Court Crochet (January 24, 2011)
Reading time 1-2 minutes. It’s a new sport: Court Crochet. You crochet while you son or daughter dribbles a basketball up and down the court with their peers. Quite a few dishcloths, afghans, lap blankets, and baby blankets can be produced with this sport. All you need it a small water-resistant bag that fits snuggly…

A Briden All Forlorn (January 19, 2011)
Reading time: 1-2 minutes. Mr. S is AMAZING!!! Seriously, this kid is just a gifted speaker. We have speech club in a couple of days and I decided that he should recite a poem since he gets so frustrated with the current stage of his reading skills (has the heart to read War and Peace,…

The Ultimate Search Engine (January 16, 2011)
Over the Christmas holiday we watched a few episodes of The Bloomberg Game Changers. (Yes, we’re nerds.) Anyway, pretty good biographies about business folks who have impacted the flow of business, social culture, and economics in recent history. The stories of Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft were featured, of course. I was impressed with the story…

No Red (January 14, 2011)
Let’s start off with I do NOT like to shop for clothes. Add to the equation that I have four boys. Factor in that I had a baby girl AFTER the four boys. The result? I am VERY blessed and my daughter won’t look like a ragamuffin. When clothes started pouring in for her from…

The Inner Circle: Boundaries (January 13, 2011)
Estimated Reading Time: 3-4 minutes. Do you ever feel like you’re losing control of your life? As if you don’t know how you got to where you are? And it seems like every time anyone does or says anything to you, there’s a major conversation going on in your brain. Your husband says or does…

Ma-muh-maaaa (January 11, 2011)
That’s my new name. Also known in first baby words as “Mama.” Yes, my little princess said Mama. And then she fussed. She was in the exersaucer at the time, so I looked over at her and said, “It’s okay sweetie, mommy’s right here.” And she settled and gave me the smile of the year.…

Management Monday: Taking Back My House (Jan. 9, 2011)
[Reading time: 3-5 minutes] Do you watch the show The Middle? This last week’s episode, titled Taking Back the House was an absolute riot! Only because it was so honest in it’s portrayal of how parents turn into the slaves of the children. Those of you that know me are more than aware that I’m…

Ski Day (January 6, 2011)
Now that’s a title that you hope will have photos, isn’t it? Well, I remembered the batteries for the camera. I just forgot the camera. I took some shots with the cell phone, but was too far away for good quality. Still, it was a quality day. I got to hang out with my daughter…

Influences of The Cosby Show (January 2, 2011)
Do you remember the episode of The Cosby Show when Rudy was taking extra tap classes to prepare for an upcoming recital? Cliff enters a tap-off with the instructor. When one finished tapping, he’d say, “Challenge,” but with a French accent so it sound like “Shah-lohnj.” Well, I’ve said it to myself: Shah-lohnj! Too often…

Growing a Mother (January 2, 2011)
I’m in Mom of a Teenager training. I just realized it today. Over the last few months, I’ve found myself recalling all the “wait till they’re 11 or 12” advice I’ve heard by my friends and mentors over the years. I hear those things…I listen…I tuck it away for when it’s needed. Now it’s needed.…

Why You Need Fashionistas in Your Life (August 27, 2010)
Because when you are not a clothes horse and you have a baby girl, you get inundated with clothes. Unless you have a fashionista friend or relative, you will be overwhelmed in a mere number of days. Trust me, you will. See post previous to this. My sister and cousin visited this past weekend. They…

Dinner Salad (August 15, 2010)
We missed dinner. I went to Office Max with J to take advantage of the teacher perks specials for 20% off, one day only. We missed dinner with the family. It wasn’t the shopping trip that made us miss the most comical meal in our household. It was Baby D. We weren’t there long when…
