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]
Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah
This Sunday our church presented the 3rd graders with Bibles. When I prepped Will for this momentous occasion (i.e. don’t pick your nose in front of the church, be respectful), he asked this after learning he would receive a Bible: “Do I have to read it all?” “Eventually,” I said and then started a sweet [Read More]

Introducing…Sparkle!
Sydney got an American Girl doll for her 5th birthday. She is ecstatic about it! For the first 2 hours, the doll was named “Sydney”, but that started to get confusing. So she chose another name: **Sparkle** Aww, isn’t that a cute name for a 5-year-old to bequeath on her doll? Either that or she [Read More]

Five
On Sunday my daughter Sydney turned 5. Here’s a happy picture of me, Sydney, and Will, 8: After we took the picture, Sydney wanted to see it on the camera. She looked at it, sighed, then said to me, “YOU’RE not 5.” Then she instructed my husband, “Take it again.” So here’s the second, Sydney-approved [Read More]

Winter Wonderland
We had our first snow today in our little corner of the world. There’s nothing like snow to make you feel like a bad mom or dad. That’s because my thought is always, “Please don’t snow enough to make it a snow day.” And I bet this morning bad moms and dad all over metro [Read More]

Good After All
Will, 8, got glasses this Fall “Will did something today,” the teacher said. Oh, geez. I felt myself tense. I was picking Will up from his after-school program. We were new to this program this Fall and, to be honest, the teachers had told me on two different occasions that Will was not listening to [Read More]

Sh#* Happens
It’s been a slow week around these parts. My children have been the models of perfect behavior (not!). Actually, I’ve just been busy and haven’t paid attention to whatever type of bad mom I may have been. Small tidbit: I heard from after-school care that Will blurted out “Sh$%” the other day and EVERYONE heard [Read More]

OMG
Sydney had a playdate last week with one of her sweetest friends. These two 4-year-olds play so well together: pretending to be ponies, teenagers (that cracks me up), mommy and baby. So sweet! At one point during the playdate, Sydney said dramatically, “OMG” about something. I think she must have picked this phrase up from [Read More]

Pillow Talk
Sydney and I were in my bed, trying to hide from Will, 8. He got distracted by his DSi so we had a few minutes to ourselves. Very nonchalantly, Sydney picked her nose and wiped the booger on the pillow. She was laying on my side of the bed, of course. “Did you just pick [Read More]
