I’m still trying to process this one… I was reading today’s paper with the kids sitting next to me. My 3 year old son looks at the paper, points to a picture and says, “She looks like you, Mommy!” The good news: it was a picture of Heather Locklear! The bad news: it was her [...]

I’m sorry for the dramatic title to this blog and I’m sorry for another scary picture. I have to admit that I am a Halloween-junkie and am perhaps saturated with ideas often portrayed in scary movies hence my blog topics… Tonight, I was chasing after my 18 month old. I was following her down the [...]

Best diet ever… Ok, I didn’t really lose weight off my person, but I did lose 30 pounds of responsibilities when I dropped my son off at his pre-school class today. I had 2 hours of freedom! I still had my 18 month old with me as we did some girly shopping, but 1 kid [...]

I don’t have my own iPod. I don’t have any time where I’m alone long enough to listen to a song. My husband was sweet tonight, though, and while he took the kids outside for 20 minutes, I borrowed his iPod and danced while I cleaned up the kitchen. It was really fun and here’s [...]

I didn’t recognize the bird, so we came in and got on the computer and found this site: http://www.whatbird.com/ You enter the info about the birds you see [...]

Even when my husband is home, I’m afraid to go to our basement after 9:00 by myself! Seeing as our laundry room is down there, my laundry duties end promptly at 9:00 p.m. Tonight, I sent my honey down to retrieve the clean laundry (it was after 9:00 after all). While he was downstairs, I [...]

The other night I was carrying a sleepy toddler back to her bed. It was the middle of the night (don’t ask) and the house was pretty dark. I am semi-blind without my glasses carrying this sleeping sack of potatoes. I don’t need extra hurdles like toys or clothes to step on, but least of [...]

Oprah says breathe: I guess we are all supposed to take 5 deep breaths in the morning and 5 more at bedtime. By “we,” I am referring to those of us who are so easily swayed by what Oprah says. So, obviously, I’m breathing right now. Grey’s Anatomy: I knew it. I re-watched the finale [...]

This is my latest craft project…(found on Martha Stewart’s site) Keep warm all winter with these easy-to-make fleece hats. Fleece is wonderful fabric for winterwear because it’s soft — not itchy — lightweight, durable, and machine washable.
