- This is the fun week where I buy the supplies and do trial runs of my holiday recipes. Glad to have more time this year. #
- Cannon is getting so big so fast. I barely remember how tiny he was when he was born. And at 8 lb 14 oz, he wasn't even that tiny. #
- My husband took the Macbook Pro with him to work today, leaving me with only the iPad. Boo. #firstworldproblems #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 14: for baby giggles and grins. They make even the hardest days fade away into the sea of forgetfulness. #
- Hollister is the most obnoxious store in all the land. #
- Dudes. Glass etching cream is expensive. I hope it works well. #
- Test etching was a success!! http://t.co/7YVNkAe2 #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 15: for smartphones. Seriously, I would be lost without my phone. And I don't even like talking to people on it. #
- Cole: "I want a critter to eat." Fresh out, son, but we did just stock up on varmint at the Kroger. Eat up. #
- It really amuses me when "professional" bloggers use the wrong words in a sentence. Same sound, different spelling, and 100% wrong. #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 16: for my sweet-spirited 2-year old. Cole is so kind and polite. He brings joy to everyone he meets. I love him so. #
- Turkeys for the turkeys in Cole's class. http://t.co/SZ18SHfi #
- I blinked and all of a sudden my baby was 2 months old. What's that all about? #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 17: for Pinterest. Yes, seriously. It has given me tons of inspiration and ideas for things I will actually do. #
- @verybloggybeth It's crazy how fast it goes by. :( #
- Great customer service from Kelly at @Joggermom. That's why I keep going back. :-) #
- I forgot how much phantom kicks freak me out. #
- Peppermint hot chocolate FTW. First @Starbucks Christmas cup of the season, too. Now, let's get that tree up. #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 18: for Cole's school and teachers. He is thriving and well taken care of by people we trust, and he loves it there. #
- I sing Party Rock Anthem to Cannon, but I replace "Party Rock" with his name. Cannon Burks is in the hooouuuse toniiiiiight... #
- New post: For your nomming enjoyment... http://t.co/vR6s7MYv #
- For your nomming enjoyment… http://t.co/qv9aLAOU #
- Cole's musical potty keeps going off. COLE IS STILL ASLEEP. Seems we have a small ghost with an overactive bladder. #
- 30 Days of Thanks! Day 19: for a 2-year old who slept until 9 this morning. A nice change of pace from our usual wake-up time. #
Please vote for me. I'll love you forever.
