Growing up in the South, I always thought lice was something that affected uneducated people in the deep back woods of Georgia who went to UGA. However, this myth was broken when Mo was sent home early with LICE. Yes, of course the kid with the thickest, longest, curliest hair gets lice. OMG, what a […]

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Spring is here!!! That means time to throw out the thick heavy mommy sweats and hoodies and break out the not so thick heavy mommy sweats and tanks. Which really means, better put away some of the junk food and hit the gym! I’m not a gym rat, I do the basics to get by. […]

Mo’s New Toy
So, Mo loves money. We don’t call him “Money Mo” for nothing. He does chores suitable for a 6 year old (cleans the gutters, replaces the plumbing, and daily landscaping maintanence)….JK. Ya know, the usual stuff, make his bed, doesn’t annoy me or his brother too much (yes, I pay him for that!), keep his […]
Ernie Davis
Mo had his 1st big presentation at school. He made an 8 minute presentation about a Person Who Made A Difference. Each child was to research, talk about, and dress as someone in history they felt made a difference. Since Mo is athletic and into sports, I knew he was gonna choose an athlete. After […]

We were talking about where Japan and Hawaii are located, and all of sudden the news anchor says a tsunami advisory is in effect for Southern California. […]
Let Your Kids Live
In my 6.5 years of being a parent, one of the most annoying things I’ve encountered are OVER BEARING parents. It’s one thing to want the best for you child, be protective, and make sure they’re safe. However, I’ve seen a few parents who take it too far. Like many moms, I volunteer regularly at […]
To Dad
For 2 days Mo came home with letters addressed “To Dad”. I was a little sad because I felt left out. No “To Mom” letter. Me: What are these? Mo: They’re for my dad. I’m gonna give them to him next time I see him. Me: Oh ok…How come you wrote letters to your dad? […]
Mo’s Presentation
I have been up late every night for a week. Countless hours on the internet, researching and surfing. More time at the keyboard, writing and brainstorming. Checking facts, biographies, dates, and history. Big presentation coming up and I don’t wanna blow it. No, I’m not working on my Ph.D. I’m helping Mo with his 1st […]
iPod Thief
I hate thieves. Well, does anyone actually LIKE thieves? My boys bought me an iPod for Mother’s Day. I really looooved it. But like all of our things, they don’t actually “belong” to US. They are really things for our kids to play with and amuse themselves. Ya know, like our car keys, cell phones, […]
