  This sweet hummingbird made his debut as we walked out of Mass together. It was over too quickly. Oh, I miss them so much. They know me. I mean, really, really know me. They get me and S-T-I-L-L like me - with my quirks, my drama, my stories, and my over...

  So, we picked up Kelly at the airport - and went to eat dinner in Old Town Scottsdale at the Tortilla Factory... H-E-L-L-O potato cake. (Its claim to fame has something to do with Rachel Ray, blah, blah, blah - don't get me wrong - I LOVE Rachel Ray - I want to...

  Two of my college roommates came to stay with me the last few days. I was in heaven. Inspired by Carissa over at Brown Eyed Fox, their rooms were ready... Jen arrived Thursday night, so we did a little local sightseeing on Friday, while we waited for Kelly's...

  How do you make me happy on a Friday night? Oh yeah, some wedding cake shopping. So happy. When we moved to AZ, our friends Matt and Liz also moved. They are getting married this December, so wedding prep is in full swing. They are having a coffee theme - so...

  Can you feel it? All the excitement of the new school year has probably thrown some of us into a crazy world of schedules and obligations... As we struggle to regain balance and rest, remember to reach out to each other for help and encouragement ~ instead of...

  Cool Contraption, right?! But... what you can't see in this picture is that it is two stories high! See? She is so brave. Thank goodness she didn't get my fear of heights! The physics room... We spent two hours in there! The bed of nails... EEEK.   So, my...
