Tweet I love my children dearly. I love each of them just so much that sometimes I’m overwhelmed with this strange and crazy I love I have for them. Like I want to hug them up and tackle them with kisses and awkwardly have my 10 year old sit on my lap in front of…
Tweet I know all (12) of you have been waiting to hear how our BIG DATE went last Friday night. The night started out quite fine – I dropped the kids off at my aunts at about 4:30 and then came home and watched the latest episode of Scandal OnDemand. When that ended at…
Tweet I sat down with Astrid’s preschool teacher today so she could walk me through the process on how the preschoolers are going to send a letter to a grandparent next week. “Did you not get the letter with the instructions?” She asked Yes, I got them. I just didn’t understand them..so I…
Tweet Astrid knows most of the lyrics to any Taylor Swift song. In fact she was up from 2am until 4am last night singing Trouble, Stay Stay Stay and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Sometimes the three songs became one long song of mixed-up lyrics, but that’s okay as the messages of…
Tweet Astrid, why don’t you go play with that little boy over there as he looks like he might be three years old too! Mom, I don’t play with boys. They’re stinky. Boys aren’t stinky, Astrid. But I don’t like boys, so I’m not going to play with him. He looks…
Tweet I paid $8 for parking today which really doesn’t seem like much for a big city, but I only needed to park there for 10 minutes so I could pop-in somewhere, and the only street parking I could find was beyond my parallel parking capabilities, which are slightly diminished in the winter when you…
Tweet Conversation from the couch… Eloise: Ohmygosh Astrid is that your butt I smell. Astrid: Probably, why? Eloise: Well that is just gross – I don’t want to smell that – go to the bathroom! Astrid: Well just stop smelling my gas then! Eloise: Well just making gas around other people! Astrid: Well just stop…

Tweet It’s always been my dream to be a savvy mom coupon/financial blogger who goes on and on about how easy it is to save money. Like on Mondays I will talk about the awesome coupons from the Sunday paper, Tuesdays I will rub in your face how I feed my family on $15 a…
Tweet I let Eloise stay home from school last Wednesday. Sure, I let her believe that she was staying home because her teeth hurt from her new retainer…but in all honesty I welcomed the thought of having her home to help me a bit. I was my sickest on Wednesday and Astrid was on…

You can clean-up vomit – from floors, walls, clothing, hair, bodies, furniture, your MacBook, doors, stuffed animals, pianos and crayons – without gagging once while simultaneously holding a child and wielding…
Tweet It’s 12:06am. I received my Barbie suitcase for my fourth birthday. My mom and aunts sewed all of the clothing. I still have most of it. When I was 18 and found out that my mom had kept most of my precious toys of childhood – my Baby Alive, my Barbies(including Midge),…
Tweet I’ve been watching Neil’s Annual Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert for four years now. And every year I swear we are going to contribute a song. And every year I chicken out because we are not very good. Neil hosts some amazingly talented people who make me weep when I listen to them. …
Tweet The Google search that brings the most people to my blog is ‘Small Boobs Blogger’ – which makes me wonder if there really is some lady out there known as the ‘Small Boobs Blogger’ but people keep finding me instead. And then they are disappointed – not because I don’t have small boobs…
Tweet We’ve had our elf (Her name is Sophie. I have no idea why they named her Sophie) for several years now. Two years ago I wrote a poem about our Elf on The Shelf – of course this was after she received third degree burns for sitting on a light bulb. And the poem…
Tweet It’s been five months since Eloise had her braces ‘installed.’ She used to laugh when I said that, but now she just rolls her eyes and walks away from me quickly. Sometimes I do believe she’s afraid my humor is contagious and she would truly hate to catch that. You know how those tweens…
Tweet I wasn’t going to link-up with MamaKat this week because life is crazy and I could not sit down and make thoughts become actual words on the screen. Or maybe I just didn’t have any thoughts at all. This happens sometimes when life is busy. You know those sometimes LIKE EVERYDAY EVER EVER there…
