Her Favorite Noodles
Cooking supper. 4 year old going through cupboard. “Mommy, know what my favorite noodles are?” Which ones? “Mac and cheese and the crunchy ones – these.” Full disclosure: The makers of the noodles didn’t send me anything and don’t even know I exist or that my 4 year old wouldn’t mind living exclusively on these [...]
How To Tie A Boy’s Tie
I’m so proud of my son. He can do something I can’t do. His daddy taught him how to tie his own tie for church. I probably shouldn’t tell you that this is about take 5 because he had trouble with the skinny side being too short. Then the wide side was too short. Then [...]

Some of you might be asking, “How expensive is expensive?” Granted, I am a thrift store/yard sale shopper [...]
Do Your Children Squeeze The Toothpaste Like This?
They put the lid back on and leave it in the bathroom, but… how do I get them to squeeze from the bottom?
Their First Riding Lesson
Sometimes I get the feeling that I could just walk away from the computer and never put any more content online. I wouldn’t worry about clients and fees, webinars or transcripts. I’d just clean the house and play with the kids. My husband has said that’s fine. I don’t have to build a business. So [...]
