Yesterday morning, I believe it was. I’ve been getting a lot of these lately.  I’m hoping at least half of you shake your heads in disbelief and think something like, “She’s losing it, folks.  And it’s no wonder, with all those little kids…”  It’s a nice visual. Anyway, moving [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/08/whispered-little-comment/feed/ 3 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/my-miracle/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/my-miracle/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:05:19 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1611 You know how some things stay towards the top of your mind and get thought of often?  Gardening is one of those things for me.  Here’s why. The last three years (or is it four?!) I have sworn “THIS year, I WILL have a garden!” and I’ve really hated it.  Most of it, anyway.  I would occassionally feel [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/my-miracle/feed/ 6 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/ah-ha-moments/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/ah-ha-moments/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:19:26 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1605 Aren’t they great? It took me a while, but I figured something out last night.  The little lightbulb in my head went “DING!” as my thoughts were winding down before I fell asleep.  Ready for the revelation? Okay.  Here it is. I am not a  seamstress! And why is that so profound, you ask? Well, because I’ve been hoarding fabric as thought I [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/06/ah-ha-moments/feed/ 7 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/03/wordless-wednesday/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/03/wordless-wednesday/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:39:59 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1594 Wordless now — But just you wait until you hear the story behind it.  Ooooooooooh, man, is it a good one.  So good, it’s hard to imagine doing justice to it in the written word.  So good I can’t wait to try.  So good it inspired this facebook group, although it’s too big to share just [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/03/wordless-wednesday/feed/ 2 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/02/i-dig-it/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/02/i-dig-it/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:24:26 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/02/i-dig-it/ My hands feel weird. Specifically my fingertips. Is this what work-roughened hands feel like? Hm! Good to know!  It’s very, very different, and I feel almost guilty for just now discovering this feeling at the ripe old age of 28. Note to self:  Maybe I should wear gloves the next time I till my entire 15×9ft garden the old-fashioned [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/02/i-dig-it/feed/ 4 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/01/new-look/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/03/01/new-look/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:45:35 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1582 Disclaimer: I don’t actually have any tag from “Bad-whatever.” Maybe the BlogFairy will fly by and fix it for me. Aside from the text on that funky tag thing, I love the new look here. John helped me find it, and made sure that THIS layout was tracking traffic.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.  Be careful with your pets whilst you are making it, though, or you might end up with this: What?  We have a dog?  Who thinks she’s a cat? No, of course we don’t, Silly!   We have four kids under six years of age.  Like we’d [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/28/super-easy-cheap-cute-easter-garland/feed/ 9 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/27/unfair/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/27/unfair/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:04:40 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1544 Do you ever find yourself taking pictures of one kid more than the others?  Whoops. It’s just that the others haven’t been very photogenic lately. And then when they are, this happens: Not fair. So, on to the cute one. Yes, the ordering of sherbet the same color as his shirt was intentional.  It was a good idea. Man, I love those eyes.  [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/27/unfair/feed/ 13 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/21/two-too-wonderful/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/21/two-too-wonderful/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:29:53 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/?p=1532 Guess who’s two! We love our little man.  Two is going to be a great age for this one. It’s amazing to watch another “language boom” stage.  He’s been piecing little sentences together lately, and getting more and more adventurous with words.  “I yike toast” was the first of many surprising little phrases. I digress.  Today we invited [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/21/two-too-wonderful/feed/ 7 http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/19/needs/ http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/19/needs/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 07:32:26 +0000 Mrs. Smith http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/19/needs/ My sister needs a blog. Why? Because I said so. Just kidding. The real reason is that so when I’m up at midnight with a screaming baby, I can have access to her perky, happy, upbeat, cheery sunshine-ness in a blog format. Facebook is just not cutting it. Especially because she hasn’t done much on facebook in forever… Although [...]]]> http://mrs.smith.smithfam.us/2010/02/19/needs/feed/ 3
