  • Anything but…

    Walking through TJMax today with Tatie. Tatie: Mom my feet hurt. Me: Are you okay honey? Tatie: Yeah, I can stand it …. I can stand anything. *long pause* Tatie: Well, anything but lava. I love that of all the places she could draw a line,  she draws it at LAVA!  hahahaha!  My daughter is […]

  • TSA stole my spray starch

    Todd is on another business trip this week.  I took him to the airport bright and early Sunday morning (8am) to board a plane for Madison, Wisconsin.   What’s in Madison you ask?  A PR conference for the farming industry and… fungal ants.   When he got off the plane he was disappointed to find that […]

  • Travel Prep

    We are so excited to be going to Marquette, MI this weekend for my cousin Brian’s wedding!  Okay, so I am excited about the wedding.  Not so much the travel distance.  My Aunt has rented a charter bus and is driving us all the 14 hour bus trip up there.  O_O  But we are excited […]

  • Girls Camp Highlights

    Day 1: We got there. We set up.  Todd was our hero. They ripped a tent.  Ate lunch.  Then made cool metal necklaces. The Bishopric brought pizza.  They were late.  And the s’mores were good. Everyone in bed on time.  We cheered. Then came the rain. And the screaming. 9 crowded in our tent.  Finally […]

  • Food for an Army

    Every wonder how much food it takes to feed 40 people for 3 days?  This much (not including what is in the fridge)! Wish me luck!  The girls and I head off bright and early this morning for Girls Camp 2010!  Its Sydney’s first year and I am hoping for a good one!  I am […]

  • The many hats of Tatie Bright

    As a Mother I wear many hats.  I am a chauffeur, chef, accountant, counselor,  craftsman, stylist to the stars, and so much more.   I don’t think we realize how many different hats our children wear in their day as well!  They are comedians, scholars, athletes, janitors, waiters, and in our house – fashion models! Here for your viewing […]

  • Then and Now

    This has always been one of my favorite pictures of my girls when they were little.  It was taken at a Louisville Bats game in 2001 in the outfield.  I love the way the field stretches out in front of them.  It just screams summer to me. And here 9 years later, it still does. […]

  • Get your Motor Runnin’!

    As a sixth grader at SOMS it was Sydney’s turn to build a car!  Just like Kinsey did when she was in sixth grade.  Sydney’s car was called “SNAP” with the slogan “Oh snap look what I saw!”  It was a totally cute car.  My favorite was the inside panel though, which read “Place bottom […]

  • 70 days of summer

    We only have 70 short days of summer this year before school starts back in session.  And boy oh boy is this summer PACKED!  And you are going to see all of  it right here!  To start I wanted to share our Memorial day evening with you.  We had one of our fun glow stick […]

  • A Post-Eighth Grader

    The week before school ended Kinsey had a whole lot of fun adventures.  It was a non stop crazy train for two and a half weeks!  But we made it though and she had a blast in the process. From a trip to St. Louis to sing in a choral competition (that they WON!). . […]
