Correspondent Ava reporting: “Did you know that Santa has a cell phone. He does. I called him on his cell phone when I was in bed.” Really, what did he say? “Ho, ho, ho, I have reindeers!” Hear that good girls and boys: no more need for written wish lists or waiting in long lines, [...]

Sometime last year, a speaker at the mom’s group at my church made some comment about how moms need to let dads be dads. That our children have two parents for a reason and each brings unique qualities out in our children. She told us not to mother our husbands and hamper them from putting [...]

“UH!…Stop. UH!….Mama, why do these keep falling!” I looked up from the sudsy sink and over at Ava who was holding out her hand and dropping crayon after crayon on the kitchen floor. “What’s the matter, Ava?” I replied. Ava picked up a orange crayon, gripped it in her fist, held it over the floor [...]

After stacking up her library books in a haphazard tower of reds and blues, Ava nestled into the couch for her afternoon consumption of Babar, Madeline, and Mother Goose. No sooner had she opened Guess Who’s Coming, Jesse Bear, did the precarious pile toppled over onto her feet up to her shins. Ava looked over [...]

I have read that children can develop complex relationships with imaginary friends and favorite toys, yet somehow I was completely unprepared for the following encounter: I was in the basement lifting the sixth load of laundry up into the dryer when I heard sobs upon sobs tumbling down the stairs. “Mama! Mama! ahhh-wah-wah-ahhh. Mama.” As [...]

warning: badger on the loose!

A very scary badger has taken up residence behind the radiator in Ava’s bedroom. It’s quite a tricky place to hide as we are neither strong enough dislodge the radiator nor slim enough to get behind it. As it stands there is no possible way to remove the badger.
