While I'm trying to write this, my son is sitting on my lap yelling "put on Reading Eggs! Mommy mommy mommy...reading eggs...reading eggs..." while the dog barks incessantly at the window where she can see my husband outside chatting with neighbors.

It’s Halloween! Carve ALL the Pumpkins!
One of my must-do Halloween activities is carving pumpkins. I love visiting the pumpkin patch and picking out just the right one!

The Real Reason Toddlers Have Tantrums
My 3-year-old is going through some intense development right now, and the resulting tantrums are quite impressive.

If I have any future hearing loss, I'll be telling my son he did this to me as a … Continue reading The Real Reason Toddlers Have Tantrums

Celebrating MY Independence – A Daycare Story
I'm interrupting my regularly scheduled funny little stories to confess I totally broke down and cried several times last week and I've just had it. This stay-at-home-mom is waving the white flag.

I'm pretty behind on the contouring craze, but I've been wanting to try it for a while.

The … Continue reading The Total Cosplay Makeover – Mom Edition
My Week in Review – Local Beans, Free Bowling, Pavers and a Magic Wand
This week I stumbled across a local bean roaster right here in Jax Beach, set the first paver stone down in my new front patio, learned (sort of) how to use a curling wand and introduced my son to the wonders of the bowling alley. My week in review 6/17 -6/23 Psst...you got the beans? … Continue reading My Week in Review – Local Beans, Free Bowling, Pavers and a Magic Wand
