I had a revelation about (my) experience in parenting that I wanted to share with you; or I thought I did, anyway. Whenever I attempt to share deep, profound thoughts on parenting, that’s when parenting ends up smacking me in the face…. LITERALLY. So I was sitting in the local dance studio the other day, […]
Riding The Vomit Comet
As our best-laid plans often seem to go, I had intended to post earlier this week, telling you all about the insanity of waiting on line in the cold for four hours to buy ticket’s to a 5 year old’s recital. And while that by itself warrants a post, my week was waylaid by a […]
National Siblings Day
If you’re a regular social media user (and let’s face it, you probably wouldn’t have landed here if you aren’t), then chances are you heard at some point that today is National Siblings Day! Umm…. huh? Before I get to my point, let me first say that I am a firm skeptic of these “so […]
April Fool’s Day Foolishness
So yesterday was April Fool’s Day, which, if you’re a parent, consists of being told all sorts of nonsense by your kids, followed by the chant, “April Fool’s Day!” about 408, 937 times. (Like I don’t spend enough time being foolish, attempting to keep order in a house of 8 people…) Yesterday was also Saturday, […]
Fantastic Finds- Bloggers Bible
Whether you’re a beginning blogger or a seasoned pro, it can be daunting to keep track of every last post, task, and email associated with all things blog. Running a successful blog requires so much more than just writing great posts; you also need to maintain your social media and advertising in order to grow […]
Go Green
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, if you’re Irish, or you like Ireland, or like drinking, or like corned beef, or like…. green, I guess? As someone who has a rather muddled ethnic heritage, I was always lukewarm about St. Paddy’s Day. While I appreciate the idea of pride in one’s cultural identity, I always felt like […]
Bored Games
In an effort to curb dependence on electronics, I’ve been encouraging my kids to play more board games. We have many of the standard games: Candyland, Chutes & Ladders, Apples To Apples, etc. To be a good sport, I’ll play a game of, let’s say, Candyland. And while I genuinely love watching the enthusiasm on […]
Veggie Tales
“Eat your vegetables.” As a kid, I dreaded hearing that, & if you’re like me, you dread having to say it if you have a child that is violently opposed to eating them. And yes, I have one that’s violently opposed to eating them. As a reformed picky eater, I get it. As a kid, […]
Hair Ye, Hair Ye
One of the more challenging aspects of parenting for me came as a surprise: HAIR. As a former tomboy, styling hair was definitely NOT on my list of high priorities as a kid. I had no interest in styling either my own hair, or anyone else’s, for that matter. And if you look back at […]
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is this week, and to celebrate it, The Captain and I decided we’d have a quiet, romantic dinner at home… …then we laughed and laughed, because KIDS. On a serious note, we don’t typically go all out on Valentine’s Day- usually we give each other a thoughtful card and some chocolates. If the […]
