The Streaker.

It’s a well documented fact that kids like to take their clothes off. In particular, if you have a child within the age range of say, 2-4, you know this fact is true AND you’ve no doubt seen plenty of nakedness around your house by now. Thankfully I have two children within that age range, [...]

Men & Household Chores…Scandanavia Rocks them.

It’s long been a fantasy of many women to find a man that will share 50/50 the household chores and childcare. Thankfully, my husband is among one of those men (well, at least most of the time). But some are not so lucky…
According to an Oxford economist, marriage and cohabiting rates in developed countries are [...]

A Yo Gabba Gabba Analysis.

What on earth is this?

And THIS?

And THESE?

My girls have fallen head over heels for these creepy, oddly shaped, troubling characters from the TV show Yo Gabba Gabba! I’ve tried all sorts of ways to ban them from my house, but it seems every time I turn around, one of them is knocking at my door.
Today [...]

My Life Has Come to This…

As parents, we put up with a lot of stuff. Buggers. Poop. Drool. Fighting. Crying. Fussing. Whining. Biting….from our kids that is.
Augh, yes, that 24/7 job with those cute, curious, cuddly little sweeties that we tuck into bed every night and feed continuiously every day.
On a good day, I tell myself “They’re worth it.”
On a [...]

The Boston Mafia and Gangster Nicknames

I’ve decided to continue with my Boston theme this week because there is just so much juicy stuff to write about while on my vacation.
Like the MAFIA.

Yes, the Mob is alive and well in this city – although they don’t quite resemble the hardened gansta’s they used to be. In fact, besides the fierce nick [...]

Lost in Translation

I haven’t been able to post as much this week because I am on a fun-filled vacation up here in Boston, MA with the family.
And along with this awesome vacation comes the unexpected.
I’m a southern girl which makes me a target of teasing up in these parts. Apparently I pronounce things differently like “hot doooog” [...]

Hurrah for Mr. Jefferson!

As a graduate of the University of Virginia (in my humble opinion, one of Thomas Jefferson’s greatest accomplishments), I am always interested in “all things Jeffersonian.”
In honor of the 4th of July, I felt the urge to post this totally hilarious and politically incorrect mark-up of the Declaration of Independence.
It seems college kids have a [...]

A Girl-less Memorial Day

It’s a girl-less Memorial Day here in the land of “pink.”
My parents took all three of our little darlings for the long weekend. ((insert tears of joy))
So, hubby and I have had lots of alone time.
What exactly have we done with ourselves?
Well, for the first hour our daughters were gone, we sat and contemplated “what [...]

The Day After…Mother’s Day.

The day after Mother’s Day is like recovering from a hang-over. You vaguely remember all of the treats, laughter, and blissful indulgence – but by the next morning, you still can’t figure out exactly what the big deal was all about and your life pretty much returns to the state of motherhood you once knew. [...]

An Ode to Mother Nature

Mother Nature is a force not to be reckoned with.
As with any mother, she can be loving and nurturing – allowing our gardens to grow and the warm sunshine to tan our skin. Or, she can be cranky and angry – ushering in cold rainy days and treacherous ice storms galore.
And, like most of us, [...]
