It’s currently Thanksgiving Eve, and I have been cooking for no less than six hours… so far. Did I mention two weeks ago that we had firmly decided we were not doing ANYTHING for Thanksgiving? But, when Mr. Cotten is in charge of plans… well they change. Rapidly. So when my husband nonchalantly told his […]
Black Hat Bash
Who doesn’t love a good costume party? Well, me, if we’re being honest. I hate costume parties. Last Friday we attended our second Black Hat Bash at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. It takes a lot for me to wear a costume, but TCM usually can make it happen. The things I’ll do for Sun […]
Life Dump.
Oh my God, guys. It was just pointed out to me that I haven’t posted a single thing in three weeks. THREE WEEKS. Who brought it to my attention? Bloglovin. Freaking Bloglovin put a little “21d” next to my last post. Like, “Yo. Cotten Tales. Write something.” And then Facebook didn’t want to be outdone, […]
Refreshed | Labor Day Weekend
Was is just me, or was Labor Day weekend a big sigh of relief? It just felt like a nice, slow weekend – even though we were constantly doing. Yes, Mr. Cotten has been back from New York City for over a week, but this weekend it finally felt like he was HOME. Random house […]
Currently…
Oh, hey. Remember all of those fabulous guest bloggers? The ones I hoped would give me enough time to figure out my new routine without having dead air? Yeah. 16 days of radio silence later… here I am. There’s a lot happening in the Cotten house, so I’m going to throw together a nice old […]
In Summary…
Hi. I fell off the face of the {blogging} planet again. Sorry, not sorry. I didn’t mean to, really. But the Cotten house has been SLIGHTLY busy over the last two weeks. Mr. Cotten and I have been trading off parental duties – as in we have been literally handing off Dorothy to each other […]
Surprise Eggs! | Easter Weekend 2016
If you search for “surprise eggs” on YouTube, you will find literally millions of videos of people opening what are essentially Easter eggs filled with candy and small toys. Dorothy is 100 percent obsessed with them. She could seriously sit with her iPad and watch these YouTube videos for hours. I know this, because I have […]
Random Monday Rant
So, my house eats things. Oh hey, I’m back! Like, seriously, I can’t even tell you how many things have just magically disappeared since we moved here. A whole box of my high school guard contest videos has just vanished. The Rainbow Fish print that used to be in Dorothy’s nursery is still missing. Who […]
A Different Kind of Love | Weekending
TGI… M? While everyone else had romantic and relaxing Valentine’s Day weekends, I spent the extended holiday leading one of my color guards to their first WGI Winds regional competition in Dayton, Ohio. That’s 27 high school students… for nearly two straight days… three hours from home… with a 5 a.m. call time… and two full performances… …while 6 […]
In Real Life | Currently…
I have done a lot of posting about my pregnancy recently, and not a lot about what I’m doing in my real life. You know, outside of growing a human from scratch. Today let’s do a short little “Currently” post to catch up, shall we? Currently I’m… … writing Outside of my “day job” as a SAHM, […]
