Somewhere in between our trip to MN/WI and my vacation to New York with Hubby, my Dude turned 10! TEN! One-Zero!
That number uses 2 digits. I’m not sure I like that. I won’t go on and on about how wonderful and sensitive and great and handsome and smart and fun and goofy he is or [...]

When I’m Eight
Around the campfire . . .
Princess: I think when I’m 8 I’ll stop calling you Mommy and start calling you Mom.
Me: Why when you’re 8?
P: Because I’ll be old enough to call you Mom then.
Me: But Jason is almost 10 and he still calls me Mommy most of the time.
P: So. I think when I’m [...]
I Had Bubblegum
I’m allergic to bubblegum. Not all gum . . . just bubblegum. I can’t have bubblegum or anything with bubblegum in it. No Blow Pops or bubblegum ice cream for me. Apparently, I can’t even kiss someone who’s had bubblegum in the past 24 hours or I have a reaction. I found this out when my kiddos [...]
Frequent Flyer Miles
The Tooth Fairy is getting some frequent flyer miles coming to our house lately! Princess lost her 2 teeth last weekend, and Dude lost his first molar yesterday! 3 trips to the Boedie Abode in one week.
And apprently the Tooth Fairy thinks that molars are worth $2 each. WTH?!?! I guess that’s what happens the [...]
First Day
Today, my baby starts first grade. Yup - Ms. Princess is a FIRST GRADER! And Dude - he’s going into the 4th grade. 20 minutes until we leave for the bus. The kids? They are SOOOOO excited - and that makes me way happy.
Princess asked if she could get a new outfit for the first day [...]
Goodbyes Are Tough
6 years ago, Dude started preschool at Hope Montessori. It was a tough day to not have him going to his regular daycare at Ms. Kathie’s house anymore - he’d been at her house since he was 10 weeks old! It was also tough because Princess was still going to Ms. Kathie’s, and having them [...]
Godmothers
There are two main types of Godmothers . . . Fairy Godmothers and Regular Godmothers. I’d like to take a moment to compare the two.
Fairy Godmothers turn pumpkins into coaches that take you to the ball
Regular Godmothers turn pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns that roll down the steps like a ball
Fairy Godmothers turn rags into beautiful ball gowns
Regular [...]
No More Aminals
Ho Hum . . . my Princess is growing up. Darn thing decided to learn how to READ well. She brought a book out to read to me yesterday - it was something about “Blah blah blah the Animals” - very exciting book. There were some big words in there that she did great at [...]
I Hate It When They Get Smart
You know what I mean.
You used to be able to talk about anything and everything in front of your kids, simply by spelling the words because, ah HA! They couldn’t spell yet!
You used to be able to write notes to each other about anything and everything right in front of your kids because, ah HA! [...]
He’s Not Shy - Most of The Time
When I was growing up, I was shy. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve always been independent and willing to try new stuff and all that jazz, but I was shy. Shy to ask an adult for something. Shy to be singled out (I still hate being the center of attention!). Shy to try out [...]
