New York Getaway

by Chris on January 20, 2012

A few days ago, my brother (who lives in California) called me and said, “Hey, I’m in New York for a few weeks for work. Why don’t you get a plane ticket and come visit me?”

My non-thinking self: “Heck yeah! I’ll be there in ten minutes!”

My thinking (and true) self: “I don’t know…”

“What if I die in a plane crash?”

“Who will take care of my kids?”

“Who will make sure they wear clothes that fit them and shoes that match their outfits?”

Well, my non—thinking self won. My best friend assured me that the evil thing we call “mom guilt” had snuck up on me, and I needed to go. And have FUN.

I Love New York

I’m still stressing just a bit (it’s what I do), but I’m hoping to be fully immersed in all things New York by tomorrow with no worries to hold me back!

So I’ll be leaving these little love nuggets…

and really wishing this guy would be holding my hand on the plane. :)

While I’m certainly more than excited to see this skyline, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that mean ol’ mom guilt is always nagging at me. That’s normal, right?

Laundry Room Mood Board

01.18.2012

Woops. Did the weekend end already? Sorry about that. I found myself telling someone the other day that this is a busy time of year for me. I then realized that I say that about six times a year. I should probably come to terms with the fact that I’m just busy. I’ve got parent/teacher [...]

Changes and Appreciation

01.13.2012

You may have noticed that I have decided to let go of Show and Share Day. My apologies. It wasn’t intended initially, but I started to enjoy that I didn’t have to worry about doing it on Thursday night. I didn’t feel like I was able to do the participants justice, and it was getting [...]

Nester is having a House Goals party, and it was just what I needed to start mapping out my plan for 2012. Since this post alone took me about three hours to write, I can only imagine how long the projects themselves will take. We’ll see. 1. That darn master bedroom. It’s a thorn in [...]

Winter Decorating

As much as I love Christmas, I sure do love how clean the house looks after all the decorations are gone. However, it can lead to a dilemma. How do you decorate? What do you use if you like to add decor to match the season? Well, if you live in Michigan you just decorate [...]

Remodeled Fireplace

I went back home for Christmas Eve to visit my family—otherwise known as my mom and my Grandpa. Small holiday gatherings for us, but well worth the drive home. I walked into my mom’s house, took about 15 pictures, and then my camera died. Or did it? Apparently it “rolled off the couch while I [...]

How to Coexist with Dogs

How’s that for a title, eh? When we first got Maximus, I asked my students who have dogs how their moms (‘cause let’s be honest here) keep their houses from smelling like dog. The universal answer? “Yeah, our house just smells like dog.” Nooooooooo! As much as I did NOT want to take on the [...]

While talking with my husband the other day, he said to me, “2012 is gonna be our year, baby!” I believe him for two reasons. 1. I trust him. 2. He said it with an exclamation mark. Everything said with an exclamation mark comes true, right? Not one to dismiss his enthusiasm for the pending [...]
