Are you familiar with Corsa, the sweetest dog in the world? The one who does naughty things and gives herself away with her guilty dog smile..? Doesn’t she look sweet? She’s not too good about hiding the evidence when she has gotten empty cat food cans and licked them clean though… I think her cat […]
Parenting in public? I’m OK with that.
Before anyone gets all up in arms and wants to call CPS on me, let me explain. In recent headlines there have been two instances of parents who publicly “humiliated” their kids on Facebook for being disrespectful and bratty. One man took his revolver, unloaded several bullets into her laptop and posted the video on […]
I eated a butter too…
Dear Family Members, Please keep the dang lid on the dang butter dish. I have told you 50 million times that the cat keeps getting on the counter and eating the butter!! Again and again and again. I nag because I NEED TO. Keep the lid on the butter dish! Thank you. Repetitively, The Management
A crazy old lady… but in a very good way.
My mom is quite the adventurer. Several years ago she and my dad to a cruise to Alaska and while there, she rode a zipline through the forest. She loved it and she has been asking my dad to build her one in their back yard ever since. (My dad has so far refused.) Mom […]
Have a nuclear Valentine’s Day!
Grant has been drawing lots of little Valentines for me. Lots and lots of drawings. To mix it up a bit, he has begun making heart shapes around the house for me. Sometimes they’re out of Legos, sometimes out of blocks or Crayons. He often will arrange the heart shape while I watch. That was […]
Wine marinated Beef Stew, served with a side of Funny. mmm mmm good.
Yesterday Giada De Laurentiis was on The Today Show sharing some recipes for comfort foods. One of them was for a Chianti marinated beef stew. Sounded good. I didn’t have the exact ingredients that she used, so I winged it. I used a Cabernet to marinate the meat instead of Chianti. Grant was watching the wine-marinating process. […]
2012: The Year of the Chopstick
Little boys aren’t known for their lovely penmanship. We have had an ongoing problem with little boys who don’t hold the pencil properly and who write their letters from the bottom up instead of the top down. (Take a quick moment and draw an I, a T and an F for me… from the top, […]
It’s OK… I’ve seen worse answers from Miss America contestants.
Grant is the Superstar of the Week this week at school. In addition to getting to be first in line for recess and to go to the lunch tables, he gets to create a timeline of his life, share trophies and favorite toys, etc. He also gets to fill out a questionnaire about himself, by himself. It […]
The art of the Thank You note.
As much as we have email, texting and instant messaging, I think there is just no substitute for a hand-written, snail mail Thank You note. I have always encouraged the boys to write Thank You notes, especially after their birthdays and Christmas. You know what else there is no substitute for….? Checking your child’s note […]
How do you get to Carnegie Hall…? Through the front door of course. Duh….
Mitch has been taking guitar lessons and is now playing in a band with a group of students at the music school. Their instructor sets up little “recitals” around town… usually at coffee houses or in restaurants. The businesses like them because they come with a built in audience of family members and friends (all […]
