Self-checkouts are all the rage these days in grocery stores near me, and I always wonder how they manage to prevent major loss this way since it is would be so easy to bag two things at once, or just skip the bagging process altogether and walk on out with your belongings. The attendants never […]

Monday Moments: The Help
I’m so behind at life right now, I don’t even care that my kids are in pajamas in 90% of the pictures you’re about to see. At least they’re IN pajamas, I say. Despite the chaos and confusion they’re in the middle of (but what does moving MEAN, Mom? Where will our stuff be?), I […]
Monday Moments: Big Brother
This little man has been giving me some serious attituuuude of late. He has definitely reached the point of being ready for Kindergarten, despite his adamant claim that he is “not going”, and we’ve been fighting a little.

Is there a person alive that went to school, cared about their grades, was genuinely interested in learning, and then got assigned a group project or presentation, and thought, “YES, group work!” ?? I’m not a gambling gal, but I’m putting my money on NO. Yet teachers seem […]
Monday Moments: Note to Self
I seriously love this third child of mine. That is my note to self, as I have been feeling less than charitable toward Theo since potty training had the unexpected consequence of him waking up around 5:00 am ever since to use the facilities…and when he’s up, he’s up. He hasn’t really slept through the night […]
