Every day this week – not exaggerating – Madison (see Belly Questions for an idea of what I am dealing with working with this girl everyday) has informed me that I have not blogged in 5 days…6 days…7 days…

Enough already!  Do you see this picture?  I am nesting!

Madison is trying to get preggers, as she calls it.  She has not yet gone through the Jekel/Hyde transformation of motherhood.  Which makes her completely unsympathetic to Continue Reading…

Techy Tuesday: ZipList – Best Grocery Shopping App

The grocery list.  It’s on the bulletin board in the kitchen.  Good place? NOT.  It is never with me!  I go to work, run late, need to shop on the way home and I NEVER HAVE THE LIST.  Ugh, I hate that list.  Or my sweet husband calls, knowing I am pressed for time and offers to stop at Publix, BUT, he wants me to READ him the ENTIRE list.  Ugh, I am pressed for time remember?

NO MORE!  This is the best.  My list is on my phone or his phone.  Or it is online and can be printed from any computer.  My list is everywhere I am.  Ahhh, I love my new list.

Better even than all that, is this:  I can look up a recipe from any of my favorite websites and press a button and ALL the ingredients download to my list.

The list, the list I now love my list! See, do you see my new list?  It’s on my phone, too.  Did I tell you how much I love my list?

You can love your list, too with ZipList!

It has been awhile since I updated you on our housing status post flood.  Today marks one month exactly and I am happy to report that we are no longer homeless.  We are not in our home but we have found a place to rent for the next 6-8 months.  It’s a condo on the Bayshore (we live in Tampa).  Today after work my daughter begged me to take a walk with her along the Bayshore.  I didn’t want to go.  I was…tired.

Today, I had to say goodbye to Spot.

He was such a fun bedtime friend to my children. I was hoping to introduce him to my grandchildren. He didn’t make it through Phase III of the flood – letting go of the unsalvageable (yes, that is mold) (see Phase I, Phase II for more details on the flood).

Do they still sell Spot books?
