I felt like a good mom for the 1st three days of 1st grade. Then reality hit. It was a good run, those 3 days. You see, Clifford the Big Red Dog came home with Will on Thursday. We were supposed to play with Clifford and document his adventures in our house in the class [Read More]
Drawing with Sydney
We were in the front yard a few days ago drawing on our driveway with sidewalk chalk. Sometimes the kids ask me to draw things for them, such as Elmo or flowers. Sydney asked me to draw a puppy. So I did. I’m no artist so it wasn’t much to look at, but it was [Read More]

Nature…or nurture?! Part II
This morning at church I was standing up with Chad singing a hymn. Sydney was downstairs in the nursery and Will was trying to last as long as a 6-year-old could upstairs with us in the sanctuary. I looked over to see him doodling on the church bulletin. I looked closer and saw him drawing [Read More]

Good mom for a couple hours
This week I would like to thank Kraft/Oscar Mayer Lunchables for making me feel like a good mom! I hosted a Lunchables House Party for my playgroup with games, prizes, and food provided courtesy of Oscar Mayer. We sampled the new healthier Lunchables and got a kick out of the scavenger hunt. It was really [Read More]

Nature…or nurture?!
Here is a photo of me and Will enjoying a ride on the Mansfield, Ohio carousel. If you are ever on Route 30 in the middle of Ohio, I recommend you stop by! We took the kids on several carousel rides. Will loved it. On the last ride, he and I sat next to each [Read More]

Mmmm…
I came out of the shower this morning and went to check that my kids had not burned down the house or choked while I had attended to myself. All looked safe and sound. Except Sydney was chewing something. She looked to be holding some of my recipe cards, too. “Sydney, what are you eating?” [Read More]

Sticky Situation
I dropped the F-bomb in front of the kids this weekend. Oops. Hope they aren’t scarred for life. This was all brought on because Will was doing a plethora of things he shouldn’t have been doing: 1) He climbed on the furniture2) He climbed on me sitting on the furniture on which he had just [Read More]

Beer Princess
This one falls under the domain of my husband, Experienced Bad Dad! He was putting Sydney to sleep the other night when they had the following conversation about his t-shirt. Sydney asked,“What’s that say?” pointing to the lettering on his shirt. “Lienengugel’s” he says. (It’s a beer, and no, I didn’t spell it correctly) Sydney [Read More]

He’s Just Not That Into You
Recently I watched the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”. I thought it was okay. The women were portrayed as whiny and needy, and the men came across as dogs. Then I realized I was sort of the maternal version. Because after I sent out Will’s birthday party invitations, I was OBSESSED with checking [Read More]
