‘Missa, why is your face blue?’
I didn’t want my nieces to see me when I looked like this. But without the stitches and the scabs, things are looking much less scary. I still look like I had an injury, but it’s not as horror-movie looking anymore. But, kids are observant and I have to share some adorable Mia-isms … my…

Weddings, babies, surgeries, life …
So, you wouldn’t know it by reading this blog, but other things have been going on besides the fact that I fell on my face and have spent the past few weeks recovering. Who knew?? So, in a nutshell, here’s some other things that have been going on: = My brother had back surgery. You…

The story of how an intruder (didn’t) catch me
So, one of the most wonderful silver linings about the past few weeks is how many visitors I have had. I know I’ve mentioned them to you all along, but it’s just been so touching. Colleen visited me *every day* in the hospital and some at home, as did my parents and Jeff wouldn’t leave…

When you’re 93, you can say whatever you want
I’ve talked briefly before about my 93-year-old grandmother’s quirky sayings. So has Kevin – if you need a refresher, you can find her talking about anatomy here, her playing dead in the hospital here, and trying to start a gang war here. Today I’ll tell you a one-liner she gave me during my nephew’s birthday…

100 degrees can be fun
My niece Mia decided to be the entrepreneur of the day at our yard sale this past weekend with her lemonade stand. She set up shop at the top of the driveway and she greeted every customer with a smile. She was savvy enough to offer the lemonade, wait for the confirmation, and then inform them it…

Cuddle time
My nieces came over last night for a slumber party. Mia likes to do “cuddle time” before bed which involves laying in bed and talking about her day and my day (or whoever she is cuddling with.) I told her about my day, then as she started talking about her day I had to stop…
