a day in photos

Well it’s Tuesday and Jason is home (hooray!) so I’ve decided to make today the photoshoping and uploading of photos to be ordered day. It’s also going to be post office, birthday present shipping, and dusting day. In sorting through photos (ones I’ve taken, ones I’ve had to upload for work, etc…) I found some [...]

this is not a drill:

fall is coming. I repeat, fall is coming.
<insert me giddy and jumping up and down here>
Seriously, so EXCITED that the heat of summer is winding down, and that all the apple, pumpkin, and cooling weather of goodness of fall is coming. When I walked into target today (have not been in 2+ weeks!) they had [...]

what’s happening?

Some random happenings and good things in the house of Flaum:
* Alphabet stickers from pink paislee. LOVE this font and already used them twice. The SURPRISE to me? I used the butter yellow first. A surprise, but boy was I glad I had these!

* getting ready for the BIG crop tomorrow. Can’t wait to play and [...]

ma! MEATLOAF!

If you’ve seen Wedding Crashers then you know most likely what I’m referring to in the title. Will Farell yells this to his mom… and cracks me up. I only saw that movie once, but that line has stuck with me. So much so that when the girls are being super demanding (or when we’re [...]

7.5

tooth #6 coming through. In full size you can see it. She’s really into crinkling up her nose now- I totally dig it. Oh- and she has perma-crazy hair. Seriously. Wild hair child. It doesn’t bother me so I rarely wet it and try to make it behave. Nah- too many more fun things to [...]

manic mondays rule.

I think that manic, wild, insane mondays rock. Most of the time. Like today. I have 5 boxes (about 70lbs!) heading to St. Paul for next week’s event. woo. hoo. all that stuff was so harshing my serene and clean area!!! Glad to have it on it’s way to my final lead fiskateer event.
So- am [...]

more from memory lane…

All week I was trying to think what our Memorial Day weekend traditions were growing up, and I really could not remember anything specific. Then, last night as I was trying to fall asleep I realized why. There was ALWAYS a major horse show that I’d be at all weekend. That was the tradition, and [...]

I wish this was me…

345am, and awake. Have been since 130. Will be for rest of day.
It’s not insomnia, it’s motherhood. I have a mystery (tummy) sick miss E. Mystery is why… I’ll probably never know but I can stay up with her as she watches movies and feels bad and I can try to make it less bad [...]

it’s about me.

I have a husband that understands that sometimes a girl needs her birthday pie a few days early. That munching on slivers of caramel pecan silk supreme pie for days is the best birthday gift ever. Last night he went out and picked it up for me. awesome.

I am blessed to work with many great [...]
