Lincoln: Mom, will all the nothing always be nothing or will it be something someday? Me: What “nothing” are you talking about? Lincoln: You know.

How do you be awesome cool?” Mom: “Hmmm, well…one way is to be very nice to your friends, because people think nice people are cool.” (I don’t know!

I bribed the kids to clean the house today by telling them I had a fun craft we could do together. They did a great job, so this is how we spent our afternoon. I found this craft on a website months ago and I forgot about it until I noticed all the broken and [...]

My posting has taken a serious hit between reading the Stephenie Meyers books for the past few days and now from all the cold medicine that has been clouding up my brain. So for tonight I am just going to link to a post on one of my favorite blogs, “Rocks In My Dryer”. At [...]
