My kids think I’m a ninny.  If you ask Noah and Holly, I’ve missed the boat and the last big wave, and definitely am not as cool as so-and-so’s Mom.  After all, she lets her children have internet access in their bedrooms and I don’t.  Well, phooey, I’ll just have to deal with being un-cool.  I may be not be as tech-savvy as ...

This morning I turned on the television before I even got out of bed and propped myself up on my squishy pillow, ready for my Waltons fix with the kids before school.  Before they ran in to snuggle with me under the covers I channel-surfed to make sure the sky wasn’t planning to fall, like I always do.  (‘Cause if it’s gonna fall, see, I ...

My son was hit by a car as he ran into the street after a tennis ball.    My worst nightmare.   The car, driven by a 91-year-old neighbor, hit his left side.  I’d been standing 30 feet away with the cable guy staring up at a phone wire on one side of our new house, and my husband was nearby vacuuming out the car near where ...

We were surrounded by boxes.  Some had already seen active duty in more than their fair share of moves and sported several layers of packing tape, badly tattered corners and barely viable seams.  Those travel-weary boxes looked like we felt, as we contemplated the rigors of yet another move.          ...

My baby is starting pre-school this year. He is my only one and when Grandma is babysitting he is by himself. So, I have put my three year old in sports like Soccer and T-ball so he can learn to socialize. I do not have an agenda for him. I do sit and count with him. Ask him what color an item is, color in coloring books and draw. Basicly what ...

This is HYSTERICAL. if you are a project runway fan who just happens to be a parent of a little kid, this will definitely make you laugh. but i don't know why they don't really do this, because it would make a good episode! everyone would find it funny but parents who have to ...
