It’s been said again and again that Stay-at-Home-Moms wear a lot of hats. We handle a lot and we do it because we love our children and our husbands, and because we like to sit and eat bon-bons while we watch our stories. Well it’s true; there are some days that I just don’t do […]
7:30 AM – Break and hide mom’s glasses. She’ll really get a laugh out of finding them under the bed after blindly searching for over an hour. I am awesome. 7:45 AM – Pour mouthwash into the dog’s kennel. Their dental hygiene is severely lacking. 7:50 AM – Unpack all of my dresser drawers. Mom […]
Remember me? It’s been a while. Life happened and I forgot about you. I know it’s sad and mean and I apologize. Guess what? I had a baby. Guess what else? She’s beautiful. Wanna know something else? I missed you. In other sad news, my oven is now ghetto-fied. It has to be lit via husband laying on […]
I feel like a school marm. Or maybe even a grown-up mom. Either way…it’s strange. What’s even more strange is that I found myself having a grand old-time. I made my daughter an “I Spy” album made up of her toys, clothes and everyday items. I saw the idea on I Can Teach My Child […]
Another Snowpocolypse is near! I will be sure to blog at least one thing of relevance this week. Cabin fever guarantees it! Until then don’t forget to check out the new page I’ve added up top. It’s called ‘Brinley Says’ because its filled with all the marvelously hilarious things my daughter comes up with. Go and […]
I know pointing fingers and blaming isn’t the most mature thing to do but then again neither is hiding the last few brownies from your husband. We’re all guilty of it at some point. With that said I blame the following for my lack of blogging this past week plus: – The Hunger Games series […]
There are a lot of things in life that can bring you a quick delight. A smile from Robert Pattinson, a shout out by your favorite blogger (yeah, that’s right, Joy the Baker totally twittered at me once), a good brownie, a really great quiet time with God, toddlers singing songs about pretzels to themselves, […]
Monster cookies. Ever heard of them? They have an alias of the Kitchen Sink cookie, because you put nearly every awesome ingredient except the kitchen sink in them. Monster cookies – what better cookie is there to be made with a toddler that’s about to turn three years old herself? This is the perfect recipe […]
We’re having another girl! Layla James is the decided name and we should be meeting her on or around May 2nd. She’s a cute, squirmy, little, sea squid at the moment and there really isn’t much I would rather do than stare at her cruddy photos. I love her so much already. My laptop charger […]
Sunday, November 28th I am thankful for my family. There is no one like a Barlow, I can guarantee you that. I have been blessed with the most awesome family ever, I can guarantee you that as well. I love my dad. He’s quirky, smart, loud, goofy, opinionated, funny and one of the most musically gifted […]
Bake. Write. Pray.
