Dear Mom,
Hi, It’s me, Kristine again. I’m sure you know why I am writing you. The children are driving me crazy and I blame all of it on you now. The angst in this house is so thick I can cut it with a butter knife. I can’t take it anymore! Mother, please…I beg of you…stop…

You would think that children’s cartoons would be more entertaining while trippin’ on DayQuil, but you know what? They aren’t. Poor Jeremiah is teething and I have a sneaky suspicion that he might have the same cold that I have…or I am teething too. He has a big ol’ snotty nose. Keep in mind, I’ve…

Come spring I am Karma cursed for all the years I had picked on Dan for having allergies. I don’t mean I picked on him in a loving way, I picked on him in a horrible manner. Names like, ‘dork’ ‘nerd’ were just the tip of the ice berg. No sympathy what so ever when…

Happy 1st Birthday, Jeremiah
A year ago, your mother welcomed you into the world with more love than any child could ever ask for. You have always been surrounded by people that find you a blessing from God and have loved you within seconds. It’s hard not to, you’re so damn cute. You never let me even look at…

SPF: Letters..cause they are so cool.
I am not kidding when I said about 200 ways to do this weeks SPF. As I was going out to get my “Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks” book when I caught Tabitha in the kitchen with a mouth full of french bread all fired up after her meeting. I love to listen to people…

Why I Started My Personal Blog
I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.
I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
