I can’t tell you how often I have made a huge pasta dish for dinner…..or maybe a meat and veggies with rice….only to have half of the kids insist on eating the pasta or the rice plain. No sauce. No meat. No veggies. No nutrients to speak of? I’ve never understood the desire to eat…
Second Cousins or First Cousins Once Removed? GMYBS
Apparently, I’ve had it wrong for years. First cousins I understood. Totally clear. My first cousins are the children of my aunts and uncles. Got it. But what about the children of my Great Aunt and Uncle, or the children of my cousins? So confusing. Guess what? I found a handy chart detailing the cousin…
#cbc10 – Highlights of the Casual Blogger Conference
I proved to myself this weekend that I have been functioning on 85% adrenaline, because I was going strong until about an hour after my second class was over. Once I no longer had anything to anticipate or prepare for, my body (and my mind) slowly but systematically shut down. By Saturday evening, I looked…
Empowered – I Did It!
For the last several months, I have picked one of the Fishful Thinking ingredients to focus on for the month. Last month, when I found out that my dad has cancer, I was grateful to be concentrating on hope and goal setting. The timing was perfect. And now, as I took a huge step (for…
Give me Your Best Shot!
Earlier this week, we “broke in” the summer camp’s new swimming pool. Granted, the dogs who live at the ranch have been playing in the water since the pools were completed, but our kids were the first humans. Let’s just say that they had a good time, despite the cold water. Now, the kids are…
Dance Like No One is Watching
Today’s guest post is brought to you by the super fun Allison from Alli-n-son. Meanwhile, I am busy getting ready to jump into this conference business. Just a few more hours! I’ve never been good at letting lose, especially around new people, or people that I don’t see often, or sometimes even good friends. I’m…
Ready, Set
Here I go…. off to the Casual Blogger Conference and my first speaking engagement x2
Noodles & Company (How to Get Your Kids to Eat Healthy)
Last Friday, something unique happened. CandyMan and I only had three children. Necco was at girl scout camp and KitKat was at Hershey Park performing with her middle school chorus group. I was thrilled. Just a few days before, I had received 5 cards from Noodles & Company for free noodle, soup, or salad bowls….
The Talk
The first time I met Erica was during Bloggy Boot Camp. We sat together at the back of the room and chatted through the entire class. (Sorry to whoever was teaching!) We had an instant connection. Erica, author of Mommy’s Still Fabulous, truly IS fabulous….intelligent and fun and adorable all rolled into one. Today, Erica…
Silver Spring Soiree
Soiree: “an evening party,” 1793, from French soirée (from soir) “evening.” Group shot courtesy of Then Again Photography (aka Parenting by Dummies) Momzshare got together for another fabulous night of networking, chatting, and food this past weekend. Jessica McFadden of A Parent In Silver Spring hosted the event at the The Little Gym in Silver…
