Bouncing Baby Giveaway

UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #18, Christopher H. Thanks for all who entered! ——————– Babies. I love ‘em. They’re cute and little and they smell nice. Usually. Now that my “baby” is 8 years old, I’m definitely out of the diaper-changing, burping, being spit up on stage. Honestly, there were days I thought [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: Dreaded Diets

Its day two of my Special K Challenge Science Project…and so far so good. I’m not typically a “diet” person. My weight hasn’t fluctuated too terribly much over the last 15 years (except for having babies, of course), so when I feel the 5-10 “vanity pounds” start to add up, I know my present mode [...]

O, Tannenbaum

Since the Bike Accident Post-Op Clinic will be opening on Friday, I did a modified decorating job this year. No outside lights, no cute figurines and garland around the house, no Christmas card (go ahead, gasp). BUT, I did get the tree decorated and the stockings hung. That’s it. I mean, really. The two muscles [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: Keeping House

Well, it didn’t work. Try as I may, I couldn’t get my house to clean itself. And no one else jumped up to volunteer to scrub the toilets or sweep the floor. Imagine that! So I finally broke down and spent several hours cleaning my not-so-pretty house this weekend…illiciting the help of all, of course. [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: Cinching the Belt

I’ve said before that watching the news depresses me. And I rarely read the newspaper. I know. That’s probably not something to be proud of. But I’d have to be living under a rock to not know about the economic state of affairs in our country right now. Honestly? I’m not too worried about it. [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: Sweetheart

Well, after my hyper-mushy post yesterday, I thought I’d need to follow it up with a mushy poll. My hubby and I met in college. We were friends for a couple of years before he asked me out. Then it was only a matter of one year before we were married. I had just graduated [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: Letting Them Go…Or Not

I saw an interesting Dr. Phil episode yesterday. It was about moms who gave extreme amounts of freedom to their children and moms who “hovered” over every move their children made. One mom had controversially let her 9 year old navigate the subway system over several blocks in New York City. She felt that he [...]

Take a Poll Tuesday: The 50 States…

Last night after day three of Extreme Makeover: RV Edition, my husband and I took the kids for a spin and to get ice cream in the RV. On the way, we were dreaming and scheming of all the places we want to travel now that we have our new toy. Really…the possibilities are endless. [...]
