As I mentioned last week, my family is just back from a week at Disney World. This time, we spent 3 days at the parks and 3 days on our first-ever cruise. It was everything a trip to Disney should be–fun, exciting, tiring, etc. Below I’m sharing 3 of my favorite photos from our trip. [Read More]
Wishing You a Funny Friday
I’m hungover. No, not from alcohol. From Disney World! We got back Monday night and I’m still feeling the effects: extreme exhaustion and disorientation due to massive laundry piles, legs that walked to Timbuktu and back, and excessive amounts of eating out. While I struggle to get back to normal, I hope these cartoons bring [Read More]
Epic Disney Fails
It’s that time of year again: Disney time! Every winter my family escapes Michigan’s brutal winter to spend a few days frolicking with Mickey Mouse in the Florida sunshine. And every trip to Disney inevitably produces an epic fail (as my 10yo would say) when it comes to vacation memories and happiness. Here’s a quick [Read More]
How My Daughter Made Me Laugh
I’ve got a couple of pictures to share with you today. Both made me laugh so hard! First, here is a picture of my daughter’s homework. I’ll remind everyone that she’s in first grade. Look at the second sentence. I have no idea what she was trying to write–really I don’t–but you and I both [Read More]

The Snow Day Mom
My seven-year-old daughter snuggled closer. We were reading stories before it was time for her to go to sleep. This ritual in the evening had crawled closer to my heart recently. My ten-year-old no longer needed me to read to him and, as my daughter grew older, Â I realized how fleeting this part of the [Read More]
I Love My Kids, But…
My kids have been out of school since December 20. They were supposed to go back Monday, January 6. However, Monday was a snow day and Tuesday was a holy-cow-it’s-never-been-this-cold-don’t-go-outside day. As I loaded some laundry into the washer on Monday, it hit me. I love my kids, but they are driving me crazy right [Read More]
A Cat, a Dog, a Lover, and Beethoven
I didn’t mean to. Really, I didn’t. But somehow between Christmas, New Year’s, the kids being out of school, me taking off work to be home to take care of them, and the deep freeze and deep snow that consumed our area, I just didn’t blog for nearly 2 weeks. So what did I do? [Read More]
Christmas around the Blogosphere
Let me wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays! I wanted to share some of the posts about Christmas that have really spoken to me this past month. They come from writers/bloggers whose ideas, joys, and stories are worth a visit! First up is Chris at The Mom Cafe. She shared the [Read More]
The Truth about School Holiday Parties
We’ve got 3 school parties before the schools shut down for winter break (which is surprising as I only have 2 kids!)  My son, age 10, has his party in 5th grade on Friday. My daughter, age 7, had two parties in her 1st grade class. One was on Thursday afternoon and one is all day [Read More]
