"That's What She Said!"

If you have ever watched "The Office" you have heard this one-liner plenty of times....or, if you have ever been to my house, you have heard this more than enough times! If you haven't had the privilege of either, let me explain. The quote "that's what she said" first made its way into my life via "The Office" on TV. A character said an innocent line..."this is hard"....to which another character replied...."that's what she said". Thus, creating a new one liner phenomenon.


However, one student took it a little too far and it landed him in detention.

The Reason for Detention reads: another student made the comment "you need to push it in further" (innocent comment) and Dalton added "that's what she said."

Not going to lie, I had a good hearty laugh at this!

Baby C: 2 Weeks Old

We had a mini photo shoot this morning.....

Too precious for words!

Must Reads

I never realized how little "good" TV was on during the day. Unless you are into soap operas or endless baby shows, there isn't much worth watching during the day. I mean, the Olympics don't even come on until the evening...what's up with that?! So, not only have I had a newborn attached to a certain body part I have also had my Kindle attached to another certain, but different, body part. I love the fact that I can download samples of books for free, read a couple of chapters, then decided it I want to buy it or not. I have added a few....ok, like maybe 10 so far, but like I said there is NOTHING on TV during the day!......new books to my must read list.

A new author that I recently discovered is Allison Winn Scotch. The first book I read from her was:

This book was about a mother who often wondered what her life would be like if she made different choices...then poof! one day, she went back in time 7 years and was able to make different choices to see what her life would have been like. I don't know anyone who hasn't at least thought about what their life would have been like if they had chosen a different path. Not only will you get caught up in how her life differs with every choice she makes, but it will also have you thinking about your life and the 'what ifs' if you had chosen a different path for your self.

Currently, I'm reading:
Breast Cancer Awareness has always been a very close cause to my heart, so when I came across her book about a young women who is diagnosed with it, of course I became hooked right away. I'm only half way done with it so far, so I can't give too much info about it other than when reading it, you will become the main character's cheerleader and sympathizer throughout the novel.

Just when you thought we were rid of her.....

Kate Gosselin has a new book coming out in April. This book is boasting excerpts from her private journal about her marriage, kids, and three years of filming their TV reality show. I wonder if there will be anything 'juicy' about her ex-husband whom I have read she had a nickname for him...Stubby. You can just imagine what body part she was referring to with that one!

Kelly Cutrone may be a cut throat boss, however, in her book she offers women encouragement to go after their dreams and stand up for themselves....

something you don't see her doing much of on her reality TV show, but her book is inspiring....a must read to get you off your rear-end and get motivated!

Tori Spelling is now trying her hand at writing children's books after writing adult books. I can't help but think that the main character of her book, Tallulah not only looks like her, but has her same dog too. Maybe this is yet again another stab at her mother....

I'm sure many of you don't have time to sit and read a 300+ page book...maybe you just have enough time to read blogs...but at least you are reading!!! (You can take the teacher out of the classroom, but not the love of reading from the teacher!)

Glimpse Into The Past

Big C today....

Big C one year ago....

I sure do hope that this little one doesn't grow up as fast as Big C has!

Big C's Big Snow!

Just like most of you, we were hit with some heavy snow last week. Now, I didn't mind...I was "snowed in" anyway but it was extra special because Curt's school was closed a day. We kept Big C home with us and when Baby C went down for a nap..with Curt....Big C and I hit the snow!

There is so much snow, he has trouble walking in it....but he did NOT want to come in from playing in it.

Although, he may have had trouble walking in it due to the NUMEROUS layers I put him in!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning, I made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast in the colors of hot pink and purple. I simply dyed the pancake batter pink and purple .....

.....then cooked the pancakes. Once they were done, I used heart shaped cookie cutters to turn them from circles to hearts. Big C wasn't sure about them at first...he didn't think that they were pancakes, but after a little taste, all was good!

After breakfast, the kids...wow, I can't believe I said kids!.....got to open their Valentine's gifts.

Happy Valentine's Day to you all from my little heart breakers in training!

Apolo Anton Ohno...OH YES!

Have you been watching the Olympics? I have only slightly......(obsessively)...been watching the coverage of the 2010 games held in Vancouver.

However, Saturday night I was GLUED to the TV watching Apolo Anton Ohno speed skating.

If you don't watch the Olympics, first of all, shame on you, you might know him from Dancing With The Stars. He won (can't remember what season) with Julianne Hough. His grace on the dance floor is nothing to compared to him skating. He moves with such ease and his face shows such peace and concentration when skating that it appears to be effortless. Baby C and I literally sat in amazement of his skating....that and he is easy on the eyes too! Isn't that what the Olympics is all about?
