First off let me state that I am NOT modest (or apparently proud because I am sharing this with you). That said, I got out of the shower yesterday night and my 4-year-old daughter came running in. Her nightgown hiked up over her belly shouting “Sorry Mom! I didn’t want to have an accent! ”…
Beyond the Dinner Table
I have made a couple of posts that included some insight into my cooking abilities (or dis-abilities?). I can NOT make biscuits, buns, rolls or cookies. By some inexplicable phenomenon they always come out raw on the top and absolutely burnt black on the bottom. I have tried lowering the oven temp, raising the temp,…
From Cupcakes to Cars
I went out for a girls night last Friday! We say a funny movie called “Mom’s Night Out”. Total chick flick, but so funny! We went out for desert after, and we started talking and telling our mommy stories. You all know I have 3 girls, A. has 4 kids ages 8, 6, 2, and…
Awkward
I feel like all my conversations end awkwardly. Not just with my close friends, but all of them, even when the pharmacy calls. I feel like all my phone conversations end with me either scolding, chasing, or otherwise being interrupted by kids (my husband counts as a kid in this instance.) Sometimes I wonder if…
Beyond the Fourth Birthday- A practical Gift Guide for 4 Year Old Girls
This month my “baby” turns four. My little girl is growing up. It makes me feel so old, but not as old as when my oldest turned eight. But I digress… that is a separate post all together. I would like to let parents, and aunts and uncles know about some helpful gifts for a…
Is he the Dentist or just Evil?
I made an emergency trip to the dentist today. I woke up this morning and my gum was swollen over my molar. There are a couple of dentists that work out of my dentist’s office. I usually go to Dr. Simony. I really like him. I have been his patient for 9 years. Well, he…
Such a girl!
My girls got GLITTER sidewalk chalk the other day and we used it yesterday. Well, it rained last night. When we went out to play this morning there was a shimmer on the sidewalk. I first thought it was glass. You know how the sunlight glints off the glass? It was not glass. It was…
Movie Time
How do you know if you have had a good time at the movies? If it is hours later, and you are readying yourself for bed and lots of popcorn is falling out of your bra. Such was the case for me this weekend when I took 2 of my daughters, 2 of my nieces…
Dinner Surprise!
Like most of my female friends and acquaintances I have fallen into the dinner rut. You know the one. We have spaghetti once a week because all I really have to do is brown some ground pork sausage and onions then boil water, throw in sauce and “ta-da”, dinner is served. We have the same…
How to Prepare for a Kid to Visit (Short Term) When You Don’t Have Kids
There was a point in time (100 years ago? Ok, really only eight) when I thought to myself “why can’t she just make her kid behave and stop breaking my stuff?” I thought this about a really good friend. Someone I had known for years before they had kids. I actually questioned her parenting techniques…
