Move aside smartphones, The Planner is my antiquated black date book that I actually (gasp!) still use a pen and pencil to write in as I plan my family’s schedule. It is precious. It is revered. I treasure it more than any other object on this earth. I eagerly await every year for Staples to […]
The Ubiquitous 5th Grade Graduation Pic
Apparently there are now graduations for every occasion from the completion of the baby nursery at church to the celebration of doctorate degrees. Knowing this, if my children choose to go on to graduate school, I anticipate attending an average of 19 commencement ceremonies per child (poor Grandma and Grandpa having to sit through that many tedious […]
Target
Actually looked up the definition of mecca on www.merriam-webster.com, b/c obviously, this is a serious, research-supported, blog: “a place regarded as a center for a specified group, activity, or interest ” Lovely, Mirriam-Webster, but I think if you would have just put the word “Target” behind the word “mecca”, everyone would have understood. What is the […]
Hallmark Christmas movies
I could probably just post the title and end it there. All of you women would understand–there really isn’t anything more to say. Sure, Jesus is the reason for the season, but is there any other way to write Christmas cards or wrap gifts without the precious cheesy Christmas love stories unfolding in the background? […]
Do you want to give a dollar to…??
NO!! Assuredly, this will make me seem cheap (which I am) and earn the scorn of some of my readers, but I’m sorry, I am just not on board when the cashier at the grocery store asks me to give a dollar to x charity and then hands me coupons for a dollar-off brand name […]
And you just don’t care as much…
You don’t, plain and simple. While your first child never ate sugar until they were 16 and didn’t see a television set until they were well established in elementary school, I think my 4 mo. old daughter already has a crush on Minnie Mouse and is well versed on anything Disney…Sure, a perfect nap and […]
Duggar Style
So whichever side of the proverbial Duggar fence regarding their sanity in having 20 children you lie on, this woman is fascinating. I am currently reading their second book, A Love That Multiplies, and flat-out, I’m impressed. Where to begin…obviously, the major stuff wows me. Their children are polite, happy, and help out around the […]
The Fear of Santa Claus…
This is an amazing and hysterical way to scare your children into good behavior: http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home Takes a little bit, but is worth it. This is what we came up with for Isaac, check it out if you have some of that oh-so-plentiful free time :): http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/watch/mrxDHyhjaLUqya1X2SU6Vsw
Children’s Clothing
I seriously wish someone would have told me before having kids that I would need an advanced degree in children’s clothing. The amount of time and effort I spend addressing their attire needs is astonishing. I swear that there is a special skill set required for figuring out how to put on some of their […]
The AngelCare Monitor
Our daughter is a stomach sleeper. I know, (gasp), shock, horror…we are awful parents. My very colic-ridden son was too, and after we quickly figured out this is the ONLY way we could get him to sleep longer than 5 minutes at a time (literally), we became Those Parents, standing in line at Babies R […]
