I would love to keep this post completely wordless. The simple fact that I am posting these terribly embarrassing pictures and video are proof that I have lost it. Despite the embarrassing nature of this video and the tight neon outfit that I was wearing, these images represent the most fun I’ve had in a…
Ovaltine Awesome Summer Giveaway
When I was a kid, Summer time was about playing outside all day long. Summer was about swinging and swimming and sweating. If I asked my kids about Summer today, I bet they would say the same thing. My favorite childhood Summer time memories occurred in Lake Tahoe. Before I was born, my grandparents had…
Heart and Soul
Normally, when the kids pluck at the piano, I can’t wait for them to stop. Only KitKat has taken piano lessons. Necco is my violinist and guitar player. Reese has recently showed some very promising piano skills. She has my Grandma’s ear for music and can pick out a song on the piano despite the…
Am I Bugging You?
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…
Bed Bugs
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…
Laughter – The Best Medicine
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…
A Case of Mistaken Identity
My kids love to check out books about dogs from the school library. Just the other day, Reese brought home an encyclopedia-sized Dog Breeding book, and while it was here, the kids couldn’t get enough of it. Reese even agreed to play with my hair (the ultimate mom-pampering time) if I would read her a…
25 Ways to Annoy Your Mom
Kids have an amazing ability to be annoying. Your kids don’t do any of these things, do they? Stand next to her bed while she’s sleeping and whisper “Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom.” until she wakes up. Stand next to her bed while she’s sleeping and poke her arm – gently – until she wakes up….
Mommy Make-Over
Alternately titled: Why Little Girls Should Not Be Allowed to do Mommy’s Make-up Reese, age seven and a half, is currently fascinated by my make up. And since I love to be pampered, I have agreed – twice in the last week! – to let her give me a make-over. The first time she did…
Kids and the F-Word
When I was newly engaged and was waiting for my engagement ring to be ready (it was behind schedule and I was heading home in a few short days to take engagement pictures), CandyMan broke the news to me that the ring would not be ready for our pictures and our trip. I was steaming….
