After an hour of, “GO TO SLEEP. GET IN YOUR BED. QUIT PLAYING. GETINBED. QUIT. BED. QUIT. SLEEP. SILENCE!!!!” It did grow quiet. I have written before about the fact that silence is not, in fact…. golden. You see it was silent not because Lucy had fallen asleep. N-to-the-O-T. Instead, she was quietly making herself [...]

So. Like, yesterday… the kids and I headed over to Seattle for the evening. My hub’s business had their little launch party – MINDBLOOM…. maybeyou’veheardofit. Ifnotyouwill*ahem*. And also *fourglassesofwine-whoop!* BEFORE the party, the kids and I met Paul for dinner… over there at the Taco del Mar right there in the Pioneer Square. I love [...]

A Top 10 List: Things I Have Learned From My Children
*This piece was originally written for another site. However, despite my savvy, wit, charm and wicked-awesome… they chose a different path. Had they checked with Google, they might have seen my shizzle-esque SEO skillz… Who knows why a social media “push” would turn away a force such as myself? I have my theories, but in [...]

My Middle Child
For each of my children’s birthdays I write them a letter here… to read “someday”…. Sometimes I am a bit behind and I am NEVER early. My oldest and youngest got theirs “on time” this year, but not my middle daughter. Oh my poor middle child. Her birthday was in May. My calendar tells me [...]

Literally
Children. They are such literal thinkers, no? This morning at breakfast my 7 year-old daughter inquired about a song, Mom. You know that Annie song, “Tomorrow”?… It says, “Bet your bottom dollar”… Um… Is… Is that a bad song? It took a moment, but I realized what she was thinking… Can you imagine what was [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday – My Children, My Madness, My Joy… and Also My Digressionses
I woke up one morning. I got out of bed. I heard my Mama… And what did she say? She said, “What do want, On your breakfast bread?” I said, “JAM ON IT!” Heh. ‘Member that rap? Ah…. childhood. I’ve always been a wrapper at heart. Even as a blue eyed white girl… whose first [...]

Can I Be Totally Honest?
This weekend sucked. I was going to “fluff” up the “sucked” part and be all, “This weekend was Stinky Stinkerson.” But if I wrote that, the the “totally honest” part of my title would not have been “totally honest”. It was not a weekend of illness. Nor a weekend of tragedy. Nor a weekend of [...]

My Little Girls
Don’t let the picture fool ya. All that “primping”… all that pink. Because as soon as they step away from the mirror, one will hear/observe things like I experienced last night while we waited for big brother’s soccer practice to end… Olivia (7) sat on the grass (criss-cross applesauce-style) while Lucy (4) spun about like [...]

Safety!
This is what my kids yell after they fart. For if they are caught farting and do not shout “safety” the hearer/smeller of the fart yells “doorknob” and the fater must go touch a doorknob. This is commonplace in our home. Doesn’t matter if no one heard the fart. You’ll know it within moments. Like [...]
