Yes, Ky is now sporting a bit of a pixie look. I was honestly ready to cut her hair anyhow but she hastened the process when she took two huge CHUNKS out of it herself with the surgical scissors from her bedroom drawer… Why? One might ask, does one keep surgical scissors in a 3 [...]
As I sat in the hospital I thought about how this New Year came with such a sense of hope. I guess one would think that maybe being admitted the second weekend of the year does not bode well for the rest of it but I beg to differ. I fail to believe that God [...]

Yes… it was another lively weekend in the life of the Schmidt family. Thursday was Ross’ official birthday even though his party is not until the end of the month. That night, we took the kids to Chick Fil A for a quick trip to get a bite to eat, have a cake and a [...]
I have to say, I LOVE me a mommy blog or two (or ten… heck lets be honest.. my google reader at least 20!) and all the time I get the question….. How do you FIND these deals? While I like to think that I, in general, divinely inspired, my coupon deals (blessed as they [...]
Yes…. the first snow of the season!!! It came EARLY this year! Normally, its well into January before we see any kind of accumulation. The kids were, of course, elated and DYING to go outside. We obliged since it was 30 something (thus their poorly dressed status!)….
Owen was Student of the Month in December. He was so happy… also happened that Chloe was the girl student that month… go figure! LOL Thanks Ms. Withrow for saving us hurt feelings and a spat on the bus! Owen had come home every single month complaining that he was not student of the month [...]
Yes, right up there with toothpaste and shampoo for me is Magazines. I had NEVER had the luxury of having magazines around the house except the free ones the companies give you when you are pregnant, UNTIL I started couponing! NOW…. my bathroom racks overflow! I can remember my friend Ali, saying “You PAY for [...]
Yes, it took a little, shall we say, debate, but Santa Claus WAS able to attend Owen’s school Christmas (I mean… “HOLIDAY”) party!!! Owen was so excited he could have peed himself. I don’t think he was as surprised as he was EXCITED.. I mean it is pretty cool that your Grandfather is Santa! It [...]
My mother is the queen of Thrift shops! Her new motto- why shop anywhere else?!! Since she has the time, she frequents several of these and MOST of our Christmas gifts came from there. MOST of those gifts were NEW IN THEIR PACKAGES. She even got me a massaging chair pad for my computer chair [...]
