Just a quick update that school started Tuesday (Will’s in 2nd grade and Sydney is in a new preschool group). It took me all of *2 days* of school before I had to go through the drive thru of McDonald’s to pick up dinner. What else was I supposed to do? Chad, my lovely husband, [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]

“Reading Pointers”
I was reading the September issue of Parenting magazine when I stumbled across this little ditty: “When you read to your kids, try running your finger along the individual words you’re sounding out. In a recent study, preschoolers who were read to this way had significantly higher print-knowledge scores after only 30 weeks.” Now if [Read More]

Paper or Plastic
I took Sydney with me to the grocery store for a weekly shopping trip. She wanted to use one of those carts that resembles a race car. Fine by me. We loaded it up with our weekly wares: food, cat food, TP, etc. I also got a 6 pack of beer. At the checkout, the [Read More]

A Vacation Anniversary
Waiting for a water taxi in Chicago last year A year ago we went on a vacation to Chicago. What fun we had visiting Navy Pier, taking the Amtrak train, riding the water ferries, shopping on Michigan Avenue, going to Shedd Aquarium, etc. “Do you remember where we were a year ago?” I asked Will [Read More]

God’s Wand
Today’s story is sweet, in my opinion. So how does that work into my overall blog theme of me being a bad mom? Let’s just say I’m now one of those annoying mothers who thinks everything her child does is wonderful and tells everyone about it, whether or not they want to listen! Sydney, 3 [Read More]

Today’s Highlights
As if I needed further proof that I am a bad mom, here are 2 highlights from today (and it’s only noon): 1. Sydney, age 3, called her brother a “stupid ass”. 2. Will insisted on riding through the grocery store sitting atop the kiddie cart shaped like a police car. I gave up trying [Read More]

Wrestling – TMI??
Wedded bliss (before kids!) a mere 16 years ago The other night Chad and I were laughing ourselves silly as we remembered this story from a couple years ago. *Warning! It is not for the faint of heart! Or for those of you who might be embarrassed by the topic. It might also be considered [Read More]

Major League Debut
This morning Chad and I woke up before the kids. Wow, how did that happen? We literally ran to the living room with our coffee cups and plunked down to watch adult morning news, not PBS Kids or Cartoon Network. This was the life! Within 30 seconds both kids were up and on the couch [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]
