Aka: Someone called me a “bad***” and this is why: There are a few things in this world that really make my blood boil. One of those things is bullying. I feel this way partly because I was bullied for almost all my years in elementary school. To this day I still remember the little [...]

How to Make Your Children BEG for Vegetables
I have admitted repeatedly (hoping confession is good for the soul) that I am not the world’s best cook. Or even the world’s second best cook. Really, the world screams “uncle” when I cook. Aware of my one fault, I have attempted to make up for it in other ways so my family isn’t completely [...]

I Wish He Represented MY District
Ever since Ryan(8) started to talk we have suspected that he has a future in the legal profession. He has shown excellence in the field of debate. He has a passion for justice. He has a gift for finding the loophole. Should we send him to third grade or law school? I am now wondering [...]

Pear Honey – Blue Ribbon Quality!
When it comes to my mad skillz in the kitchen, they are pretty much non-existent. My kids’ favorite meal is Hamburger Helper and my husband usually just looks at what I’m cooking, then fixes something separate for himself. And, to answer your question, YES I find that insulting but I am so used to it [...]

The Christmas Quilt Picture Story of 2007
At my first baby shower (pre-three boys) my mother-in-law gave me a Christmas quilt. Each year my children are subjected to posing with it for holiday photographs. Last year my mom and I once again took the boys into Sears Portrait Studio at Golden Triangle Mall. I was relieved when I noticed the studio was [...]

WHO THREW THE ANVIL?
I have noticed that every once in awhile I have “yelled” something unusual at my kids. And by “yelling” I mean a hasty order with a slightly raised voice out of pure exasperation. I first documented this phenomenon almost two years ago with the following phrase. “Take the baby’s shoes out of the fridge!”–Holly, November [...]

Suburban Legend
Awhile back Ryan(7) had worked on his school work well all morning so I decided to take the three boys out to lunch as a treat. I didn’t have the energy to endure pizza and games so I decided to take them to Life’s a Beach (a local restaurant that has a beach outside). The [...]

Diary of a Quarantined Mom
I had planned to get on a flight to Cleveland, Ohio, this afternoon at 2 p.m. to throw a big bridal bash for our beloved Aunt Cindy. Instead, I’m fretting for the safety of my unborn baby as I sit in quarantine for the next two weeks in my own home under doctor’s orders. Let [...]

What Not to Wear: PJ Edition
The surprises never stop with boy #3… One of the things I have enjoyed about having boys is their total lack of interest in what they are wearing, when they are wearing it and who sees them wear it. Oh, I have had the occasional request demand for blue clothing or power ranger attire, but [...]
