Spring break is upon us. Many families like to take this time as an opportunity to get away. I don’t believe that you have lived, until you have traveled in a car with children. We decide to take the kids back home to visit Grandma. I have already devoted an entire post to what it […]
Living with Little Boys
Every family is different. In this family the boys greatly outnumber the girls. This is a reality that my daughter and I have learned to accept. Anytime you have three children of the same sex living under one roof, it tends to change the dynamic of the home. Let me explain what it is like […]
Kids’ Seminar: How To Live In Your Parents’ Home And Make Mom Happy
There are certain things that my kids do that drive me wild. If they are driving me crazy, then one day they will drive the world crazy as well. It is my job as their parent to raise them into adults that the world can stand one day. When dealing with children, one should never […]
When Children Suffer Life’s Disappointments
It was almost as though the words weren’t real. Spelling bee? What do you mean you won the spelling bee? My child? How could this be? I spell check the simplest of words. Such as “simplest.” My daughter won her class spelling bee. Now she was to represent in the school spelling bee. I was […]
Darth Vader Is In This Post. Need I Say More?
My son was home for the second day in a row. All the other kids had gone to school. Even his baby brother was at preschool. It was just Middle Man and Mom. And his stomach bug. I have always felt guilty that he wasn’t the baby for very long. He was only five months […]

Earning My Old Lady Diaper Changes One Sick Kid At A Time
“Mom, I was so tired and cold all day.” Those were the first words that came out of her mouth when I picked them up from school. I didn’t think too much about it. Sometimes she has TINY inclination toward the dramatic. Then at home, she opted out of snack. Only eating a couple of […]
Having Your Home On The Market Can Take A Toll

For Me The Holidays Are All About Traditions
It is Christmas Eve. Arguable the best day of the year. Today is full of promise for what COULD be tomorrow. Anything is still possible. The best part about this time of year are the traditions. The things that you and yours do to make it a special time. I love traditions. We have a […]
