  My son will not eat Mac n’ Cheese.  He doesn’t like any kind of pasta…
I don’t know how he came from me.  He doesn’t like a lot of icing on cake or cupcakes- that totally comes from me…
But yesterday was a new ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ moment:
My son opened the fridge and saw [...]

      My son and I sing a lot.  We are not always on key.  But we have a good time.  He loves my singing… or so I thought.
The other day we were listening to kids’ music in the car, I don’t remember the exact song, but it was by Laurie Berkner, Justin Roberts, or [...]

It used to be pretty fun going out on special nights- New Year’s, Valentine’s Day; but as we all know: things change.
I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s Eve anyway, because it can rarely live up to the hype associated with it.
My answer:  GO OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE.
I have now done this for [...]

This was my iPod until a few days ago.  I was one of the first people with an iPod.  I am normally not that trendsetting; my husband had heard about it at his high-tech workplace and got me one.
I remember, I kid you not, riding on Metro and people asking me what it was.  [...]

            Ah, Bribery. I’ve never been a big fan, but sometimes you just gotta do it.
Case in point:  my son going to the barber.  Yes, I know he’s 5, I should have started taking him to the barber literally, years ago.  And just made him ‘cry it out’.
But I didn’t. [...]

It was a hard post to write, [...]

It was President’s Day Weekend…
I was pregnant! We were thrilled… But my HCG levels were low, so something wasn’t quite right.
I didn’t miscarry, as my doctor said I might, so I was hopeful that my pregnancy would get better. Then, Sunday evening I was cramping up so much that I wanted to call [...]

       I got this in an email and edited it a bit:
Great Truths of Motherhood:
1) Wrinkles don’t hurt.  
2) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground. 
3) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside. 
4) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
 
 
 
 

                     I am happy to say that I now have a new dishwasher.
The hard part was not finding the dishwasher, but having it installed.
After dealing with a not-so-honest plumbing firm that quoted me an astronomically ($455) high rate to install my dishwasher, I took matters into [...]
