Posted in Field Trips, The Maiden who is Cheeky| July 21st, 2010
That’s your first hint in this game of “Where in the World is Cheeky Maiden?”
Notice I’m not the only Mamma selling at the famers market. The tent next door sells no-sugar-added fruit butters and they are awesome! (Don’t mind my expression, it’s HOT out there!!)
See? I smile when folks come up to chat or sniff. [...]

I love getting my latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Each issue is a bitter reminder of how lack-lustre my own flower beds are, how unorganized my closets have become, and how small my home is…
I jest. Really, I love the creative ideas it offers and usually get very inspired. However, one can’t [...]

Me being the cuckoo bird. Ahem.
I really thought when I wrote that last post that I was going to get better all fast and stuff. Seriously, there is something wrong with my perception of reality. Anything that I say should be questioned, people. Question me, please!! (just kidding)
What happened was I got worse. [...]

To my knowledge, Brent has no particular reason to be a Bama fan over an Auburn fan. But he is. And when Brent becomes a fan of something, he becomes a fan for life. (Good news for ME!) As a result, he treks to Tuscaloosa (aka T-Town) for the Alabama Spring Game. This year was [...]

It’s like Narnia when Aslan has returned. The ending to a very very long winter season in my own life. Fresh. Beautiful. Georgia. I’m hunting down the coordinator responsible for bringing Cheeky Maiden products into Whole Foods Market full time. We had a brief run at Christmastime that didn’t go perfectly, and this has [...]

There is an awful stomach bug going around. So far, we haven’t gotten it. So far.
We pass the public library every Saturday on our way to and from getting milk from the farm. Today I just couldn’t resist. Arwen is doing so great with her reading and it’s still cold outside. We could benefit from [...]

By Thursday of last week I knew that I needed some rest and my kids needed some fresh people to play with and love on them. So, given my perceptive Mommy Logic, I decided we should just take a tiny road trip to the next state over. I had plenty of time to think, on [...]

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that when I meet people for the first time I should say, “Hi, my name is Missi, and I’m here to freak you out.” Chatty strangers tend to draw out any number of details about my lifestyle that evidently totally fascinates them.
Tonight I went to purchase an area [...]

I know it’s been a while since I posted pics of the kids what with all the soul searching lately. Take a break and rest your mind while you ponder Charis’s statement of the day, “If you put a mouse in a crab tank, then you have no tank.”
And no, we didn’t sneak another kid [...]

I guess at some point during the day I officially lost my mind and went hog wild. As if our previous trekking around wasn’t enough, and since the day was ruined anyway, I decided to haul everyone back out the door.
That’s right. Hog Wild I said.
Once I laid out the monkey grass I realized that [...]
