While I am away from my computer for most of the day, enjoying my kids on their day off, I thought I’d share the tutorial that AJ, my 6 year old, wrote up yesterday at church. How to Make Bouncy Shoes with Springs and Duct Tape I have to be honest….he set out to make…
Don’t Get Mad. Just Blog About It
Alternately titled… “How to make homemade notebook paper” Today was an odd day. I decided to force myself to take a nap (I was significantly sleep-deprived after a really late night. Long story). So I slept til after lunch, ate a late meal, and then took a shower. I basically had time to get ready…
On Justin Bieber and Puberty
I fear that it’s time to have an in-depth sit-down conversation with my soon-to-be 11 year old son. Just this afternoon, as I sat on my couch taking a much-needed break, I overheard a conversation between my son and his 8 year old sister. As usual, I was tuning out their conversation until my ears…

Like Mother, Like Daughter – Wordless Wednesday #Linky

Tales of the Snake Family and Kids Who Don’t Want to Clean
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…
How to Avoid Cleaning the House in 10 Simple Steps
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…
Overheard at the Park
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…
