Date Night Dont’s

in Everyday, Family on

One night a year the Hubs and I are gifted a night without kids.  Yes, just one night a year.  So we try and make the most of it.  The In-laws take the little one’s to their place, and feed them full of junk until they nearly puke.  For once, we don’t care…..we get the house to ourselves without kids! … View Post

Hey baby, What’s Your Sign? Who knows?

in Uncategorized on

What’s the deal?   I don’t take a huge amount of stock in the signs and the stars….but apparently the world is way out of whack.  Changes in the earths alignment have caused the zodiac signs to change and they have added a 13th sign to the mix?  Ophiuchus.  Yah, I can’t say that one.  Our old system set up by… View Post

30 Days with Proactiv

I did it.  Accepted a challenge brought to me by the fabulous people of MomCentral and Proactiv.  I tried the New Proactiv system for 30 days.  When I decided to take this challenge, I did it with a very special person in mind.  My BlueEyed tween.

Cigarettes: Zero –Not a smoker, not much of a victory here. Dear Diary, Encountered very wrinkly old gal driving her besty in beat up ol car.  Their combined… View Post

The Pre-Teen Monster

in Family on

She has traded play mobile for karaoke. Picks Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Hedley over Crazy Frog or The Wheels on the Bus. Prefers Glee to the Wiggles. Squeals over a Bench sweatshirt…down with Barbie? T-shirts require bras. Good grief. Sometimes she will still hold my hand in the mall, but I know those days are numbered. Friends have become… View Post

It has been an adventurous, perhaps even hilarious year.  Just when I think I have finally hit a Mommy rut, life throws me a curve ball that keeps me on my toes. From hiring a plumber to fix my kitchen sink…but that idiot choose to knock some fabulous holes in my walls instead, to bringing new meaning to the words… View Post
