  The Holiday Reports: A Princess and Her Castle
  Holidays, princess point of view (6)

  About a month before Christmas, as we sat around the kitchen table at mom’s enjoying a cup of Grandma’s best percolated coffee my mother glanced over her shoulder to check on the kids and then motioned me in for a whisper.  It would kill her to spoil the surprise, but she had just ordered some fabulous gift for our three year old and for some strange reason felt the need to inform me of her purchase.  “Oh yeah?”  I mumbled in soft tones “that’s cool. She’ll like that.”  Mom quickly ran up to her office and tap tapped down the ...

  Flaunt It Friday: The Best of 2007
  Flaunt It Fridays, life as it is (10)

  With the end of the year so close and the first days of 2008 fast approaching, it is high time that we spend a few moments remembering. As people with a calendar and what’s more, a mind, how could we possibly neglect to look back on what has been for the past twelve months and not give heed to all the good with which we have been blessed?! I remember at some point this fall (Thanksgiving week, I think) coming to the realization that true happiness is to be found in gratitude. While it is very simple to forget much of ...

  The Holiday Reports: The Dollhouse Take Two
  WWYD?, modern motherhood (6)

  Remember that fantastically wonderful dollhouse that Saint Nicholas delivered to our darling Princess for Christmas this year?  She loves it!  Unfortunately for those of our readers who were interested in catching a glimpse of the action, I was way too exhausted at 7:00am Christmas morning to get a photo of her tearing away at the paper.  We did not, however, miss the moment. It has been recorded in our hearts and minds where we will revel in it forever. Princess was so pleased with her gift that she sat there for a few minutes stunned, examining it with the most ...

  Play Date, Anyone?
  modern motherhood, photography (11)

  We certainly did luck out this Christmas season amidst the horror stricken panic strangling the minds of parents everywhere over the lead-paint recalls and what to do for Christmas. It turns out that the Princess had one very simple gift request on her list: a dollhouse! “Terrific!” we thought, “all wood, fantastically worry free and anti-China!” I was especially pleased, since a dollhouse was on the top of my list of age-appropriate toys as well. I hesitated for a bit, as I just wasn’t sure if she would be interested. Leave it to me to doubt the experts! Duh! A few ...

My sincere apologies.  We'll be up and running again by next Friday, no doubt. Hey, but feel free to flaunt anything else you'd like to and link. The Management
