There is a reason I start my day like this. Ah, having toddlers.  When the world reminds you that even dumping the laundry basket into the washing machine is no longer a luxury you have in life, evident by the dinosaur that I discovered in my daughter’s hamper tonight.  At least, I now know to […]

Dinosaur in the Laundry.

Ahhh, the sweet smell of 2.  In the first 12 hours of being 2 years old, my daughter Lo tried to eat my razor (which I hide behind shampoo bottles that apparently she can now reach-luckily no damage to the child…), and covered herself in poo. I get carried away for my kids birthdays….on purpose.  […]

With kids, I never know what I’m going to get.  That’s a given, right?  But, to a certain extent, I feel like sometimes I know exactly what I AM going to get. Like, after a long morning at Soak City with my kids, I’m going to get a long afternoon of quietness while they nap.  […]

“Mom, look!  Friends!”  Brianne excitedly states. It seemed the discussion we’d had a month ago about the mayflies being harmless has finally managed to sink in.  Either that, or more-likely she forgot about it and decided herself that these bugs are fun to pick up by the wings and make ‘friends’ with.

When I found out that Brianne (now 4) was a going to be a girl, my thoughts…not immediately…but quite quickly, drifted to dance.  Having spent my entire childhood taking dance lessons, I could not wait to share the sport with her.  Finally, it seemed, at three, I signed her up. Brianne watches “So You Think […]

Here we go.  Four years old, and a week out from two.  My girls have entered ‘the rivalry zone.’ “Mom!  Lo pushed me!  She just pushed me!  Mom!  Lo just pushed me again!” Brianne complains. “Mom!  Bee…is….pushing…me…..Mom….Beeeeeeeeee…..iiiissss….ppppuussshhhhiiinggg…meeeeeeeeeee.”  Lo whines. This is the scene all day long.  Like building up the stamina to run miles at […]

Aware that I say it over and over, I’m still going to say it again.  My kids remind me that the small stuff is the best stuff.  Most recent reminder?  The Butterfly House on Mackinac Island. I truly expected it to be some ‘Chevy Chase Ball of Twine’ stop to kill time while the horses […]
