So sometimes I have these lapses in parental judgement, and I think to my self I got this, when ninety nine point nine percent of the time that is not the case at all. Literally every eating out experience with my children is exactly like that. I’m an over- estimator like you wouldn’t believe and…

Husband and wife are discussing having another child while watching yet another Bravo production (Million Dollar Listing).   Wife:  I really want another baby now, I’m getting older. After all, it’s been 5 years since I was pregnant with Theo  Husband: FIVE YEARS?! How has it been five years? Theo is only THREE! We haven’t…

So something amazing happened last night, get your mind out of the gutter, it’s not what you think…Last night, I took the plunge and gathered all of my childhood movies and brought them to my house to share with my boys. Yes, they are on VHS and yes I’ll be spending the next few days…

Sometimes as a parent, this internet stuff makes me feel like a crappy knock-off version of a parent. You know, like the RC cola version to the Coke or Pepsi, what with all of the activities and Pinterest-ing ideas to stimulate and keep your children creatively thinking for 24 hours a day.

Another lesson learned; windy roads are synonomous with toddlers having to go potty. Something about not having a place to go, I think? 1. Kids don’t sleep in the car. They only gain more and more energy and then finally explode on arrival, especially if the arrival time is midnight. Strike that, kids don’t sleep…

And yes, in case you were wondering, that is a Kings Island reference to the most rickety slash back breaking roller coaster of all time (FYI if you haven’t been to Kings Island, you are probably way more cool than I’ll ever be).  In case you couldn’t tell by the sweat beads coating my typeface,…

I’ve noticed that my parenting style is directly related to the amount of sleep that I get the night before. Awake momma= fun and exciting Tired momma= Let’s watch Tangled again. But seriously folks, NO one and I repeat NO one ever prepares you for the sheer exhaustion that parenting creates. Seriously, it’s almost ridiculous…
