Toddler Tuesday: TV can be Useful
Toddler Tuesday, where I relive Junior as a little kid. When life was easier, the tantrums were just for show and he wasn’t too big to sit in the time-out chair.
I’m not much of a TV person.
If that doesn’t seem like a big deal to you, consider this: I come from a family of [...]
Over-decorating the House
In case you missed it, Thanksgiving 2010 is over. Done. Finished. It’s time to toss out the pumpkins, pack away the gourds and stop trying to turn leftover turkey into something edible. In fact, it’s now time to move on to the next holiday, the “Making Sure You Have the Most Christmas Junk on the [...]

Thanksgiving is in exactly 3 days–or maybe 2–yeah, I’ll admit it. I don’t remember if you count today or not. Or count the day of the event or not. I’m calendar-impaired, okay?

There are days when I just don’t know why I married an engineer. Oh, sure there’s that whole love thing—but seriously. When a normal person (me) and an engineer (Harry) marry, it can be an…adventure. Or at the very least, a union between two people of completely different species.

Flashback Friday: The First Time We Had the “Talk”
It’s Flashback Friday, so here’s another oldie, but hopefully a goodie. This one is the first time I ever had the “talk” with Junior. We’ve had the “talk” many, many more times since then, but this is my favorite instance. Because, you know, it doesn’t include the message I give him today–which is “ain’t no [...]
