Halloween is over for another year and I am sitting in the kitchen looking at a counter full of candy wondering how much I can eat before my kids notice. My two-year old keeps walking by looking up at me saying “Trick-or-Treat?” and holding out his already chocolate stained hand. The kids had a fantastic [...]

If someone could just come and smack me over the head with an inappropriately large rubber mallet, I would be forever in their debt. I just don’t know how much more I can take right now! After the puss caterpillar incident a few weeks ago (read about it here), I was ready for things to [...]

This is not a picture of a wildly furry puppy. This is not some new cat breed. This is a caterpillar… a Puss Caterpillar, one of the most toxic caterpillars in the United States. Why am I writing about this weird little monster? Well, my 5 year old daughter had a brief encounter with it [...]

A friend recently put a quote from a book she was reading on Facebook: “…when her husband came home from work he was greeted not by his children’s mother, and not by the housekeeper, but by the woman he married”. (Talking about the wife of the 50’s changing her clothes before her husband came home)”. I’m [...]

I love bubbles. They relax me. Well, most of the time they relax me… when I’m cleaning up spilled bubble solution, or sorting out an argument about who’s bubble container is whose, or calming a screaming toddler who is angry that bubble time is over- that’s not so relaxing.

Dentist.
I bet you shivered just now, didn’t you? (and if you didn’t, check your pulse and make sure you are still breathing)

I am a ball of stress. I have always been a ball of stress. No matter the situation, I will find a way to stress about it. Lately I’ve been stressing about money. Sound familiar? I bet you do the same thing from time to time, more so in our current economy. Gas prices are [...]
