I’m pretty much doing this all day. And since I couldn’t bring y’all with me… although we would’ve had fun. I’d love for you to go visit me over at these fine beach-like places. My Daughter Puked In A Restaurant And We Stayed For Lunch: She puked. We stayed. The waitstaff sucked. And I totally [...]

I know that it’s taboo to say that I had a second child to give my first one a sibling. It wasn’t the only reason, but it was a part of it.  I love having a sister, and I wanted to give that to E. Feel free to judge me. I don’t care because I [...]

If you don’t care about minor website changes, please scroll down for a funny video. I’m going to be fairly unplugged next week.  Couple that with becoming paranoid about my guest posts after reading about sites shutting down and guest authors having no access to their pieces, I will be slowly migrating old guest posts [...]

We went to a friend’s house for pizza, and the moment came when three out of four kids were missing and QUIET. I venture off and find a bedroom door closed. I slowly open it bracing myself for crayon-covered walls and a large dog being held hostage in the closet. Instead, my son is sitting [...]

Because I’ll need that 10 cents to pull some of them off. 10 Things To Do With Your Kids This Summer and PROBABLY Not Get Arrested 1. Build [...]
