I took the kids to a fishing store to pick out fishing poles. This seemed like a nice family activity. And it was if you look past the tour my son made me go on around the store. I was briefly reminded of the bait shop my dad used to take me to. All I [...]
The older two just finished the first session of swimming lessons. Madeleine swims like a mermaid. She loves the water and has taken to it like well, a mermaid. It fills me with pride when I see her do her best. Aiden is a pretty strong swimmer too. When he stays in the water. Most [...]
So I let Aiden choose his own haircut. Which led to a slight husband/wife disagreement. Keith was under the impression that I had them shave the sides bald and was horrified that his sweet boy had turned into a hard core punk rocking skateboarder. Not even close. He looks like this….This is pretty great if [...]
At 8:30 tonight I realized I hadn’t called my dad for father’s day. The time held signifigance for me because 8:30 was around the time that my ballet class usually ended. It ended at that time on a Wednesday for about five years. The part where the signifigance comes in? He forgot every single week. [...]

I am now fully into summer with the kids. Which is great. I love summer. Except for the humidity. I don’t care for how gigantic it makes my hair. I start off the summer looking like this…
And slowly with Maryland humidity I end of looking like this…
Except for playing the violin. Everyone knows I can’t [...]
If you have heard the one about the mom who likes to make hard boiled eggs for her children. They eat eggs so much that there is a constant supply of hardboiled eggs in the fridge door. I have shown both children where I keep the hardboiled
eggs or the “hot eggs” as Madeleine calls them. [...]
A few days ago I have begun to let the older two play in the front yard alone. Gasp! I also leave the BDD (big dumb dog) outside with them as a “watch dog”. The only thing that dog is capable of watching is paint drying. Seriously. She is terrified of the following: vacuums, whistles, [...]
And she literally flew away. Yeah, cheesy I know but…I could not resist. Keith took my babies away for the day and here is the part where I should say I missed them. But honestly, I didn’t. I can count on my hands the number of times they have been away from. I do [...]
Three weeks ago Aiden asked me if he could do an art project. I was completely behind this until I was given a list of his supplies… This is a direct quote…
“Ok, I am going to need some dollars and some googlely eyes”… It suddenly came to me that he was going to build this:
