Crows Changed Thanksgiving
Pin itI wrote the following for my MOPS group’s newsletter earlier this month. I have tweaked it some – cut some words, cut a portion of the “Mommy specific” wording, and included a link… a bloggers prerogative. Thanksgiving is upon us once again.

It's Taper Week!

Pet Peeves
Pin itI have a static page that shares my growing list of pet peeves. This post is copied straight from what I wrote about my newest peeve: chains… Chain letters, chain emails, Responding to one is like treating a rash with a Brillo pad – it just makes it all worse. Answer one, then 12 [...]
NaBloPoMo

Truth be told…
Pin itAt lunch today I asked Olivia, “Did you tell your teacher you lost your tooth?” Olivia said, “Yeah, she went like this…” Livi opened wide her toothy mouth, sans 1, and mimicked her teacher’s look of surprise. Indeed. Livi added, “Except (chew, chew, chew)… Mom (chew, chew, chew)… I didn’t really LOSE my tooth. [...]
The Tooth Fairy
Pin itran 11 miles yesterday. So, the Tooth Fairy was very tired come nightfall. The co-Tooth Fairy was out of town for the night, so the Tooth Fairy could not call for “back-up”. Since it was a First Tooth, the Tooth Fairy could not disappoint the very excited Olivia. Did I mention the Tooth Fairy [...]
