How NOT to make a bed.

October 3, 2012 8 Comments

What I have been asking Grant each morning:  Did you make your bed…? What I will be asking Grant each morning from here on out:  Did you make your bed properly, or did you just pull the comforter up over a big wad of sheets, blankets and stuffed animals….? oy.

Sorry, but I have a “no reptiles” policy in place.

Grant’s class is studying the US Postal system… how to address an envelope… where the stamp goes, etc.  They are practicing writing letters too.  I received the following letter in the mail yesterday: (Just in case you can’t read it… here it is word for word.) Dear Mom, Your the BEST mom ever! You also […]

No more sugary drinks… (I don’t care how convenient their location might be.)

September 14, 2012 9 Comments

When we go camping or on a road trip, I treat it as the special occasion that it is and I buy drinks and snacks that I would not normally buy.  I am not a sugary drink/soda kind of  mom. One of the drinks we had on our last camping trip were these SoBe Orange-Carrot […]

Dude… not cool: When your child sees others bullying.

August 30, 2012 5 Comments

Bullies are nothing new.  Because some high profile (and tragic) examples of bullying have been in the news recently, most schools have anti-bullying policies now.  (Which is nice and all, as long as they don’t take it too far.  We’ve seen that happen, and that is a story for another day.) In my experience, the […]

Being a “Yes Man” isn’t always a bad thing.

July 27, 2012 4 Comments

This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. I know it came out a few years ago, but we only recently saw the movie Yes Man, with Jim Carrey. The premise of the story is that a guy who normally said no to everything was going to say “yes!” to every opportunity that presented […]

What do volcanoes and bologna have in common? Why, Grant, of course.

Scene: The dining room.  My good friend Dave is visiting. He is Grant’s Godfather and in that role, he is subjected to endless stories, games and all around squirrely-ness.  After one long winded story about the Lego ship he built, Grant said the ship crashed into a volcano. Dave: “Crashed into a volcano? Bummer.  OK, […]

I’m going to start letting Grant pick out my shoes.

This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. Scene:  I am working on the computer.  Grant is in the next room watching TV.  I cannot see him or the TV, but I can hear everything.  I hear the word Shoedazzle, whatever that is.  I assume that it’s like the Bedazzler, but specifically for shoes. […]

Make lunch fun: Sea Monster Hot Dogs

July 19, 2012 4 Comments

I shared this little lunch time project over at Skip To My Lou’s Craft Camp series last month.  I am not generally a “kids’ craft” kind of mom, but I still need to make Grant lunch, right?  Might as well liven it up every now and then. In this particular case, we made sea-monster hot […]

Evil, talking socks.

July 12, 2012 5 Comments

Scene: Getting ready for our annual camping trip and we’ve been charging the batteries for the walkie-talkies.  Grant had a dental check-up a few hours before and had chosen plastic vampire teeth from the dentist’s “goodie box” as a reward for being a good patient not squirming too much. I noticed a lone sock sitting on […]

The Atlanta TSA stole my son’s yo-yo.

June 26, 2012 18 Comments

So I just got back from The Haven Conference, which was fabulous and I’ll tell you all about it in the the next few days.  There were lots of great sponsors there and one of them, Fish Foam, was giving out toy yo-yo’s along with samples of their product. Most women aren’t that into yo-yo’s, […]
