my thoughts on motherhood, kids, books and stuff
Lincoln: Mom! Pick a card! Any card! (I pick a card) Me: Do I need to look at it? Lincoln: Not really (I put the card back and he proceeds to clumsily shuffle the deck) Lincoln: Okay, what did your card look like. Me: I don’t know, you said I didn’t need to look at [...]

Last night the kids and I spread out sleeping bags on the living room floor, turned on all the lighted Halloween decorations, turned out all the lights, and played “Would You Rather” for two hours.

My baby girl now has glasses. I think she looks darling and I am thrilled she can see better. But it is all too grown up. I am going to go browse baby pictures now and have a little cry.

Does anyone else remember this creepy version of “Jack and the Beanstalk” that came out in 1974? (three years before I was born) It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I was so excited to find this clip. The music in the movie is catchy and unusual. This song [...]

Lincoln: Mom, do you know how to juggle? Me: Not really, why? Lincoln: Because Ronald McDonald said that he knows how to juggle, but not as well as mommies do. Me: Hehe, now that you mention it…I DO know how to juggle!

One of my favorite nights while my mom was visiting we stayed up late telling stories to the kids about our childhood. We laughed and laughed at the kids reactions to the things we did as kids. Mom, you thought you were getting back at me for telling the kids about how I liked to [...]
