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 […]
A county fair… bad food, bad prizes and good fun.
Did you go to a county fair this summer? My neighbor Melissa said in an Instagram upload, that a county fair is the Olympics of People Watching. Oh, amen to that. It’s also the Olympics of Fried Food. It’s also the home of giant food… All. Kinds. Of. Wrong. And if you’re going to eat […]
The Atlanta TSA stole my son’s yo-yo.
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 […]
What’s the secret code for getting out of homework…?
I am soooooo glad it’s the end of the school year! I am tired of fighting The Battle of the Homework. Going through Grant’s papers I found this: The assignment was to look up a word and write the definition. While it would no doubt have helped if he had spelled concert correctly, he appears […]

Personally, I would have just started over…
My neighbors posted this sign on their garage over the weekend… Congrats. College Grad! Yep… nothing like planning ahead.

The ladies behind Seriously Shawn, Dandelion Wishes, Confessions of an Impulsive Addict and The Johanson Journey have started a series of weekly questions to answer. I appreciate that it is on Wednesday… the day I am most likely to be up to my eyeballs in laundry and have forgotten to make dinner. This week’s questions: […]
An open letter to Goodwill Stores….
Dear Goodwill, As a long-time bargain hunter and a avid DIY-er, I feel compelled to write you this letter. I understand that there are certain legal constraints that prevent you from accepting items like car-seats, high chairs and other baby items. However, what I am really wondering about today, is why you won’t take many […]
No symbolism here.
Conner has been needling Grant and just bugging his little brother in general.Grant got some scrap paper and drew a picture for Conner.I am thinking Grant is getting tired of Conner’s antics.I am also thinking that if Grant invites Conner to the beach, Conner should decline the invitation.
