Stupid Dog (or Human?) Tricks

Ever since adopting Tessa Belle, Craig has been very serious about dog training. He’s done a fantastic job with the dogs, even refreshing Jack‘s bag of tricks he learned long ago. The video below is of both dogs showcasing their new talent. Sweet 10 year old Jack has a somewhat modified version of the trick…

This photo is not doctored in any way

This was the hose in my backyard. I feel fortunate to have even caught it on camera. It’s so surreal and freaky, yet totally, completely awesome. Here’s my frozen hose from a different view. Have you ever found ice that seems to have frozen mid-air? This post is part of #iPPP (iPhone Photo Phun), where…

5 reasons why we all need ghost writers

Blogging, while an engaging and entertaining experience, can also be something of a time suck. There comes a day when you realize you have lost half your day because you were sitting in front of a computer screen typing LOL as quickly as you could. Luckily, there is an easy solution to this blogging conundrum,…

Damn You Autocorrect, BBCD-style

How apropos that an #iPPP post includes an image from an iPhone autocorrect “incident”? This happened a few weeks ago, and every time I read Craig’s line – “Honks I found it” – I still totally crack up. On a different note, I wrote a letter to an over-the-top braggy mom which is part of…

The Gift: Hooters-Style

This is a husband story like no other. Courtesy of Jessica of Four Plus An Angel. Her guest post is truly divine, will make you laugh, and will make you want to ring her husband’s neck. Without further adieu… – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –…

My Ideas for Economic Stimulus

If money were no object, I could immediately employ more than a dozen people for the following jobs and jump-start my (very) local economy: – Mail Grabber (Including bringing in FedEx and UPS packages from the porch) – Mail Opener & Sorter  (Multi-tasking skills preferred) – Bill Payer (Math skills test required) –  Ceiling Fan Cleaner-Offer (Ladder…

It is the Sabbath Afterall

I completely admit to being a “bad” Catholic. I grew up attending church every Sunday.  Did the CCD thing. Was baptized, received communion and confirmed. But beyond baptizing the girls, the only “holy” they get in their lives is when they go to preschool. In addition to attending chapel twice a month, Kate’s teacher does…

Bittersweet Ending

We mom bloggers think we are balancing the weight of the world on our shoulders with our blogging-mommy-household duties. But what if we added small-business-owner-and-full-time college student to that list? For Jessica of My Time as Mom (@JessicaTorres4), this was her reality until earlier this month. For many, graduation would signify less work and more free…

Caption This!

The idea of a photo caption contest is nothing new in the blogosphere.  I’ve seen many a blogger hold one from time to time, and it’s a regular feature at Mommy Shorts. The photo you’re about to view is legendary.  Much like the tale of the Loch Ness Monster, many have heard about this yet…

Do You Speak Mork & Mindy?

In my world, there are 2 Iulias.  The Iulia that is my sister-in-law, and the Yuliya who writes at She Suggests (@SheSuggests).  I was over-the-moon excited when I “met” Blogger Yuliya because she was the second person I’ve ever known to have that name. She also happens to have moved to the U.S. as a…
