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…
Giddy Up, Cowboy!!!
I was sitting down at the dining table the other day, typing away at my computer. The boys were playing with their cars on the dining floor. They laughed and chatted about all sorts of things as they played. I joined in their conversation, laughing along… but I kept typing away.
My 2 yr old then [...]
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 [...]
Got Your Shot?
My boys – aged 4 and 2, absolutely love to play pretend. One minute our home is just a regular home, the next minute it’s been converted into space, a rocket ship, or a fantasy island full of hidden treasure. It never ceases to amaze me, how much fun they can have with the most [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Foolish Words
I wanted to share this with you…it made me smile and also made me think. I was at the Doctor’s this morning for a routine appointment with the kids and while we were waiting to be called in, I was flipping through a book I had taken with me – It’s called “Foolish Words – [...]
Choosing How Our Experiences Affect Us
So… like everyone else, I sometimes get disappointed by people (and I disappoint some people sometimes too). It happens to everyone from time to time. Some disappointments are huge and can seem crushing, others are no big deal and we can just brush them off and quickly move on. Yep, it is unfortunately a fact [...]
