The idea of writing a post regarding family vacations was spurred on by an email I received from The Steve Harvey Show; they are sponsoring a Family Bucket List contest in order to treat an adventurous, deserving family to the vacation adventure of their dreams. Before discussing my thoughts on family vacations, I’m going to […]
Right On Target
It started with the lamp. The Captain and I have matching bedside lamps; or rather, we HAD matching lamps, until yesterday. #6 -who shall henceforth be dubbed “Bam-Bam” for his penchant for grabbing and smashing stuff- managed to slip unnoticed into our bedroom after breakfast. Three minutes later, our once intact lamp was transformed into […]
“It’s Just Like Riding A Bike”
Confession: I don’t own a bike. I used to. Remember the days of old, when you and your tween friends would hop on your bikes and ride for hours, without your parents having a blessed clue where you were?? It’s been years since I’ve owned one, but that doesn’t really bother me. I don’t even […]
No Park-ing: 10 Reasons I Dread The Playground
Spring has sprung, baby! Ah, the warmth, the shining sun, longer days. You already know how I feel about being cold, so the change has been great. And that, in turn, has made everything so much easier. Ah, yes. Spring finally means throwing open your windows and allowing the fresh air to whirl those pesky […]
Baby Bear’s Birthday!
Can someone please tell me where this past year went?? Because it seems like yesterday that I brought tiny lil’ #6 home, but we just celebrated his first birthday this weekend. How does it all go by so fast?? At least it’s not just me. When I mentioned his birthday on Facebook (because as […]
How do you DO it?? Part 2
As I mentioned in my last post regarding organization, I wanted to give you a clear sense of how I/we do things here, before I continue to entertain you with all of the things that go wrong here. 🙂 In the last post, I shared some of the techniques that we use to keep a […]
How Do You DO It?? Part 1
As you know, I have lots of kids. And when people find out that I have six kids, I receive one of two responses: 1. “God BLESS you!” (This can either mean “Wow! That’s AWESOME!”, or “I really hope God DOES bless you, because you’ll need it.” 2. “How do you DO it??” I have […]
I Was CONN-ed
Hi, everyone! Finally have a spare moment to post (spare as in: only while spooning baby food into tiny tot’s mouth), so here I am. It’s been quiet here lately. Quiet NOT as in, “oh boy, this is SO peaceful and relaxing!” No. Quiet as in, I’ve been going about my normal business of handling […]
Snow Big Deal
It’s January. In the Northeast. Temperatures dropping. It was inevitable that, eventually, we’d get it. You know. The S word. SNOW. Yup. Late last week, the news hyped the latest big storm to wreak havoc on our area. Weren’t you battering down your hatches, & buying all of the bread & milk you could get your […]
Happy Halloweenies!
S0, Halloween- you either knowit because you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children to hit the streets, or you don’t; in which case, you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children that kept ringing your bell and demanding sweets…. Of course I’d blog about Halloween. I’m […]
