Today's questions...1 - Why did you start blogging?
2 - Who's the one blog friend that you would want to meet most in "real life"?
3 - Why are you always concerned with losing that "extra 10 pounds" when chances are your husband/boyfriend/friends tell you that you look just fine the ... Continue reading ...

Beware: Pics will likely flow like wine in the coming days!Before I get to the Mama M-ness of the day, I want to let you all know that I'm organizing a TEXAS BLOG PARTY to be held in south Texas (likely Victoria, possibly Corpus Christi - depending on number of attendees and venue options) on JULY 10TH.

Lost
I realize that not all my readers are Lost freaks the way some of us are. I'm not judging you no-Lost watching peeps. I got nothin' but love for ya!So, before I get to the Lostapalooza-ness of the day...I spent my Tuesday proofing out pics that hubby took at the baptism we attended this past weekend. He got some really amazing shots and that always makes proofing them out all the more fun. I was so happy with how they turned out, I wanted to share a few. (Yes, Sam, then I'll do my Lost stuff!...

Helloooooooooooooo, Flip Flops!
Can I get a witness?Oh, it was such a gorgeous weekend!Obviously, it was nice enough for the flip flops to come flying out. I think I wore 6 different pair this weekend, I was so excited to wear them. Tank tops, bathing suits, sunglasses, beach towels and barefeet...they all got some play this weekend. 
The weekend started with some haircut action. Both the kids got in the Daddy barber chair and got a much needed trim. Snappy wound up with her first actual "hairs... Continue reading ...
Friday, she is upon us. This weekend looks to be a pretty darn good one. I've spent the week painting picture frames, lamps and other things and now I'm all geared up to see what else I can redo for free this weekend! We've got some fun family stuff to do (albeit, way too early for me on Saturday morning) and the weather is going to be sah-weet all weekend! (except I've now jinxed it) I've got so much that I hope to get done this weekend, I'm placing bets on not getting any of it done! Alrigh...

Before I was a mother, I was fearless.
Before I had my son, I was headed down a dark path.
Before I married my husband, I didn't know what marriage meant.
Before I had my daughter, I didn't know what it was like to deal with me.
Before I die, I want to live simply and travel a lot.
Before I was a blogger, I had no idea how much time I could spend on the computer.
Or how many friendships I could gain.
Before I go to bed, I obsessively check the doors and the stove.
Before I had a cell phone, I was fi... Continue reading ...

I loved this episode. I've said before that I've always liked Ben. I know, I know. It's just such a great character though. The turmoil, the choices... Continue reading ...

She picks up the never ending to do list. Tiptoeing through the house before her family wakes, she pulls a sippy cup from one bed and quietly photographs one of the sleeping children. After a whirlwind of breakfast and dressing (neither of which she gets to do for herself), an embarrassment at the hands of the got-it-all-together mom and sending the family off to their day, she sits down with a few minutes to blog.Sound like your life already?Within the first few minutes of the movie Motherho...

You know, if it wasn't for Mama M., I wouldn't have blogged as much this week. She's been my own personal blogging cattle prod for the past few days! Ah, Mama M. This procrastinating, blank-mind-momma thanks you very much! Isn't it funny how my procrastinating tool (blogging) has suddenly become something that I procrastinate?! But I digress. (Or am I procrastinating?)It's Friday. And that can only mean one thing. Sloppy Joe Day at the county jail?Nope.It's time for Mama M.'s 5 Question Frida... Continue reading ...

I'm proud to say that I'm a pretty good cook. My momma taught me well!She did. My stepmom raised us in a home where we always had a wonderful dinner every night, usually around the same time every day. Not that she ever really sat me down to say "this is how you cook" but, watching someone come up with different recipes (that she always called concoctions) and eating the yummy food every night really helped me to learn peripherally. Even the nights that she really took the night off from cook... Continue reading ...

Lions and Tigers and Bears!Um...Okay...Not quite.But,There were a couple of tigers at the zoo we visited this weekend!
So, how about...
Tigers and Foxes and Otters! Oh my!
On Saturday we decided to take an impromptu trip to my hometown. It's an hour away from where we live now and it's got a cute little zoo that I used to love when I was a kid. It's nice and small. Small enough to do the whole thing in 30 minutes if you want to. They've got some great exhibits and overall The Texas Zoo in Victor... Continue reading ...
