When life gets in the way of blogging

July 13, 2012

I think one of the worst things a blogger can do is get to the point in their blogging career where you feel obligated to post and apologetic if you don’t. If you’ve been doing this for any length of time, I guarantee you’ll go through this if you haven’t already. It’s where balance is [...]

Why Crayons and Summer Don’t Mix

July 9, 2012

I knew there had to be a bump in the road. I knew that things were just going too well. We moved. We’re finally just about finished with the first stage of unpacking. This is the stage where many boxes have been unpacked, pictures have been hung, and it’s starting to feel like a real [...]

Raising a Homophonic Son

July 2, 2012

A few weeks ago, I dragged my family into downtown Baltimore for the Star Spangled Sailabration, a bicenntennial commemoration of the War of 1812. You know the war, I mean, right? The one that occurred in 1812. Actually, it occurred from 1812-1815 and according to my northern friends, Canada stomped us giving us no real [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: All About Dads

June 17, 2012

It’s Father’s Day. Let’s face it. There are a lot of dad issues out there. It just seems that it’s easier to find a good mom than it is to find a good dad. So do we really even need them? I gave some thought to my own dad and to my husband, the father [...]

How Nintendo Saved My Sanity

June 4, 2012

Long before I became  Nintendo Brand Ambassador, I was a big fan of Nintendo. I can’t remember what exactly my experience was with Nintendo before the Wii. I think my little brother had an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) although most of my memories seem to involve my mother glued to The Legend of Zelda. She [...]

Preschool Economics

April 24, 2012

I have a secret. A financial secret. I’ve never been a saver. Ever. I think I learned that behavior from my parents. They didn’t save either. It’s not that they were financially irresponsible. They didn’t save because they were using every penny they had to keep our household going. They wasn’t any money to save. [...]

April 9, 2012

Thanks to The Bully Project for sponsoring my writing. Visit their website to join the movement and learn more. — Something I’ve long suspected and often confirmed about the blogosphere is that we really are an island of misfits. Sure, there are the popular girls and the nerdy folks and the super duper smart people [...]

This Week is Bubblicious

March 23, 2012

Are you looking for a reason to celebrate? (besides the fact that it’s Friday and you made it through another week) Are you enjoying unseasonably warm weather and looking for something to get those kids outside? Are you kid-less and think that toys aren’t just for kids? If you said YES to any of those [...]

A messy bathroom is a sign of clean teeth

March 16, 2012

Does your bathroom ever look like this? Or this? Don’t lie. You know it does, especially if you’ve got children or a husband in the house (sorry, honey). And yes, I do clean on occasion. Those photos are from my son’s bathroom sink. And I couldn’t be happier. We started with the Listerine Oral Care [...]

Worst Mother of the Year?

March 2, 2012

I like being a mom. In fact, I love being a mom. Of course, we all have our moments when we’re pretty sure we could strangle our kids or even strangle ourselves. It’s hard and I’m the first to admit it. But generally, I think I do a pretty good job. I know that by [...]
