The title of this post might lead you to believe that I’m gonna discuss how to be good to planet Earth. But you’d be WRONG! I don’t really care about the planet. I kid, I kid. I care a little. Ok, so really this is an idea that I picked up from Enna’s blog and [...]
For the last week we’ve been helping Honey bunny with a project for school. She’s required to complete a report on the planet Saturn (her choice) which includes:
1-2 pages written by the child including a summarizing paragraph,
a title page,
a bibliography,
3×5 card with 4 facts,
for her oral presentation,
a 3-D model of the planet
Now, she has known [...]
Well, it seemed to me to be an ordinary, run-of-the-mill sort of day, boy-o was I going to find out different. I think they have a saying for this… ignorance is bliss. So we did the usual things during the day; school, work, karate, but it was during our ride home that I got hit [...]
Yeah, hi! So I don’t know about you but I’ve been so swamped that I seriously don’t know which way is up. It seems like every single blessed day is jam packed with so much activity. And the last couple weeks were the worse, worst, worstest? Between getting ready to go to Las Vegas, coming [...]
This is one of those, ‘I’m SO not prepared for this’ posts. I just want to bang my head on the table in frustration. She refuses to listen to my suggestions, argues with me about what the teacher wants, and just generally whines about the HORRIBLENESS of homework. Plus, she’s whining about [...]

First I must tell you about the ordeal of obtaining the costumes. Usually the gremlins have a clear idea of what they want to dress up as for all Halloween events and this year was the same except that Pumpkin decided to dress in the same costume as Honey bunny. To say this [...]
I’m trying to decide whether to give you the long version or the short version. Or the medium short version. Or the semi-long version. How much time have you got? Well I’ll give you the semi-medium long version because you’re probably skimming anyway.
Ok, here goes, just a bit of back story first. Honey bunny [...]
The husband and I do a fairly decent job of dividing up tasks related to the children. Well, all tasks if you get right down to it. So when he has to go out of town for any reason & for any length of time it throws the whole system out of whack. It’s not just me that feels [...]
My little Pumpkin is 3 1/2 years old now. She has developed such a personality. Um, yeah, the personality of a DICTATOR. She has taken to ordering us around for EVERYTHING, anything, and even the most ordinary of things. Like how we should all sit at the restaurant table for the birthday dinner of my [...]
