There are a lot of things that don’t make sense to me in this crazy world of ours. Some are silly, some are serious. Many will always remain a confusing mystery to me. But all are things I simply can’t make sense of in my very logical, practical brain. On this 27th day of March…

Why 7 Might as well be 17
Kate is just weeks away from turning 7. SEVEN. I’m not shocked about how fast the time has gone so much as I am the fact that 7 seems so old, and how have I been a mom for this long, and bras, boys and puberty seem to be right around the corner. On Halloween,…
Why Kids are Second Class Citizens at Restaurants
My kids are well-versed in dining out. Partly because we do it twice a week. And partly because we bring them to all kinds of restaurants and teach them how to properly behave. (“Saving” their Nintendo DSs exclusively for waiting times in restaurants and doctors’ offices may have something to do with it, too.) There…
Christmas Card Friends
After reading the joyous Facebook announcement that Baby #3 had been born to a couple Craig and I know, the first thought that crossed my mind was, “Good for them!” My second thought: “I didn’t even know she was pregnant.” My third thought: “We’ll read all about their newest addition in their Christmas card letter.”…
Because the Easter Bunny, like all fabled creatures, comes in the night
There’s Santa. And the Easter Bunny. Oh! And don’t forget to add the Tooth Fairy to the list, too. All giant parental scams that we moms and dads are conditioned to instill in our own offspring (Or at the very least be expected to not ruin for any still-believing children). All of these timeless hoaxes…

For as long as I can remember, the girls have decorated my walls with their kiddie masterpieces. I don’t mind it, though I think more than a few people who have entered our home have given the side-eye to the scraps of paper dangling precariously from tiny pieces of scotch tape. Because they adorn every…
Tooth Evacuation, Mom-Style
It all started innocently enough. Kate’s bottom 2 teeth became wiggly, with one waaaaaay more wigglier than the other. She stopped biting into food with her front teeth because it bothered her too much. One of her 2 bottom teeth could be moved 90 degrees forward as well as wobbled from side to side. Then…
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 Things Worse than Losing your Wallet
On Tuesday morning as I was walking out the door with both girls to take Kate to school, I made the horrific discovery that my wallet was not in my purse. Nor in my coat pocket. Nor in the car. Since then, I have been thankfully reunited with my wallet, cash, license and credit cards…
