This week was a birthday week in our house; #3 entered the highly anticipated “double digits”. I say birthday week because although the birthday is actually just a single day, the preparation leading up to said event requires a few days of work on my part. I usually try to be organized and accomplish the […]
Can I Phone A Friend?
As you probably know from prior posts, I’ve been trying to limit my iPhone usage when around my kids, a feat far easier said than done for me. But I try to keep the phone squared away in the cabinet until ideally the kids are either a- not physically present, or b- not in need […]
Leapin’ Lizards!
Maybe the title is wrong. They WERE leapin’. Once. Now? Not so much… So I have a confession to make. Yes, you’ll likely judge me. Or call PETA to report me, and I’ll end up with a bucket of fake lizard’s blood being hurled at my coat in public. It’s time you know what a […]
Pick-y, Picky
As I’ve mentioned previously, I despise the fall, for a number of reasons. But in the spirit of the season, we embarked as a family on the customary, New England required fall family experience: Apple & Pumpkin Picking. For those of you that have not had the thrill of participating in such an event, please […]
How You Like THEM Apples?
We’re in the throes of September, so our days are now dominating by all things school-related. Things like: Homework- encouraging children to do it. Complaining when they try NOT to do it. Listening to the excuses on why they’d rather NOT do it. And math…. *sigh* Getting to school on time Picking them up, on […]
The Sum(mer) Of It All
Writing this post is, to me, the equivalent of taking a broom to sweep out the cobwebs congregating in the corners of the room. I know it’s been awhile. Since mid-summer, the blog has remained dormant, with nary a new post to be seen. (Image Courtesy of www.arizonaoddities.com) Where’s the Six Pack been? Well.. I […]
The Iron Maiden
This is one of those stories that as a parent, you can laugh about LATER… after the fact. WAY after the fact. At the time, it was one of those heart-pumping crisis moments that you hope, as a parent, are few and far in between. Personally, I blame the Flintstones. Yes, my kids eat a […]
Sum-mer Home? (ALL Are Home)
We’re now in the second official week of summer, and I’m happy to report that despite the culture shock of the first few days, we’ve now settled into a solid daily routine. Not that it’s not still a challenge, though. Having all six kids home all summer, coupled with The Captain not arriving home until […]
This is 40.
Let me preface this by saying that that prior to turning 40, I was never the type to experience any angst about my age. My 20’s were great. Turning 30 was no big deal, because I was so busy- married for 5 years and pregnant with my third child. But the Big 4-0… well, that […]
Back To Busyness!
Long time, no see, eh? My apologies for the delay in posting. I’ve been skulking around the periphery of my social media outlets, but my blog posts have been wanting as of late. It’s not that there’s been nothing to write about -with this group, there’s ALWAYS something to write about- but the reality has […]
