Out with the old and in with the new or so they say! Here comes the New Years Resolutions. I know exercising is a big one. Below is a list of things you should exercise in the new year. Exercise patience. Not everyone moves at your pace. Exercise your ears more. Less talking, more listening! Exercise your face by smiling! …
Middle of the night run…
Well…we tried. We tried and failed. A phone call at 1:02 am made that abundantly clear. What was this epic fail I speak of? Little Girls first sleepover. Starting from the moment she woke up. “What time is L coming?” “How many more hours until L comes?” All day. Overnight bag packed. Sleeping bag rolled up. Both sitting by the …
The witching hour…
The witching hour… I have done it. After three plus years of doing the school run, I have finally tackled the school run witching hour. It begins the moment you hear the click in the back seat… You pick up your smiling child, perhaps hot and sweaty child, grab their gear from school and head to the vehicle. Shouts of …
Twas the day before break…
Twas the day before break… Twas the day before break and all through the class, not a student was learning, that time has passed. The teacher was stressed, so much to do. Her entire room covered in red glitter and glue. The students excited, break plans in their head. Working on a sugar rush from being happily fed. Desks to …
Weighted blankets…
Weighted Blankets A few months ago I decided to get Little Girl a weighted blanket. She would pop up and down for a solid hour after tuck in. Back and forth my husband and I would go. Sleep has always been an issue with her. What is a weighted blanket? Weighted blankets are blankets lined with evenly distributed weight. The …
Punishment fit the crime…

She lost the ability to ride the bus to school. What did dad do? He made her walk. In his defense, he was driving behind her to …

I have followers from all over the world. People who take time out from their day to read my posts. I have made …
Is this a thing now…
It has happened in the drive-through. It has happened over the phone. It has happened through email. There is a well-known coffee joint we use a lot. Whenever we go through the drive-through the lady on the other end always says “drive up hon” or “OK, hon…come on up.” I get it. She is just trying to be friendly. I …

It is good to be nosey…
I was one of those crazy people shopping on Black Friday. Not the get up before the crack of dawn shopping…but still shopping. I was in Kohls and the line was around the store. My sister, being the good sister she is, gets in line. My niece and I then begin to shop and bring our wares back to my …
