A briefcase for dad? Nope, for the 6 year old!

For Christmas, this year, my 6 year old will be getting a briefcase.  Yes, you read that correctly - a briefcase. No, he's not a 6 year old super geek (like his daddy), but I can say that he's one of those kids that sees something that he dubs cool in his mind, and he sticks with it. What can POSSIBLY be cool about a briefcase, you ask?  Briefcases double as gun cases, didn't you know!? (more…)

Baseball & BBQ – What do they have in common? A name. Skeeters

There is absolutely no mistaking that I love baseball.  I've been a HUGE fan since I was little.  My sisters and I played t-ball and softball growing up, and my parents even coached.    (One year, my sister and I were on a team that my mom coached, and we were the The New Girls on the Block!  Yeah, you guessed it - that era!) Now, Braxton plays, and next season, Hawk will, too! When we moved to Sugar Land, we were super excited to find out that there was going to be a new Minor League team forming here!  We're…

Origami Envelope Advent Calendars – Arrival of Christ(mas)

Every year, the kids and I get together and make Advent Calendars!  The word Advent simply means coming or arrival.  I can remember when I was little, and we had a calendar made out of green felt with red trim and red yarn dangling.  My parents would go purchase a pack of small candy canes and tie one to each set of yarn strands. My sisters and I would take turns every day, pulling off candy cane, counting down to the days of Christmas!  For many families, that's where the countdown ends.  For our family, it's a bit different! Yes,…

Do you give Christmas gifts to your mail carrier?

Before moving to our new neighborhood, I had all mail carriers stereotyped.  Ok, I take that back, I had almost everyone who is in the parcel and package delivery industry stereotyped. My stereotypes are as follows: UPS - I thought it was a prerequisite that they were all HOT! From 25-65, I've never seen a UPS guy (or gal for that matter) that wasn't ruff, tuff, buff, and just HOT! FEDEX - I always thought these guys were the most absolute cranky people ever. I chalked it up to either not so great pay or the fact that they never…
