Years ago I read an article called “Taking the High Road with Three under 3.” I remember thinking those parents had to be crazy! Our first 3 were 5 and under, but still, Hubby and I were just never that adventurous; traveling with my kids always made me think of some complex military operation….without the benefit of a [...]

Thankfully I have had lots of energy this summer to keep up with the kids.
I have answered many questions, some of which took me by surprise.
I have learned that when my brother’s children ask a question they want an answer……whether or not I am the person who should answer their question. Somehow I was able to put off my [...]

What is my brother going to say when he gets home to find that his 8 year old son is growing like a weed and is eating meat all of a sudden?
He has turned into a carnivore overnight.
Nephew has been big on salads since he was 2. He was the only toddler I’ve ever seen [...]

“Arrrrh…there be spoilers ahead….” Oops – wrong movie.
I managed to round up, feed and get three “tweens” in the car yesterday morning in time for us to catch the first showing of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Try explaining to kids in “summer time brain mode” that the odds of seeing a premiere at [...]

I came upon this video totally be accident doing research for another post.
I would not be able to keep from climbing in there with them.
I would calling out all sorts of things like:
“Play nice please.”
“Get down off the ledge, you’re going to get hurt.”
Why are you biting your sister?”
“Use your words [...]
Harper’s Island

Am I the only one who got hooked on Harper’s Island?
It had a lighthouse in the intro. Lighthouses are one of my weaknesses.
It sounded like a good murder mystery…something fun for the end of the year.
OMG! Did anyone else think it was bloody?
The last couple weeks I’ve been telling my husband that I thought it [...]

Can you tell a Narcissist by his eyes?
This sweet cat would no doubt be offended at the comparison.
The individual asking Google the question used the phrasing “Can you tell a narcissist with his eyes.” I don’t think you can necessarily tell what kind of human being a person is, by their eyes.
I have only known one [...]
