Red, Hubs, and I had a great time at the Children's Museum of Atlanta this weekend. But, with all the new things to see and do, our cranky (hungry) toddler trying to wrench free from my direction ended up with a bonked noggin, right on one of the museum's "trees". We immediately got an ice … [Read more...]
Mommy & Me
Mommy & Me: Michael Halad
I have only known Michael for a few years - since about 2009, when I started to work with Lovett in Atlanta. Michael was the TD and guru of the technical theatre department. He and Jay (Head of Fine Arts) were the first people to welcome me to the school, to show me around and answer my … [Read more...]
Mommy & Me: Car Nap
When you refuse to take a nap, despite Daddy's best efforts, you fall asleep in a major way on the way to NeNe and Pop's house. Like, the limp sleep neck and drool all over the seat belt, having to be carried into the house and sleep for just five more minutes kind of nap. But … [Read more...]

Doo’s Mugshot
See that face right there? That face got up onto the couch with me, and promptly sent one large drop of drool spiraling into the enter key of my laptop. Which broke it, caused it not to respond, or reprogrammed it to only to do tricks for Snausages. Either way, it means my computer … [Read more...]
Mommy & Me Monday: Beach times 2013
Hubs and I got to spend a few short days at the beach with last weekend while Mom and Nana were kind enough to stay with Red. It was a trip that was panicked with work glaring at us from both the beginning and the end of vacation, with Hubs pulling some 6am-10:30am mornings full of work so he … [Read more...]
Mommy & Me: Playtime
I've always loved playplaces and moon bounces and giant jungle gyms. When I was a kid, these were always places that I could create a new world, different dimensions and characters during recess. The extension of structures became anything I wanted them to be! I hope that Red grows … [Read more...]
