Day 75. Take Me Away.

Somedays are "don't get out of bed, kinda ones" and for SOME days, its o.k. Today is such a day. In my house right now...Cameron is studying science. Taylor is reading the Secret Garden. Emma is racing Mario and I, am dreaming of a few of my favorite places....

Oh, just being in this store inspires me. It is absolutely a true expression of what I love.

How about some exotic ness? Like Kauai? I  have been to the Caribbean and the beaches of Rio.  Can I tell you that Kauai is still my favorite? What's not to love?

 aaaahhh, and then there is the place where red bulls eye lives...enough said.

How about a Broadway Show? I'll see any production of anything and find something to love about it. There are so many to get lost in...I love 'em all. It's one of my greatest escapes.

And last but not least...Mickey and Minnie are always at their front door waiting for me...

see?

and now there is just 95 school days left until summer....

I'm Packing.

I am packing and will soon be moving to my new blog home, in a land called

Just A Night Owl.

Here is a sneak peek of my new logo.
My site will be up soon.

My husband designed a fantastic new space for me.

I love you Babe...

Thank you!

Sleep Like A Baby?

Where DOES that phrase come from?
It is just plain weird. 

Each of our kids have been SO different in their sleep patterns, right from the beginning. Cameron had to cry himself to sleep EVERY nap and bedtime for quite some time. Taylor was a fantastic sleeper from the beginning. She slept through the night for the first time, her 3rd week of life (o.k. she was 10.6 lbs at birth, that probably helped). Emma's sleeping has been nothing short of chaotic, just like her wonderful eclectic little personality. She is 5.5 and is still napping a solid 90 minutes a day. However, she suffers from frequent bad dreams at night. The screaming, sweating, waking up in a sheer panic kind. It breaks my heart. Her other sleep "issue" since baby-land is this...Looks peaceful enough, right?

Here it is just seconds later...

and seconds after that...

and a few more seconds after that...

This child is so rough in her sleep. She tosses and turns and thrashes all night long.

I find her in the most interesting positions ever.

See what I mean? Who can fall asleep like this?

Some things never change.

Bagel Baby.

When I see pictures like this my heart aches. Just look at those chubby little fingers. I miss theses days...and Noah's Bagels. This is Emma at 5 months old, crazy hair and sucking on a bagel that was almost bigger then her head....

I have a signature....now.

O.k. that is a whole lotta fun.
