My 6 year old son is a story-teller. Here’s the 1st paragraph of his latest book: “Once upon a time there lived a snake family. And all they did was watch movies. And sit around. When their parents told them to clean they would not listen….” After some hysterical laughing, my husband and I looked [...]
When my kids were little and taking care of them (and my house) was my only job, I remember thinking ahead to the day when all of my kids would be in school and I would be in an empty house for 6 hours each day. When I was in the middle of the toddler [...]
I overheard this conversation at the park last week, came home, and immediately wrote down as much as I could remember. It was too entertaining (shock value!) to forget. 6 year old boy: “You took my girlfriend away from me!” 6 year old girl: “No I did NOT! She’s my friend. I didn’t do anything [...]

I hear that phrase almost daily from my 5 year old. “Am I bugging you?” Granted, he’s just being silly when he says it, but the answer is almost always yes. But I can’t help but smile and give him a hug when he asks me that question. AJ brought this paper home from school [...]
No, I’m not talking about the bed bug epidemic. I’m talking about the overwhelming, paralyzing fear of finding bugs and spiders in my bed at night. I don’t often talk about my childhood fear of bugs in my bed. In fact, my fear of bugs in my bed is one of those topics that I [...]
When is the last time you had a good laugh? That’s me laughing with Heather of the Extraordinary Ordinary at the Casual Blogger Conference I remember laughing til my side hurt a few weeks ago. Something out of the ordinary happened at home and CandyMan and I lost it. The kids stared at us while [...]
