Hooray for Mean Mom! March 26, 2009 · Filed under The Tiny Shinys. Okay friends, and especially Jan, it is time for an Ellie story. Once upon a time two weeks ago, Ellie had a friend over for a play date. Her friend was the truly adorable “pocket Pearl,” an itty bitty first grader with the cutest little voice who endures me calling her “the Black Pearl,” and has been overheard refering to bacon as “my favorite vegetable.” How could we not love her? Ah, way to punish me along with her. 8221; she screamed&...

March 25, 2009 · Filed under The Tiny Shinys. I haven’t been able to write this week because my little sister has been in the hospital. Some of you know about my sweet sister, Lani. She’s a beautiful red head, she is disabled, she is like a baby even though she is 31 years old. I love her so much. We all know that Lani is very close to the Lord and that she will be amazing, spectacular, radiant when she meets her Heavenly Father again. But we are so grateful that it isn’t time quite yet. You are commenti...

I’ve Moved! | Barnacle Butt
https://barnaclebutt.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/ive-moved
April 7, 2009 · Filed under it's all about me (yikes). So I am moving to blogger because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a pretty blog on wordpress. And I was feeling left out because all my friends have such lovely, skinny blogs with great hair cuts and fabulous shoes. It wasn’t fair. And, I hate to admit it, I. So now I plan to go a little crazy with the bling. And stuff, but I know you love me anyway…for who I am inside…right? Okay, it’s www.barnaclebutt.blogspot.com.

A Love Letter for Maddie and Katie | Barnacle Butt

A Love Letter for Maddie and Katie. March 18, 2009 · Filed under The Tiny Shinys. I’ve noticed that not many of the”mommy blogs” talk about teenagers and I think I know the reason. It is because they (teenagers) are difficult. They are rarely cute. And not even all that funny. They roll their eyes and sigh. They say “fine,” and “I said. Teenagers are painful. Their shortcomings and weaknesses are excruciatingly familiar. Perhaps it’s just me? Oh my They are so beautiful sometimes it hurts to look at them...

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby! March 19, 2009 · Filed under The Tiny Shinys. Today is Katie’s BIRTHDAY! She is the magnificent 14, able to attend dances at last.
