Just back from a lovely camping vacation to Mackinaw City, Michigan. Surprisingly, there were few, if any, Bad Mom incidents. Must have been all that fresh air and fun! Me and the family on the shores of Mackinac Island However, I did manage to drive into my carport with the roof bubble still attached to [Read More]
Experienced Bad Hair
Sydney and I have a long history with her hair. It started when I dropped the ball when she was a toddler and decided to get her first haircut on the spur of the moment. There were no pictures or dramatic entries in her baby book. Then, for her second haircut, I showed up with [Read More]

Cheese, Please
Last night at the dinner table Sydney, 4, said, “I’m not going to eat that cheese because it has boogers on it.” Well! I’m so proud. She listened to and followed all my motherly advice about not eating cheese with boogers on it!

Sugar and Spice?
This morning I was washing the breakfast dishes when Sydney came up to me in the kitchen. “Hi, Mom.” “Hi.” “Can I go downstairs to get something?” “Yes,” I answered, slightly annoyed that she was asking to go to the basement rather than just going. “I just want to get a key for a weapon,” [Read More]

Out of the Mouths of Babes
Sydney dressed for Church, 2009 Sydney, now a very grown-up 4-year-old, was with me in the car. We were listening to Christmas music (specifically the Rick Springfield Christmas album – oh yeah!). “This song is about God, right?” she asked. It was. Another song came on. “This song is about God, too,” she said. And [Read More]

Tomato Kevin
November has arrived in Michigan along with the requisite gray skies, cold temperatures, and huge squirrels. We have already had several frosts and our growing season is long-gone. Sydney, 3, and I were outside playing when she noticed the tomato plants in our garden from this summer. “Look!” she cried. “There’s a red one. I’m [Read More]

Anchorman: The Legend of…Sydney?
Chad’s favorite movie is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. It’s a silly, total guy film starring Will Ferrell. It’s rated PG-13 for sexual humor, language and comic violence. In other words, it’s not something you want the kids watching! Chad likes it so much that he quotes the movie freely: “I love poetry, and [Read More]

Carry Me
Sydney in her favorite spot: being carried! Sydney is at that age (3) where she’s really not a baby, but she’s not a big kid either. She still likes to be carried, especially this weekend when our family went for an extended walk in the local botanical gardens. I heard Sydney ask Chad, “Carry me!” [Read More]

The Magic Bed
Sydney in Montana last month–check out the mountain goat behind her! While visiting my parents out West on vacation, we got to check out their brand new fifth-wheel. For those of you without camping backgrounds, a fifth-wheel is the mammoth trailer that people pull using a pick-up truck. It really was beautiful! And it had [Read More]

Girls who Rock the World, Part II
I realize I haven’t shared any Sydney stories lately. That’s because I spend all my time being a bad mom to Will, but not Sydney. I’m kidding! A couple weeks ago we had some really windy Spring days. Sydney was sitting at her picnic table playing as the wind swirled around her. She looked to [Read More]
