This is my beautiful niece Ireland.
I will buy her lots of pink so I can satisfy my need for a daughter
and thereby hopefully stop dressing Lincoln up like girl . . .

Best Cookie Recipe Ever. EV.ER.

This really is the very best cookie recipe ever.
The instructions are absolutely absurd,
but again, best cookies EVER.

Next time I'd possibly add a little less by way of chocolate chips
and I'd also include some kind of nuts.

Did I mention they are the best cookies of.all.time?!

Enjoy!

Thank you to Jana for the heads up on the awesome recipe!

Hilarity.

Juggling.

Dear Friends,

Sorry I've been a delinquent blogger this last week.

Just take the picture above, and imagine . . .

she also has a laptop under her arm,

. . .

and a box full of helpless kittens under the other arm,

. . .

and a tiny bottle (to feed said kittens every 2 hours) propped between her teeth,

. . .

and a huge tattoo on her forehead that reads: "I HATE CATS,"

. . .

and a kid hanging on her right leg,

. . .

and a kid hanging on to her left leg,

. . .

and a kid sitting on her shoulders,

. . .

and yet ANOTHER kid warming in her oven,

. . .

and a cell phone perched between her shoulder and her ear,

. . .

and a check book and 4 million bills in her back pocket,

. . .

and a wooden spoon in her front pocket,

. . .

and a nervous breakdown simmering on the back burner.

once you've imagined all that,
you'll BEGIN to get a sense as to where I've been. :)

I love you.

Nat

coming soon.

Fireworks.

Dear Gavin,

Fireworks are way more fun with you than without you.

Love,

Once upon a time, he was in a band.
