The Bloggity
All Before Noon
I woke up this morning before the rest of the family members, as I usually do. Gathered my clothes together and headed to the bathroom, for a quiet shower. If all went well, I might even have a quiet moment to put my makeup on. I grab my favorite razor and jump into the shower. … [Continue Reading]
An Open Letter to: My House
Dear House, You and I have known each other now for about five years. We have a bit of a love/hate relationship, do we not? When I first met you, I was so excited about our future together. I saw great things for us. I would be responsible for keeping things clean and paying the… [Continue Reading]
And They Said She Couldn’t Be Taught…
You know, as a teenager (and possibly into my early…cough…twenties), I really thought that I had the world figured out. I knew just about everything I needed to know, and was such a wise, wise gal. Then I became a mother. And quickly came to the realization that I knew squat diddly. Zero. Absolutely nothing. So,… [Continue Reading]

The KITS come with everything that you need, including a netted habitat, and a little container that holds 3 to 5 Painted Lady Caterpillars. … [Continue Reading]
Comic Relief
Don’t let anybody fool you. Parenthood is tough! It drains you, worries you, exhausts you, stresses you, weighs on you, absorbs you…did I mention that it drains you? Parenthood is definitely draining. I always tell my kids that the hospital provided me with my very own straight jacket after giving birth to my firstborn, and that… [Continue Reading]
Dribble, Dribble, Drench
We recently celebrated my son’s 7th birthday, with a fun little party at my parents’ house. Since it was a warm, June afternoon, water games were on the menu. After running through the sprinklers for awhile, and enjoying a good game of Musical Sprinkler (think Musical Chairs, but without the…well…chairs), Granna sat them down for a… [Continue Reading]
