How to NOT transport a bunch of balloons…

Jenny On the Spot — Wed, 16 May 2012 21:12:55 +0000

A recipe for Balloon Bouquet Disaster… Fill 5 pink balloons with helium. Tie 5 helium-filled pink balloons to little metal doo-hickey on minivan backseat headrest. Drive with windows down…. because it is a nice day. Yield: 5 tangled helium-filled balloons forever married to the little metal doo-hickey on minivan backseat headrest, and no usable balloon bouquet [...]

Well HELLO there PicMonkey: A photo editing tutorial (of sorts)

Jenny On the Spot — Tue, 15 May 2012 06:48:33 +0000

Raise your hand if you tore your clothes like they used to in Biblical days when you heard Picnik was closing shop. *waves hand wildly* But friends! tear your clothing no more! Have you met PicMonkey??? First off, I have no relationship with PicMonkey… I am just a girl who has great fear of Photoshop [...]

I am either a terrible mother OR I am as thoughtful as Jesus.

I would say if I am consistent at anything… I am consistent at flopping when it comes to motherhood. I wouldn’t say I am a BAD mom. I just… I KNOW ME. I HAVE ROOM TO GROW. A LOT OF ROOM. I am impatient. I have high expectations. I am short-tempered. I get cranky. I [...]

Motherhood on Mother’s Day

Jenny On the Spot — Sun, 13 May 2012 07:01:47 +0000

I don’t know about you… but motherhood for me has been NOTHING like I expected. I TOTALLY underestimated the blessing of motherhood. And overestimated my brilliance. You see, children are little people. People (little or full-grown) have wills. Before I entered this mothering gig, I had no idea when I saw a kid tantrum-ing in [...]

HOW DO YOU MAKE BABIES???

Jenny On the Spot — Fri, 11 May 2012 05:30:47 +0000

There we were… eating our dinner of bbq’d pork chops, grilled asparagus and red peppers, and noodles. Fried in butter. Topped with parmesan. Yes. We were engaging in our usual banter, “Your Mom…” “YOUR MOM…” Which is especially funny when I say, “YOUR MOM!” to the kids. That joke just never gets old. Annywho. Out [...]

My kids. They are not unlike any other kid around… What with their lust for fun, pools, and all things colorful. Like moths to light. Hey. Wait. That’s not one of my kids! THAT’S ME! I’M JUST LIKE ARIEL! Aaaaaanywho… Why am I acting like a mermaid out of water??? Well, I am enjoying the [...]

Should we be allowing sleepovers?

Jenny On the Spot — Wed, 09 May 2012 00:57:08 +0000

Sleepovers have become a thorn in my parental-side. (the BEST sleepover, right here!) Not actually HAVING them… but letting my children GO to them. Or NOT. And considering what has come to light with politician Michael Gardner… I just want to add my 2 cents about the famed childhood tradition: The Sleepover… Our family is [...]

Irony: Thoughts on cutting one’s finger on a cookie box and subsequent exercise.

Jenny On the Spot — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:35:10 +0000

So. One night recently… I remembered (a special thanks goes out a particularly fierce tummy growl) I had gone to Trader Joe’s and bought a box of Jo Jo’s. FOR EATING. Unrelated, never go shopping hungry. *eyes go wild* Aaaanywho. The box sat in my pantry… unopened for 3 days. THREE. DAYS. WHO DOES THAT?!! [...]

Sickness, Pepperoni Face, Slow Internets, a Purple Star Fish, Hood Canal and whathaveyou

You know when you are going through a week and you know it’s busy, but then you sit down on Sunday night and upload an insane amount of pictures *raises fist to recent discover of the SPORTS setting on camera* and you realize… WOW. That WAS a week. Or two. Because this note was actually [...]

Say No to Jugs… P.S. Size Matters ahem

Jenny On the Spot — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:31:29 +0000

Y’all. Yuh. ALL. There are so many reasons to adore Method’s laundry detergent. FOUR squirts cleans a load. FOUR. Earth-conscious packaging – the recyclable bottle is made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic 50 loads worth of detergent in one hand! Though moms claim to have at least 3 hands… we really only have access to any [...]
