I only go to Michael's in an emergency; I can't be trusted. This time, I put my blinders on to pick out a birthday present for one of Isaiah's friends. I passed the scrapbook stickers, looked straight ahead as I walked by the colored pencils and didn't even peak at the already-here-way-to-early Halloween decorations. I was surgical, I … Continue reading Mommy Fail Number 235 – Model Car Kit

All I Ever Wanted Was to be Kitty Forman – The Best 70s Mom Ever

It’s Gigantic!
This week, it is my honor to co-host my favorite blog-hop! (Besides mine, shameless plug) When the call went out for new sentences for Finish the Sentence Friday I thought about how much I enjoy the topics that can be turned to the funny side of things.

Obsolescence and The Deconstructionist
It broke my heart to see it go, but it was obsolete. A piece of my past. Something I was saving to give to my kids kid some day. I wouldn't exactly call myself a hoarder - my mom would disagree. Recently we moved my husband from a basement office to a first floor room, my … Continue reading Obsolescence and The Deconstructionist
How A Day in The Park Turned Into a Nightmare
It was the perfect day here in the suburbs of Chicago. We live in a beeeautiful area not far from the lake halfway between Chicago and the Wisconsin border. I decided to take my son and my niece to one of our favorite forest preserves. We love this one because it has easy trails; essential … Continue reading How A Day in The Park Turned Into a Nightmare
Sorry China, It’s Not You, It’s Me. No, It’s You.
So I did a really bad thing. I taught my son something I can't seem to undo. I taught him China doesn't care about us.
