Last week at church our pastor mentioned a fig tree in her sermon. My son, 8, leaned over and asked, “What’s a fig?” “Sort of like a raisin,” I whispered, not at all sure that a fig is like a raisin, but pretty sure it would mean nothing to my son if I had said [Read More]
Living the Dream?
This was sort of the face he made when I told him he wouldn’t have recess all day This past Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and I had to work. My daughter’s daycare was open but the public school was not. Therefore, I enrolled Will, 8, in a free MLK symposium for kids. It’s the [Read More]

Tale as Old as Time

Internet Security
Recently my 8-year-old begged me to join Club Penguin. If you’ve never heard of Club Penguin, don’t worry. Neither had I.

What you don’t know, but should, is that my daughter has some sort of freakishly fabulous memory that nearly ruined the day she got her American Girl doll. Let me explain.

Things that make me go “hmmm….”
I pulled into our garage with the car loaded down with a week’s worth of groceries. My husband and son had just pulled in moments before me, back from their trip to the barber. “Will,” I said to my 8-year-old. “Here, help me with the groceries.” I was unpacking the trunk and handed him a [Read More]
