Parents Magazine posted an article about 25 Manners Kids Should Know by Age 9 in their March 2011 issue. I don’t know where to begin with this one. I was somewhat appalled that an article was even written covering standard manners for children. What are we as parents focusing on if our kids can’t master saying please and […]

Don’t Show Your Daughters The Royal Wedding
I was glued to the tv watching the Royal Wedding. IDC what anyone says…this is a great part of history. How many Royal Weddings will happen in my lifetime? The moment Kate Middleton stepped out of the Bentley in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress, it was OH-VERRRRR for me. In that instant, […]
Legoland Tips
To culminate our Spring Break festivities, I took the boys to LEGOLAND. I seriously cannot tell you who had the most fun. I normally am not a fan of taking kids to the big theme parks, but Legoland is definetly the exception. The park has a great layout and there is such a nice, laid […]
Holding Hands
I love Bronson. He has such a happy spirit, and always has a way of making me smile. Just before we were about to cross the street, we had this convo: Me: Bronson hold mommy’s hand so we can cross the street. B: B no wanna hold mommy’s hand (giggle giggle) Me: Honey, you need […]
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. […]
Old Fashion Fun
In a technology crazed society, I take delight in watching Bronson have simple, old fashion fun. My handyman left a few extra boards one day, and I decided to create a ramp for B’s plethora of cars. Who needs Disneyland when you’ve got wood????? For added delight, I filled a tupperware bowl with dish soap, […]
Can We Get A Good Picture?
I always talk about how hard it is to get pictures of me with the boys. Since Annie Leibovitz isn’t on my speed dial, I rely on friends and family to get in some candids of us whenever possible. It is always a disater adventure. It would be nice if Mo looked at the camera, […]
Stay Out Of My Room
No kids are allowed in my bedroom. That might sound harsh, but it’s a firm rule in my household. I need one room that I feel is mine. ME. No greasy fingerprints on the walls, no Hot Wheels to step on, no automated electronic kiddie toys activated during the night, no traces of licensed cartoon […]
Where Are The Boys
Recently, I spent the 1st night alone in my house. No Mo. No Bronson. I have never been so bored in my life! Yes….moms always want (and need) time alone. But in my moment of solitude, I realized what a huge chunk of my life and happiness truly center around my kids. I live daily to […]
How To Peel A Banana
My boys love bananas. They are a pain in the azz to peel…until I learned how to peel them like a monkey. Monkeys eat bananas all the time in the wild. They don’t have the dexterity to open it from the stem. But actually, this is the incorrect way, which is why it is probably […]
