Thanks for visiting! If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed using the feedburner link to the right. Oh, that’s right.  I never had an organized Mother Award.
Today I decided to take the kids on a shopping expedition to Wal-mart and Aldi.  They were okay with that as long [...]

Sometimes it’s scary when my children want to be like me.
“When I grow up I want to do/be ________________ like you Mommy.”
I usually just smile at them, but inside I’m thinking how I can be a better person.  I think of all the better people my child could try to be like.
Sometimes it’s physical characteristics [...]

If you were wondering where I was today - wonder no longer.
I was making this video, getting it in the computer, changing the format, etc.
I really need to do video like this more often so I remember how to do all the steps.
 
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Let me just say that if I were required to cook for breakfast my family would be going hungry till lunch.
I know that breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day.  It’s just never been very important to me.
My favorite special breakfast is Pillsbury cinnamon rolls.  My favorite every day breakfast [...]

They can be sitting at the table with their Dad while [...]

My 5yo son pointed to an envelope with JENDI on it and said, “What’s that say, Mommy?”
“That’s my name.”
He quickly replied, “No. They spelled it wrong. It starts M-O-M…”

In our apartment we only have one bathroom.
This has it’s good points, not many of them, but if I think hard enough there are some.
It also has it’s bad points. One of them is my children’s uncanny ability to always have to use the potty when I am in the shower. Always. [...]

I’d planned to clean the house today
And store all the winter things away,
But a little girl called out merrily
So my task must wait till she’s tired of me.
I’d thought I’d polish all the floors
And finish a hundred household chores,
But a little boy wanted a story read,
His dinner cooked and his puppies fed.
A brown thrush down [...]

Somewhere I read an article written by a photographer who was complaining about the mothers that “take over” the photo studio.
That would be me.
I positively know that I can get my child to smile better than that photographer using-the-high-squeaky-voice that-doesn’t-really-care and just-needs-a-job-to-get-through-college.
