You've Gotta Get One Of These
Saturday was a beautiful fall day in Central Indiana, and we spent every minute of it outside at my stepdad's wooded lake property just south of Rockville, Indiana . The famous Covered Bridge Festival was going on at the same time, but we didn't...

Everyone should have a Monster Trike.

39 Years of Monday Night Football ... and me
39 years ago tonight, Monday Night Football was born, weaving itself into the fabric of Americana like no other weekly sports broadcast before or since. The Browns defeated the Jets back then, clinching the victory by intercepting Broadway Joe in the...

Plenty of Time to Practice with Scissors
Steven has made 5 trips around the sun today. That long, long (long) day half a decade ago seems like a distant dream and yesterday all at once. You may remember that Steven was denied entry to the public school due to some kind of scissor-scandal , but...

Spokesmodel
Impromptu cell phone pic taken at the local McDonald's. I can almost recall when ice cream gave me so much joy. I think it was last week.

Scissors and August Birthdays
My latest parenting quandary, as the mom of a summer baby, has been the age-old "to kindergarten...or not to kindergarten." Back in April I made a command decision, with help from daycare providers, grandparents and teacher-friends, that Steven...

Still a Little Young for In-Ear Headphones
Since I'm on vacation this week, you're stuck with photos from home. This is one of Steven singing loudly along with the " Hot Dog " song from Mickey Mouse Club. And no, I did not set this up. He manages these weird poses all by himself...

Overcoming Fear
If you have traveled through Hamilton Co. Indiana this month, you have likely seen a big orange and yellow mass in the sky. This semi-permanent fixture (through Halloween, anyway) is the latest attraction at one of my favorite places - Conner Prairie...

The Ultimate Water Cooler
Today was a freakishly busy day...so much so that I just realized I didn't post my daily photo. And it's almost 8 pm. As my brother would've said years ago, "Smooth move, ex-lax!" So here I am at home, having just finished mowing...

Open Your Eyes
Yesterday we were lucky enough to spot what I later discovered to be a circumhorizontal arc , which lasted for all of 5 minutes. It felt like a gift from Mother Nature herself on a day just for mothers. This is not my photo (can you believe I was without...

3D
It isn't very often I see a movie on opening weekend, but with the early spring snow putting a damper on outdoor activities yesterday, we decided to check out the only kid-friendly movie playing - Monsters vs. Aliens . The ticket price was an alarming...

What was your first Heritage experience?
I'm home today with a sick kid, and although he's doing much better, I can't really say the same for myself. Nothing like spending the entire night cleaning up after an hourly "cookie-toss." And I mean hourly. From 10pm to 7am. I...

Cold Snap Hysteria
It's currently -6 degrees outside my window, having dropped almost 30 degrees since last night. I can't complain though -- I'm snug as a bug, and obviously very lucky in the grand scheme. But I will complain later when I'm making the trek...

Mac 'n' Cheese
So I was going to post a photo of my RVX 42 s with the Christmas tree in the foreground, to you know, keep it "Klipsch-y," but while skimming through my photos, I found this, which was snapped only to test the lighting in the room. I feel compelled...

Genetics
It amazes me how traits can get passed down from generation to generation, virtually unchanged. Years ago, my mom told me that she believes I have an "old soul." At the time I wasn't sure what she meant, but I think I understand now. It's...
