Vacation, Sickness, Relay and Technical Difficulties

Yeah, I know that is a long title…LOL, but the past couple of weeks have been filled with craziness…

Vacation:

We spent a week in California for a family reunion. We were camping along the northern coast (up near Fort Bragg) of the state, and before you think I enjoyed hours of sun and sand…think again. The [...]



California, Here We Come!

We are headed off for fun in the sun in California for the next week. Sticky Fingerprints will be on vacation until the 9th (unless I can beg the use of someone’s computer while I am gone).  Look for photos of the family enjoying the Pacific Ocean, some great reviews and a couple giveaways when [...]



Summer blues

In May I could NOT wait for summer to arrive. Freedom from schedules, freedom from homework, freedom…ahh, it sounded so wonderful. Then  summer arrived, and with it came all 5 of my children home at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my children, it’s just that they are all young (oldest is [...]

One event this week was my 32nd birthday. Man, that sounds so old. I know, [...]

As for the [...]



Mickey Mouse and Manners

Conversation between #4 and me a week or so ago:

Me: #4, what’s the magic word? (I was looking for Thank You, as I had just given him something he had asked for)

#4: Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!

Me: That is the Magic word that makes the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse appear, but what is the other Magic Word?

#4: [...]



Spring Break

My children began their spring break yesterday. We spend most of the day recovering from the food and candy overload of the previous day. Honestly, we had a wonderful Easter. The children woke to find their hidden baskets and eggs filled with little treasures.  Following the hunt we enjoyed a breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls, [...]
