It’s dinner time.
Dinner tonight is a savory meal of rice, moist, delicious roasted chicken, and nicely seasoned vegetables. Hubby has a meeting after work so he’ll be eating his dinner later. But my boys, aged 5 and 3, need to eat now – a little extra play time, clean up time, bath time, and bedtime [...]

Just Like My Daddy…
You’re Weird. Extend. And Lounge:)
I have a friend. Her name is Maxine.
Maxine is a pretty lady with a pretty heart. She is fun to be around, easy going, cheerful, and very easy to talk to. She also writes. She has these great little nuggets on her website , and one day, I stumbled on something she had written [...]
Lady in the Blue Jacket
It feels like things have always been like this. Early every morning, as we get ready for the day, I look out the window and I see her walking. She is an older lady – probably in her early to mid seventies would be my guess. She is tiny. Her back is a little bit [...]
Don’t Forget To Spank Him!
We have a side by side fridge & freezer – one of those with a freezer from top to bottom on the left side, and a fridge from top to bottom on the right side. It saves us a lot of space – we don’t need a deep freezer in addition to a huge fridge. [...]
~ Secret Place ~
I have a confession to make .. I have a secret stash of Kitkat and other munchies hidden away downstairs. I am not a big chocolate or candy person.. but I absolutely love Kitkat. That delicious crunchy wafer bar just does it for me… aaaah..lol. And I promise you, this is not the [...]

It’s Not Up to Them!
A little while ago, the boys had been happily playing with their toys when they both decided they wanted to play pretend with Barney and Leapfrog, two of their favorite stuffed animals. The animals were both out of their reach that day, so they asked if I would get them (My 4yr old wanted his [...]
Don’t want kisses…
It was a typical evening, just a few days ago. We were all tired after what had been a long and busy day, each one of us dealing with their day and their work the best way they could. I sat on the couch watching the boys play, thinking – I’ll catch my breath before [...]
Good Morning My Neighbors!
One of my all time favorite movies is “Coming to America”. Eddie Murphy plays Akeem, an African prince who is exploring America for the very first time (Many of you are probably familiar with the story). I can’t tell you how many times my sisters and I watched this movie growing up. After a while, [...]
No, He’s not a girl!!!
It was a quiet Sunday afternoon yesterday…we were all home – everyone relaxing or otherwise going about their business. My 4yr old and I were at the dining table on our computers, my 2yr old was playing in the living room, and hubby was in the bedroom sorting out stuff. I was enjoying the quiet [...]
Samosa Days, Giraffe Nights, Puppies, etc: A Thank Fest
I am thankful.
My home is currently extremely messy and is truly a shame to behold – we’ve all been pretty sick (each of us in varying degrees) this past week, and everything except the essential stuff has taken the back burner. I am thankful we have a home to live in – the mess can [...]
Tatu Yod…Ees!
Some time ago, I was getting the kids ready for bed … we were all happy but were also pretty tired after what had been a very long Saturday of playing very hard for most of the day. We were running very late for bedtime, so after brushing their teeth and getting their pjs on, [...]
