A few weeks ago, Shanel’s mom was in town for the weekend. Back in our college days, Shanel, our roommates, and I would head down to her parent’s place in search of fresh cookies, a healthy dose of mothering and maybe some free laundry. We’d haul baskets of dirty clothes down into the basement and [...]

Goodbye Online Dating. Hello Online Play Groups. After months of reading about sweet Julia and thinking, “Oh, that sounds just like Ava” or writing an Ava-antic and receiving a comment about how “Julia does the same thing,” the pint-sized virtual friends met. My pal MckMama and her sister threw an all-out birthday bash inviting seasoned [...]

Ava’s room has reached an all-time low. Four days with four little girls sandwiched by two extended weekend trips have done things to Ava’s room that would cause mice to relocate. To make matters worse, Ava carries the strong conviction that clothes are to be changed every three hours. I’m all for creativity and expression, [...]

Remember when little Rapunzel was locked in the bathroom tower? Thankfully, the Great Knight was on hand to scale the ladder and rescue the frightened princess. Today, the nefarious bathroom captured another young victim and there was no Great Knight or even a ladder to help the poor, distressed child. So, I did what any [...]

Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Besides the silly foam shoes that have overtaken feet of every generation. How about now? Before the mosquitoes made their appearance on the first night of our northern adventures, Ava’s new Crocs were chewed through by an aggressive pair of teeth. I was not a happy camper. [...]

During the mysterious blog absence, Ava and I were enjoying a quiet afternoon at home. The doorbell rang and we looked out the window to see who it might be. There was no one on the front steps and no cars parked on the sidewalk. “Maybe, it’s a package!” Ava shouted running down the stairs [...]
fun facts about gum

1. If you give your daughter chewing gum on a consistent basis, it is inevitably destined to become affixed to her hair. I know, I know, gum is bad for teeth and especially for the little developing jaw. I dispense it strictly to counter my four-year-olds overwhelming urge to put everything in her mouth. Over [...]

The “where were you post” will have to wait. We had such a delicious day yesterday that I can’t think about anything else. The sun is finally seated on his throne over the bright blue sky and we spent our day basking in the warmth of his bright rays. Just take a look. Ava and [...]
