14 year old boys...


Are awesome.

They're this crazy mix of man and boy that makes my heart swell with love and happiness (and, so, yeah...okay, sometimes with anger and frustration, too!)!

I love that the Pal still gets holes in his jeans...because it means he still "plays".

And I love that, when a big, slushy, icy hill is discovered, a 14 year old manboy can't help himself but to slip and slide and run down it as fast as he can...






More often that not, that 14 year old boy makes me smile.

I love him.

    I have one of those, too! They're at such an awkward stage of life. Gotta love 'em. Great photos, too!

    Your kids are all beautiful. They grow up so fast. Mine are 9, 7, and 7.

    Your love for your kids shines in this blog. I'm sure they all feel your deep love everyday. You have lucky children.

    you are more than welcome to my 15 year old. Since 13.5 he's become more and more of a pain as long as he's not doing exactly what he wants (ie playing XBOX) the attitude male PMS, the talking back, the disrespect or rules and people, and his school work I have no idea how someone so smart can do so many NOT smart things ugh. I love the kid but please, let me make it through the next 3.5 years..... and wow he's also learned to argue and fight like his dad.... who's no help what so ever so I'm glad he's out of here.....

    You are lucky to have a good one ;)

    I have a 16 year-old manboy and I totally get what you are saying. They are quite a mix of boy and man, sometimes toddler thrown in for good measure.

    But those girl-moms don't know what they're missing!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !

You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
