45 years and counting…

Today is a big day. It’s the Super Bowl. But, it’s also my parents’ 45th anniversary, which is weird since I still think of them as in their mid-fifties and I know they weren’t ten when they got married. I should probably write a post that really recognizes this accomplishment by sharing all the … Continue reading →

Look ma, no hands!

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about wirelessly transferring my photographs from my DSLR camera to Dropbox using an Eye-Fi card. At the time I thought it was a great idea but hadn’t used it for very long. I loved the concept of not having to hook my camera up to my computer, and then … Continue reading →

The Motherhood Manual: Why you need to rush out and buy some techno music

Do you wake him so he will be on a regular feeding schedule, or do you “never wake a sleeping baby” (see chapter on knockers to determine if you have a high enough pain threshold)? In the … Continue reading →

Tech or trek: on ice

I’m still motivated to get us out away from our tech on the weekends, so today we did a little walk along the lake in search of fresh air and prettiness amongst the brown. The boys (all 4 of them) had fun playing on the ice. I liked taking pictures of the little red and … Continue reading →

Just Life…

First off, I’m happy to see that I am not related to all the people who have “liked” the Twyste Facebook page. If I am related to you and you liked the page, that still makes me happy; but it’s nice to see some others filling in too! On to today, though… I’ve been going … Continue reading →

Who’s cracking you up?
