Around these parts, it’s a big deal to get to give our pet dog (a “Boxweiller”) a bone. She doesn’t get them too often, so if she’s being good and you happen to be the one nearby, it’s fun to give her the treat. They aren’t really bones, but a variety of different snaps that [...]
This week, Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer is once again hosting
a Backwards Works for Me Wednesday listing. What she means
is this: “Instead of posting a piece of advice, ask for some.
Do you have a specific household/ parenting/etc. challenge
that has you stumped?”
So, here’s my deep, profound question for all the world:
How do you get out (or [...]
My kids are completely in love with a documentary-style show called “Jon & Kate plus 8.”If you haven’t heard of it, the show follows the antics of the Gosselin family in Pennsylvania. They have eight children. Let me qualify that by saying that the eight children are seven and three. Yup, seven year-old twin girls and [...]
Evan’s hair is starting to get long enough to notice. We can actually put a tiny barrette in it for a few minutes. (It may actually last longer than that, but we aren’t sure if it’s falling out, or she’s pulling it out, or one of her brothers is taking it out.;) )
At times, I [...]
Ever wonder how Superman prepares for those unexpected landings?
Now you know. Connor taught him everything he knows.
Seeing as how I’ve been pregnant for (almost) five-and-a-half years straight, it’s easy for me to sometimes feel, well, ginormous and blimp-like. Taking that into consideration, I’ve learned to take compliments where I can get them. Some might call it “fishing,” but since I don’t ask for them, I don’t call it that. I just [...]
I know that’s the slogan for White Castle, but I don’t really have any cravings for their “sliders.” This pregnancy has been full of strong cravings that seem to last 2-5 weeks at a time, then something new hits.
For a couple of months, I craved Whoppers (hold the onion, please) from Burger King… I’m sure they’re [...]
Remember when that was the word for faking someone out in the late 80’s / early 90’s? Well, my darling Baby F is helping me relive those days.
This is my fifth baby, sixth pregnancy, so I know a thing or two about Braxton Hicks contractions. You’d think, anyway. But for the past week, every evening, [...]
I warned you that Brady’s been full of crazy humor lately.
Last night, they were given the rare treat of sharing a Sprite. Brady polished off his portion in record time, then quickly proceeded to belch loudly. (Another proud parenting moment…)
He immediately turned to Andy and loudly said, “Andy, I burped like a man, didn’t I?!”
Yikes. [...]
We’re still battling those nasty colds I mentioned earlier this week. I woke up this morning with absolutely no voice. If I try REALLY hard, I can barely squeak out a few audible words, but it hurts to do so.
I had a revelation because of all this, though. When I’m really quiet and whispering, my [...]
