Around DC – Not So SAHM

Falling down laughing

The craziness never stops around here. I don’t even remember what was happening, or if she started crying after she fell. I do know that she’s laughing here! She probably didn’t fall either; she’s probably rocking back and forth. I saw this as I was going through all my January pics and knew I wantedContinue reading “Falling down laughing”

Snow Dance

There are three people in this house who love snow and one person who is just meh. I’m the meh. I was born in the South for a reason. But even I will admit that flurries like the ones below are beautiful. Mind you, I wasn’t out doing a happy dance in them, but thatContinue reading “Snow Dance”

Beauty Everywhere

Needless to say, it was cold! Even though I wasn’t happy with the weather, there’s beautyContinue reading “Encased in Ice”

Continuing with the snow theme, here’s a picture from later that day (from yesterday’s post). I guess I did leave the house long enough to do a couple of turns on the awesome hill that was in our neighborhood. I’m fudging a little bit on my rules, I guess. I technically did not take theContinue reading “Sledding”

Blue Eyes Pouting

She wasn’t happy about getting dressed up to go out in the snow. Who knows why. But once we got her out there–building snowmen; on the sled; building a snow fort–she had a great time. Me, on the other hand–I was out just long enough to get some snaps and then I ran back insideContinue reading “Blue Eyes Pouting”
