow morning we'll be leaving for Hawaii for my extended 30th birthday fun. As I was packing all my flip flops to go, I can across this video sent by a friend. I couldn't resist posting it. It reminded me : 1-" To choose your battles'"2- "Never let your flip flop get the best of you"3-  " If my friend was in this situation, I would totally be taking video too." http://www.youtube.com/

Well, he did it. The new fridge is in and the new tower cabinets are in the old fridge spot. He still has to do a few more adjustments to finish and paint but my handy hubby finished before our Hawaii trip on Friday. Now, he can relax with me on the Big Island.

Yesterday morning I won't up to a conversation that I really wasn't ready for at 6:30 am.  My husband and son (Little B) were in the kitchen and here is how it went: Little B: "Dad the batthroom door was locked when I woke up in the night to go pee." Husband: "Why was the bathroom door locked? Who locked it?" Little B: " I dunno. I really had to go pee though." Husband: (the million dollar

My new passionate adventure in photography has begun. I am so excited about some of the shots that I got (being a newbie and all) I had to share with everyone. I was given the opportunity to have a newborn session with the sweetest pumpkin. Little Miss L was 14 days old. She stayed awake the whole time only to poop out at the very end. Her mom couldn't believe how awake she was. It must be a

So yesterday was my 30th birthday. Yes, as I see it I am officially a grown-up and now have no excuses and saying things like,   "I didn't know, I'm only in my twenties...." Won't work for me anymore. But don't hold me to that. We had planned a really great day at the lake with all my family. It was going to be a beautiful Easter/Birthday celebration.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Little G. Who doesn't love to blow bubbles? If you dont' there is something really wrong with you...hee....heee!!  I'm pretty sure yoga is to us as bubbles are to her. It is something she can do for hours. Not bad for $1.00, its's way cheaper than paying for a babysitter.

2) What affirmation makes you feel better? I think my favorite affirmation that I say is the all-time golden rule........ "Do onto others as you would want them to do onto you." You know things like  if you don't want to step in gum, don't throw it out the window, if you hit someone expect to be hit back HARDER and if you must give someone the "finger" in traffic-do it with a smile for God's

We have had her for 4 days now and we are just smitten with her. A few sleepless nights of her whinning, changing the newspaper floor a million times and telling Little G to stop picking her up by the neck... I think we are all settling in

He never thought in his lifetime he would have one little girl, now he will have two. In a few weeks we will be bringing home our baby bully.

Sometimes I pretend to be something I'm not. I'll try and cook a really fancy meal and eat off the "good dishes" like a chef on an episode of the Food Network, or I'll be America's Next Top Model and put on my best outfit and strut my stuff around the house and bitch and complain how my butt giggles too much in my pleather leather pants.

Woke up this morning and realized it was December 1st. Where did October and November go? I'm still eating left over Halloween candy and deciding how many ways to used left over turkey and now I'm supposed to drink eggnog (which I don't drink by the way), suck on candy canes, and bust out my tacky Christmas sweaters, what the heck?  I couldn't help it...this photo is hillarious.

Tis' the season to be thankful.  Typically, I am thankful for a lot of things in my life, family, husband, food, the internet, etc...

Thats right, tomorrow is our community garage sale. The culture phenomenon that amazes me. I get to set out all the CRAP I have that I don't want and someone, somewhere out there,WANTS it. They will actually  pay ME for it and wake up at O'Dark -Thirty to find it. Now- how is that not amazing? I can't feel totally guilt free in saying that because, YES, I too, have bought CRAP at a garage sale.

Growing up my parents found it quite appropriate to "make the punishment fit the crime." Lets get this straight I was not a bad kid, in fact I would have considered myself a rule follower, a goody too-shoos and of course a first born personality. I was not out to "test" my parents or bend the rules or whatever else they thought I was up too. However, there were situations when apparently I

Then, pass the challenge along to other AMAZING, Theta Moms (see below). Of course as a Theta Mom , I would take on any challenge given to me, so here it goes:1. Little B. was born 6 weeks early.

This morning I sat on the couch listening to my son read to me before school. As I sat there listening to him, I couldn't help but smile at this amazing moment of him reading. I only had to wait 7 years, but it has been worth it and I look forward to it every time.Of course this moment brought up other moments in my life that I look forward to. So, in light of Friday, the day that most everyone

This week is Spirit Week at Little B's school and today was the all time favorite, "NERD DAY." It will probably be one of the only times in my kids life that if he gets called a nerd at school today he'll be OK with it. Let's just hope they're not giving wedgies to go along with the theme. I'm proud to say that this Mom digs her nerd. I thought he looked so cute in his glasses, parted hair and

I look in my mirror everyday. Whether it is to make sure my ponytail is straight, brushing my teeth or checking for boogers (hey- we all do it). I do it so quickly without any real thought that I don't REALLY look in the mirror at myself. If I REALLY looked in the mirror here's what I would see: A tiny horizontal scar left over my eye from when I was 10yrs old that reminds me everyday to WATCH

Having no prior knowledge of what I will be releasing, I thought it would be fun to list a few of my old beliefs, you never know it might help me prepare....I used to believe that my hair would never turn grey because it's blonde (false, as my hair lady showed me one this year)I used to

Fall was not always my favorite season. I was in love with Spring. The flowers blooming, the weather in the 70's and getting to wear shorts again. However, things changed and Spring and I drifted apart like some love affairs do. And along came Fall. Fall was raging with colors, smelled like spices and gave me chills. How could I resist its charm. It also brought a few things to the table to

When I was in elementary school my most vivid memory was lunch time. Who's wasn't??? I remember walking to the cafeteria with my red, Rainbow Bright (ROCK ON!), lunch box in my hand. My memory wasn't about the food or the socializing with my friends, or the fact that it always seemed to smell like fish in there, even though they were serving spagetti or grilled cheese sandwiches. Hmmm.........No,

Today is typically Friends Day-Wednesday, but I am slacking because of the long weekend. A weekend that consisted of no kids, catching up on our Netflix movies, sushi and sake, eating carmel apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and spending some much needed time with the hubby (wink,wink)!!So, I am slowly stepping back into my reality and Friends Day-Wednesday will continue starting next

Today is my favorite father-in-laws birthday.  In honor of his day I thought I would come up with my top 5 favorite things about him: 5.  He organizes his canned food and spices in his kitchen cabinets. 4.  He makes a killer filet! 3.  He never shows how upset he really is when I constantly run over his rosemary bush when backing out of his driveway. 2.  We can always get a free meal from him on

This morning the kids left on a 4 day-weekend trip with their Grams and Papa. Destination....the beach!There will be no lunches to make, no taxi services to full-fill, no naps to schedule and no arguing to referee. What's a mom to do with 4 days off?Do I catch up on a book I have been setting aside?Go see an old friend for some girl time?Watch a movie with my husband with no interruptions?How

You never know what your little ones are doing behind closed doors. Today, a fast one was pulled on me, by none other than my three year old daughter (little G). It was time for me to wake her up from her nap she was taking so that we could go pick up little B from school. After I went in to wake her, it went something like this:Me: "Oh, your awake, well let's get up so we can go get brother

The month of September always reminds me of the beginning of fall/autumn and the end to the desert heat. Well, maybe not an end because it was still 108 degrees today, but a girl can dream. Being born and raised in this Arizona desert I was always envious of those who lived where the changing of the seasons were noticed, the days became shorter,the temperature became crisp and the greenery of

Poor Little B. he has been sick this weekend from what I believe is the stomach bug. I picked him up on Friday from school, as he was getting in the car he said his tummy hurt because he ate a "bad popsicle." I thought he might just be over-heated because of the 113 degree high today.Well, an hour after getting home I heard that sound that every moms hates to hear, coming from his bedroom. That

There are so many moments in my life I would like to freeze in time, forever. They are tiny moments but still significant. The expression on my kids face when they ride their bikes and feel that freedom in the air. The ponder they shown in their eyes when they find a "cool bug" in the backyard and wonder how it got there. The times I see my very best girlfriends play with their kids, even when

Yesterday, we ventured out to a little place called Imagination Ave with some of our friends. This is such a cool find for any mom in Phoenix or visiting. As you can see below, it is built like a mini town with a school house, movie theater, doctors office, The Home Depot and even an upstairs mini jail (which little G. thought was neat- God help us if she feels the same when she's older).Check

Did you ever say something and reflect back later to realize, HOLY CRAP, did that really come out of my mouth? I'm not talking about the "stick foot in mouth" moments. I'm talking about things you have said to your kids, your grandkids, your friends kids that you never thought you would hear coming out of your mouth.In the 8 years of my 'mammahood' I have recalled some of these moments.

A friend sent me an e-mail the other day titled "5 min Cake." I opened it to find a VERY SIMPLE recipe for a chocolate cake you can make in a coffee mug that takes less than 5 minutes! Shut the front door, right?

Thank you everyone for your wonderful thoughts and prayers you sent. The patient (Mr. B) is doing well and resting after his knee surgery this afternoon. A 1/2 hr procedure and 1 1/2 in recovery and he was fixed like new.So......I wasn't going to be mean and "expose" Mr. B to another, "hold still honey let me take a picture for the blog" moment, but the oportunity came knocking when in the pre-op

Well, tomorrow is the big day! Mr. B will be having his arthroscopic knee surgery at 10:15am.It was a year and a half ago that he had the same procedure on his other knee. Being that his job has him up and down on his knees all day and in six years he'll be 40 (I love to give him crap about that), body parts don't work the way they used to when he was in his twenties- like me (wink, wink)!So,

This past weekend we decided last minute to beat the heat and head up to Flagstaff for some much needed cool weather. Of course the weather was great, the air was fresh and there were so many photo ops I had to take with my new camera!!!!While we were there we went up to Snowbowl and rode the Skyride lift to the top of the peak, where it was a brisk 59 degrees. It was the perfect weekend

It's that time again... ......back to school for little B. As you can tell in the posted picture, he was not too thrilled for this new educational experience in first grade. Amongst the chaotic morning of getting up early, making lunches, and reminding myself to put a bra on before I walked out the door(you moms know what I'm talking about), I totally forgot to take his picture, when a slight

That time has come again, last night, little S. left to go back home from his summer visit with us. Having three little B's in the summer is always an experience. They say after three it doesn't matter how many kids you add, and I would have to fully agree. Every evening there seemed to be an Ultimate Fighter Championship tournament in the living room, what was once our kitchen was now turned

We saw this clip the other day on the evening news that was the featured "Video of the Day!" A 7yr old boy who didn't want to go to Sunday Church, so he stole his fathers car and took a joy ride. Mr. B and I couldn't help but laugh at the situation we were watching. Especially, the part of his motive behind it all. I have to say my kids have tried a whole bunch of things to get out of going

At the B. household we have gone through many of pets, as some of you know.First, we started small with fish.They kept jumping to their death, so we thought....why bother. Next, we tried our pet skills with dogs. We adopted a sweet black lab named Trinity. All was going well and we thought she needed a pal, so we got another black lab named Gracie (aka the sh** eater). That was a huge mistake.

Every Wednesday this summer was swim day at little T. and baby D.'s house. The kids had so much fun and this was the year that little B. learned to swim (arm strokes and all), little G. finally put her face in the water and S. could do a full front flip.Thank you to their Auntie S for letting us use her pool and feeding us yummy snacks. Thank you to their Auntie K. who taught little B to jump off

As most of you know I really enjoy taking pictures. So when I am driving along and see a cool photo op, I take advantage of it (even if it is behind your neighborhood Walmart). These were some old train tracks and nuts and bolts that were no longer in use, BUT very useful to me. I love the one of S. and G. Sending Love,Mamma B

The kiddos had so much fun, walking through the "Noodle Forest", playing house/kitchen, racing cars made of PVC, and of course being allowed to ride bikes inside!!

We celebrated his birthday this weekend with a friend sleepover night and a trip to the newest water park. Tonight, his birthday dinner of choice is, chicken chili soup and chocolate ice cream cake.Sending Love,Mamma B

My friend Brooke has started an on-line baby boutique. I ordered some hair clips from her for little G and got them in the mail yesterday. They are so cute I just had to give her new store a plug. She has many other custom handmade items that she offers, so check her out!These are the clips that I had her make for little G. She loves them and tells me how pretty she is in them. How girly of her,
