Here are some of the things that made me laugh this week. I hope you get a smile or chuckle from these thoughts out of the mouth of my sage little preschooler. Does anyone else find it a strange coincidence that kids get extra philosophical at bed time? Bed time is also the one time […]
A Back-to-School Letter to Stay-at-Home Moms
Dear SAHM, This time of year can be a bit awkward for us, can’t it? We see all of our teacher friends going back to school with big plans of changing the world while we go through the mundane routine of taking care of babies. It’s hard to know what to do with all of […]
Lessons Learned from Broken Batarangs & Bullies
We’ve recently entered the exciting world of superheroes in our home. I believe that this phase in a boy’s life is a turning point that indicates a new level of maturity. It’s much more than boys playing their own form of dress up. Superheroes help us deal with the tough issues in life. It brings […]

Grace on a Train Ride
Lately you’ve been telling me, “I’m feeling shy a little bit.” Even when you don’t admit it, there are occasions when I can see it written on your face in scenarios that you used to do nothing but smile through. It makes me sad, sometimes, to see it, especially on the day we prepared to […]

That Ugly Post to Push me Over the Hump
I’ve been mulling over a great many things lately of the blogging kind. Nothing new, really, just trying to determine where to go from here. Before I come across as emo, please note that this post’s greatest purpose is to help me sort things out. I come up with my clearest answers by writing things […]
My Daily Dose of Exceptionally Average
It’s the peanut butter and jelly that I eat for lunch. It’s the holes that I punch in Tupperware so we can make a home for slugs we dig up under the guttering. It’s the Angry Bird battles I hear raging from his room. Did I mention that he’s decided every farm animal toy that […]
