I was shopping at BJ’s the other day with the kids when we passed the jewelry counter.
My son asked, "Why is there jewelry at BJ’s?"
I responded, "So people can buy it."
He then said, "Yea… I guess if they were getting married and didn’t have a ring they could come here."
Hmmm…. clearly this Mommy doesn’t wear [...]

Kids like buttons. At least ours do. Our son was the first addict. We could keep him happy quiet for long periods of time by giving him the TV remote (with the TV off) and letting him just pound away. Him being the first, we were always careful when he got the phone. Wouldn’t want [...]

My son really took an interest in golfing this weekend while watching my husband follow the U.S. Open. My husband rarely golfs but does have a set of clubs and after very persistent requests, my husband let my son use his clubs in the back yard. He taught him the different types [...]

I was cooking dinner last week, when the kids called out from the toy box,
“Mom, don’t you want to get us out and play with us?”

I love my son’s imagination! He is at age where I wish I could just freeze time. He cracks us with his antics these days. Check out last week’s comedy routines.
My son was playing on the deck when I suddenly heard him say, “Help Mom, I’m stuck.” I turned around to see this.
As I got [...]

We lost power at about 4pm on Wednesday. Losing power really wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t mean that I had to loose water too. It makes you realize how often you run to the sink to clean up messes the kids leave in their wake. the kids have been handling it really well. [...]

My husband and I were talking in the kitchen when my son popped in and dropped a bomb on us. We appreciate his upfront honesty but we were caught totally off guard.
We’re trying hard to take deal with this rationally, but what parents wouldn’t be devastated.
It’s just that he showed so much promise. [...]

Today my son spontaneously came up to my 2 year old and gave her a kiss. Afterwards the following discussion took place.
Daughter: “No kiss, Only Daddy Kiss.”
Mommy: “But he’s your brother and he was being nice.”
Daughter: “No, only Daddy kiss.”
Mommy: “So, the only boy that can kiss you is Daddy?”
Daughter: “Yes”
Daddy was a [...]

The other day I discovered a way to occupy my kids for a good 15-20 min, which many of you know is an eternity in Mommy time.
Wanna know the secret?
I let them play with my clock radio. I plugged it in and placed it on the floor in the living room. They had [...]
My roles as wife, homemaker and mother of 3 feel much like a circus with 3 rings constantly vying for my attention. Life is often chaotic but I'm loving every minute and wouldn't want it any other way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I won't let you miss a thing.
