Don’t you love it when you feel like you made a good purchase? You may remember last June when I was WAY preggo, we decided to invest in a swingset for our backyard. It’s not a very expensive one, but it has what we needed. Last summer it was a lifesaver, as we were pretty […]
Sometimes I DO make my bed.
So, get ready to shine my Mother of the Year trophy. We went on a mini-vacay, just me and the kids, to a friends beach house for a day and a half. On the long drive home, I let Carson have one McD’s cheeseburger (no fries). Then I let him have one red vine. Then […]
Last summer I was hanging out with my hubby & some of his colleagues. One coworker “tattled” on another, saying they had seen SoandSo riding a bike….WITHOUT A HELMET!

Tonight we saw a preview on a DVD for the Tigger movie. When the even more well-known character–you know, the one who likes “Hunny”–showed up, Carson said: “Mom! Look! It’s Winnie the Who!”
My friend Amy posted recently that when she thinks back to this time of her life, raising 3 small kids, a memory that will take dominance is laundry.
