Mean Mommy

By Dorothy On September 13, 2011 · 1 Comment

This blog post written by my good friend, Julie, made me think about a certain drawing I kept, scanned and have filed away in numerous locations so I never lose it. Unfortunately, I failed to write down when my daughter drew it or why, so I just did a search online to get info [...]

Extreme Tidying: Home Edition

By Dorothy On September 12, 2011 · 5 Comments

Photo: Does it annoy anyone else that these dolls are not in perfect order by height and are not spaced exactly right? Need to go rearrange them!

I think it’s pretty safe to say I am the opposite of a hoarder. If I can throw it out, recycle it [...]

Why Not? An Autumn Leaves Tree

By Dorothy On September 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Remember my Christmas tree turned Valentine tree? Well, it has also been the St. Patrick’s Day tree, the Easter tree and, after a few months of rest, it’s the autumn leaves tree! The leaves outside have barely started changing color but I couldn’t stand staring at the bare tree in the [...]

It’s a Miracle: Something FREE from American Girl! (It’s not a Canada Day T-shirt.)

By Dorothy On September 8, 2011 · 2 Comments

Holy guacamole … American Girl is giving something away for free. Unfortunately, it’s a game for your iPhone and not an actual doll.

If you have a daughter between the ages of 5 and 13 (or is it 2 and 32), you probably know exactly how much those dolls cost. It’s a lot. Not going [...]

I Want My H-E-B!

By Dorothy On September 8, 2011 · 1 Comment

It’s days like this that I wish I was still in Texas, posting on SugarLandMOM.com, and not writing about being the NewMOMontheBlock in Canada. The sun is shining and the temps are warm in Calgary.

An Apple Muffin a Day Keeps the House Blues Away

By Dorothy On September 6, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Do you love every single thing about your home? Probably not. Unless you just built the home of your dreams on an amazing lot with the best view in the world (Can I come visit if you did?), there are probably a few things you would change about your house if you could, even if [...]

Forgive Me, Dear Readers, For I Have Not Posted

By Dorothy On September 2, 2011 · 3 Comments

Forgive me Father everyone out there in the Blogosphere for I have sinned broken all the rules of blogging.

It has been more than eight weeks since my last confession post.

I am sorry for gossiping, yelling at my children and making grumpy faces at my husband failing to update this darn blog I started [...]
