This afternoon after lunch my Tony and I along with the boys will celebrate the birth of Jesus with some Walmart cupcakes and songs. I can’t wait! He is the reason for our celebration.
As I look at my Sawyer, a mere 10 months, I think of Mary and how she must have marveled at her [...]

These are a few of my favorite things…Jesus

We’re wall to wall here, people!
I think in a previous post I made the statment that we had plenty of room here in our house. I was wrong. Add that 7 foot “Chevy Chase” leaning Christmas tree to our living room and there’s only one way in and one way out of that “box” called a living room! It seems [...]

These are a few of my favorite things…coffee
When I was pregnant with my first child coffee became one of those things on my list of “do not….”. I didn’t know I was pregnant at the time, but Thanksgiving morning of 2003 the smell of coffee caused an unpleasant “irk” in me – “How strange!” I thought. After having Sammy I tried to [...]

The Mouse ran away with the cheese
Well, since last report of declaring war on the mice, we have terminated (isn’t that a nicer word??) 9. Yes, 9. Ugh and Yuck! Tony dug under the cabinets again to see if there were any holes he missed and set 2 more traps. No mice the last two nights and I’ve heard no “mice [...]

Five Blind Mice
I have 2 thoughts. 1. Gross. 2. Sad. But not so sad as to let them stay. We have removed 5 mice from our home and still counting. I’m thinking they’ve been residing in the “inn” under the fridge. Those caught in the trap next to the fridge have gone looking for the ones who [...]

More Mousecapades of the Unashamed Mouse Family
Yes, there was actually a family of mice, three of them – a Momma, Daddy and Baby in our house. Just in case it was family of more than three, we’ll be setting some more traps today.
As I sat down Sunday night to read in the living room after all was quiet in the house, I [...]

These are a few of my favorite things….great customer service!
I’ve been searching (as best I can..) for the “perfect” Reindeer Stocking for Sawyer. He seems so like a Reindeer – cute and laid back, so easy going. Few things rock his boat. Sammy has a Snowman stocking – perfectly describes him; he’s either ready to roll or melting!
So today I took myself (without kids) [...]

An Unashamed Mouse
“The night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….except in the Stone house.” That’s the version of the Night Before Christmas that I’ve been reading to my children. I knew last week, even after all of mine, er, rather Tony’s hard work to limit the mouse [...]

These are a few of my favorite things…a Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation Christmas Tree!
This week I stopped by a friends house and she had a lovely and meaningful “Christmas Tree” that was a fig tree branch with about 3-4 branches. It was decorated with some green garland. It was simply lovely – or simple and lovely. Some day I will be able to get away with this approach!
