Adios Blockbuster!
Dear Blockbuster,
I am at the end of my rope with you. But really it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault that I’ve been too preoccupied to do the smart and simple thing and join Netflix. It’s not your fault that I continue to rent kid’s movies from you at $4.29 that are too scratched […]
Attention: Bloodshed In Aisle Six
Since the birth of my daughter, I’m unable to do a lot of things with just my boys. When my husband is home I try and take advantage of alone time with me and them. They are both at an age now where it is much easier to take them places. Or so I thought, […]
Oh Baby Girl…
Having a baby girl is dangerous, especially after having two boys. There is an obscene amount of gorgeous clothing, shoes, and accessories geared towards little girls and their susceptible mothers. Anyone with boys is aware of the unfair balance of cuteness that exists in local baby departments. To put it simply, the amount of pink […]
Welcome Me To The 21st Century
I can’t believe it. I have an iPod. Me, with an iPod. I may be late to the party, but I am sure happy to have been invited. Ever since I got a pair of parachute pants in junior high on the tail end of them going out of style, I’ve been late with the […]
3-Year-Old Jekyll and Hyde
My 3 three-year-old son can be the biggest toddler terror on the planet one minute, and the most adorable and charming little sweetheart the next. Much like the weather in the Midwest, he can go from one extreme to the other in a matter of minutes.
Just the other day while we were grocery shopping, he […]
Valentine’s Day Ideas
Ahh, Valentine’s Day. The day, in which you express your love to all of the people, you continuously pick up and clean after. Hmm, I think moms are the one that need to be shown the love. However, that’s not usually the case. In fact, the American Greeting Card Association estimates that women purchase approximately […]
I Want My Christmas Classics In December!
Santa Claus is Coming to Town is on TV tonight, and I am thrilled. My kids are looking forward to it as well. It makes no sense really because we have owned that movie and several other Christmas classics for a few years now. But there is something about it being on TV that makes […]
Black Friday
Black Friday is a dark and depressing phrase given to the biggest shopping day of the year. The term is cold, impersonal and doesn’t ring with Holiday Cheer. Nevertheless, I like so many other bargain shoppers, scavengers, and thrill seekers LOVE IT. I’m not sure if it is the thrill of the hunt, the smell […]
Recall Mania - Time to Get the Lead Out!
Another day, another recall. So what else has LEAD? I know I can speak for many parents when I say, â?oWhat the hell?â? Really, what the heck is going on in China right now? And whatâ?Ts next on the list? Baby Einstein? Oh wait, they are on the list, their color blocks were recalled in […]
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…It’s That Webslinger Again!
Our little boys got a nice treat this weekend. Since it was our older son’s fall break, my husband took Friday off work, and we made plans to spend the day as a family. Our original plans were to enjoy the beautiful autumn sites at one of our beloved state parks. But since the weather […]
