Sweet

I’m working on getting the Bean to sleep in her own bed… preferably all night long.  Hey, I can dream.  So tonight we did some ‘pre-planning’ where I told her that our routine would be reading picture books up in Bub’s bed, then going down in her bed for a little chapter book reading, then [...]

What do you do

when you have SO much to talk about on your crafty little artsy fartsy blog, but none of it is really artsy or crafty, or even fartsy for that matter?  And what about when your head space is filled with mostly with stuff that if you blogged about, people would get their panties all in [...]

Amazed

Tig and I split the kids 50/50 (mostly).  This means every other night the kids are here.  I’m not so keen on this schedule anymore, but Tig refuses to switch, so… yeah.  Anyway, Saturday when the kids were here until 5pm it wasn’t pretty.  Bub was off, WAY off, the lead suspect is yeast.  There [...]

Remembered

Last night I tucked Bub in to read a chapter of this book he’s decided to read. I made my way downstairs to wash the dinner dishes and was promptly summoned back upstairs.
Bub: Mooooooommaaaa!
Me: What’s up? (I call from downstairs)
Bub: We forgot something.
I recollect the routine as I ascend the stairs I just [...]

Surprise

We got a visit from the Vomit Fairy at midnight last night. The Vomit Fairy is exclusive distributer of the dreaded “Wake and Puke” (or “Puke and Wake”, depending on the circumstances). This is a cruel trick played on parents who settled in their wee ones without nary the notion that something may [...]

Flickers

When I got home from work, I was greeted by two pink bunnies stuck to my front door.
The first one said: Welcome to the lepercaun hunt!
#1 The next clue you will find in the kitchen
#2 You are very smart! You will find your clue in momma’s room.
#3 Now you are great at finding things. [...]
