During the Presidential debate this past Tuesday, a Facebook friend of mine – actually, she’s a real, live friend of mine who lives across the street – appropriately identified some of her Facebook friends as “armchair politicians.” She’s referring to those who have never played the politics “game,” yet they seem to have so much […]

It’s been such an exciting week over here in my little “corner” of the web. I went to a few parties, even. (Cough) Twitter parties. (Cough) Okay, I lied. I didn’t even go to those. I’m still not 100% sure what they even are to be honest. But, I thought it would be fun to […]

Sometimes I think I’m still on the fence about this whole idea of homeschooling our kids (now 2 1/2 and 1). I KNOW it’s what I want to do, I just don’t know if I’m cut out for it. Here’s why:

I think our 2-year-old has been watching horror movies without our knowledge. (How? Isn’t he supervised?) Well, you know how kids will pick up an iPad or iPhone and flip over to the Netflix app, and it’s about 45 minutes before you realize what they’re watching? No…no. I don’t either.

As you may have already gathered, my husband is in the military — the Air Force to be exact. But we currently live on an Army Post in Leavenworth, Kansas. Yup. THAT Leavenworth. I knew nothing about Leavenworth when we moved here except that they had some prisons — both a federal one and the […]

I think it’s very important that you know something about me before we move forward with this relationship. I’m not a cat person. (Gasp!) I love kittens, but full grown cats just freak me out. They stalk you and claw at you and poop in a box in your laundry room. Eww.

Both of our kids were breastfed until about 2.08 seconds after they bit the ever loving CRAP out of me. And then we switched to formula. I’m no wimp, but both of our kids had mouths FULL of teeth by six months. (Exhibit A: Averi with two teeth on bottom and at least two on […]

You know what’s way more fun than Disney World and costs almost as much? A trip to the dentist. Recently, I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and made an appointment for an oral cleaning/pressure washing. It had literally been years since I’d been to the dentist. I know, I know. But let me explain:  […]
