Where in the world is Holly?

November 13, 2008

I have been blogging for a year. Quite honestly, I was aimlessly blogging. I love the writing. I love the online friends. I love the online community. But, I was blogging really for no particular reason. I am a firm believer in things happen for a reason. I figured if I continued to do what [...]

It is not me, it is Jenn–LINK HERE NOW

November 12, 2008

Mr. Linky is below for posts related to a MISUNDERSTANDING. Today I am turning over the Nirvana to capable hands. VERY CAPABLE hands. It is Jenn from Juggling Life. She is a beacon of hope for those of us in the trenches of toddlerhood. She has made it through and still maintains a sense of [...]

This potluck is brought to you by the letter A

November 10, 2008

Hip, hip hoooooray…it is Monday!*re-evaluation of Holly’s caffeine intake inserted here* Today’s potluck features all the food of the world except for brussel sprouts. My friend (and fabulous author of Sleeping with Ward Cleaver) Jenny Gardiner has made the following request: Please, no brussels sprouts. I can’t even abide a no-thank you helping of them! [...]

Texas Safari

November 8, 2008

It was just down the road, but felt far away. Upon closer inspection, this land’s inhabitants appeared both strange and wonderful. Monkey business was common to both citizen and visitor. Eyes were open to rodents large and horses small. The adventure was great. Too great for just one day. More adventures can be found over [...]

THE call

November 7, 2008

Background information: I have been blogging for over a year now. While most of my friends and family have been subjected to reading this blog, one person has refused. That person is my husband, blog-Stedman. I got the phone call. The phone call I had been expecting for some time, but it still caught me [...]

It is not me, it is Connie–LINK HERE NOW

November 5, 2008

MR. LINKY is below! Please link to a marital tale (funny, nice and sweet tales preferred).

She linked to this post two weeks ago during the Nirvana funniest post extravaganza. Here is Connie [...]

POTUS ticket for family values

November 4, 2008

I went to vote. I took Ryan(6) with me. Usually I vote while dragging all three boys with me so just taking Ryan seemed like a treat. He was very interested in the process. We talked about the election and what was involved. I described how there were a lot of people in our country [...]

The grumpy potluck

November 3, 2008

GOOD MORNING!*sarcasm intended* I have just made it through the most dreaded time of the year… Yes, the “fall back” of Daylight Savings Time has officially taken over. Why does the words “fall back” strike fear in my soul? Because while I can set back my clocks and electronic equipment, I CANNOT set back my [...]

It was a very good day

November 1, 2008

This week we went to the Dallas Arboretum. It was my first visit. I was a little skeptical about the kid friendliness of what I assumed were formal gardens and some trees. I was wrong. It was a great day. It is our new favorite place to play. I took close to 400 pictures and [...]
