Aiden, dear snoogie boogie, loves to help me cook! His favorite cooking activities are cutting veggies and shaking spices. He is such a big helper! Yesterday we were cooking Jambalaya.

Well, the floors finally dried. Now that took a long time! We have some young renters and everyone is happy! The Js have settled-in in Bay St. Louis, just a few blocks from the beach.

Chocolate Toffee Caramel Crunch Cake Well, my mother-in-law celebrated her 70th birthday this month. Now, darn it. Why does that make me feel old? Okay, okay, I won’t go there again.

Growing up or Growin’ old

By Old Mom | Published: September 4, 2009
Once upon a time, my world revolved around pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and all those wonderful, related subjects! I was recently reminded of how my world has changed. The change came along oh, so gradually sneaking up behind me….but also in the blink of an eye! Now just how is that possible? One minute I am [...]

By New Mom | Published: April 20, 2009
The old me purchased most clothing at Wal-Mart, Target, Stein-Mart etc. Decent clothes; cute, comfy, fashionable enough plus, I wouldn’t have a coronary if I ruined something. Since I started working part time at Repeat Street, one of Mississippi’s largest consignment shops, I tend to buy my clothes there. I get almost (and sometimes) brand new [...]

“It is a delightfully blustery day”- said Pooh

By New Mom | Published: July 14, 2008
{April 10, 2008} Aiden is lying asleep on the sofa next to me with a full tummy, so I suppose I should write something. I’m new to blogging so we’ll see how this goes. What began as a perfectly normal blustery day last week, turned into a day full of surprises. Getting dressed Thursday morning, I thought how [...]
