Can I just say, “Fun!” I want to be up-front… I was given an opportunity to take all five members of my family to the Seattle Storm vs. Detroit Shock WNBA game on July 15th. We were treated to complimentary tickets, food, and even passes for autographs by a couple of the players - Sue Bird [...]

It Smells Like Jenny on the Spot
That’s what my 7 year old daughter said after watching a fireworks show on the 3rd of July. Yes, the 3rd. My community and another local small community around here do a “3rd of July” fireworks show. Though my own community puts on quite a 3rd of July display, this year we headed to the [...]

At first I thought this was funny, but maybe it’s just wrong.
***** In keeping with the “No, maybe that was more wrong than funny” theme… Here’s a little conversation one might have overheard at our dinner table not too long ago. Boy kid (eldest): I don’t want to sit {here}. Why can’t I sit right {there}?

Every Kids Needs Daddy – Happy Father’s Day, Dads!
I believe men really get a raw deal in these days of such progressiveness. And maybe I shouldn’t use this video in a courtroom to defend my forthcoming argument on why I think kids need they daddies. But, c’mon. That was AWESOME. I read/see/observe slam after slam after slam on how poorly men behave, dress, [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday – My Children Answer
That latest “rage” over there on the Facebook is this meme where one asks one’s child(ren) a list of questions about oneself. The directions say to write their EXACT answers. Can I just ask, “Why do I put myself in these situations?” SOme kids talk about all the fabulous cookie-making their moms do with them, [...]

You missed out on a delicious chocolate malt Sunday p.m.
My great-grandmother passed away over 10 years ago. I adored my Grandma Sue. I still do, and I feel an ache in my heart because I miss her. I wrote a short post about her back in November. My great-grandma… she rarely shared about her childhood. I tried to help her fill out a “grandma” [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day. Really.
I mentioned yesterday that I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t even know if “Valentine’s” should have an apostrophe. Sheesh. If it wasn’t for the glitter I think I’d shoot Cupid with his/her (yeah, another reason I don’t “get” it) own arrow. But I am actually trying to spread some love [...]

Sisters and the bond of love…
I love my sister. She is bolder and sassier and not older… and taller, but I’m not bitter. I like being the shorter, older sister. Every girl’s dream… Incidentally, she and my alter ego get along famously… like melted butter on warm banana bread. What? I have no idea… My sister and I used to [...]
