The Bread and The Whine

By

Here’s a story that proves bad mothering may run in the family. My sister has two lovely children, Ian, 9, and Lily, 6. Like me, my sister takes her kids to church on Sunday. This past Sunday, the first of the month, is when Presbyterians traditionally take communion. After the bread and the wine/grape juice [Read More]

The Educational Value of Cheez-Its

By

Recently, Cheez-Its were on sale at the grocery store. I picked up a box and selected the Junior Scrabble kind for their educational value (you know, to make up for the Cheez-Its’ nutritional de-value!). Sydney has been identifying letters in her name and trying to spell things with the crackers. See, they ARE educational! Usually, [Read More]

Sydney begged me to take baton twirling classes this year. Lucky for us (?) there is quite the baton twirling dynasty in our town. Last week she got fitted for her costume and almost passed out with joy! Here she is in it. She has tried it on for us, the neighbors, and every person [Read More]

Soakin’ Hot

By

“Mom, will you blow this and help me cool it down?” asked Sydney, 4. She was pointing at her quesadilla, hot off the grill. “It’s soakin’ hot!” she continued dramatically. What? Oh! I began to giggle. She asked me, “Do you know what soakin’ hot means?” Still giggling, I nodded. “It means it’s really, really [Read More]

My First Official Guest Post!

Faithful readers, Lucy and Sydney Today I am lucky to share a story from my friend, Janet, about her 4-year-old Lucy. I laughed my keister off when I read this post on Facebook and she graciously allowed me to share. She posted: At Lucy’s four-year checkup today, I had to fill out a questionnaire about [Read More]

Slippery When Wet

By

“Whoa!” shouted Will as he slid across the kitchen floor. He had slipped in a small puddle of water that none of us had realized was there. I flashed back to 5 minutes earlier when Sydney had poured herself a drink near that spot. “You know,” he directed to me, very indignant (and serious), “you [Read More]
