Why I Will Never be Freshly Pressed

by 13 Comments

My pictures of children are of my children at commercial places like Disney World’s Epcot and not an ethnic and interesting child in Vietnam or some other culturally rich part of the world. I live in a subdivision. When we do go on vacation it is to places that don’t require a 22 hour plane ride and 9 vaccinations for each child.

I have never “lost” a child when we are out and about. I know it can happen easily and I also know we have been fortunate with three boys and twins to boot. it is common knowledge, to parents of twins, that they only run in opposite directions.

“Keep Your Heads Out of The Toilet!” (best preschool advice ever)

by 24 Comments

When sending our twin boys off to preschool telling them to “keep your heads out of the toilet” wasn’t a pearl of wisdom I thought necessary.  I was wrong.

One Step Forward For Mom But Two Steps Back For Technology

One step forward for Mom and two steps back for technology. I tied the kitchen cordless phone to its base with twine. It had to be done.  It had to be done mostly to just remind the kids to put it back. They rolled their eyes at me. They are the cellphone generation that just […]
