Since we are always looking for good reasons to spend copious numbers of hours on Twitter, I thought I would share this with you all.

Take a look at this. Turns out that Twitter fulfills our every need. Well .. maybe not. But it makes us happier. WOOT!

You are welcome.
I might have also ranted [...]

I thought I would start the Thanksgiving weekend off with a few thanks:

Thanks to @Momalom for helping to connect other moms and bloggers through their own honest sharing. Great leading by example.

Thanks to @moegreeb for making me laugh EVERY DAY.

Thanks to @boredmommy for her boredom. Really. Because if she wasn't bored, she wouldn't produce AWESOME [...]

So there has been a lot of talk about the dangers of driving with distractions. You know, things like texting, talking on the cell phone, getting your hair permed (ok … maybe not that). These are undoubtedly very dangerous and likely causing untold numbers of accidents. But there is one distraction that predates all of [...]

Next week, at my daughter's school, they are having Grandparents' Day. They will be doing a school-wide performance with poetry, art, singing, and all kinds of beautifulness. She is soooooo excited. I'm excited for her. But there is a melancholy I still can't shake.

This morning, while driving her to school, a motorcycle cop pulled up [...]

A quick (and 100% true) story:

 

 

My daughter made a beautiful piece of art in school yesterday (yes, I know…every kid makes 'beautiful' art in preschool). It was one of those cool art projects that I can remember doing and being excited about when I was in preschool 522 years ago. Remember these: you would [...]

I have only recently come to 'know' the world of Anissa. I instantly loved her. Her wit, her honesty, her engaging style. I understood why so many spoke so highly of her. I remember when I found out she was following me on Twitter. I let out a little shriek like a high school cheerleader! [...]

Those lovely sisters over at Momalom have started a very inventive, very fun 'promotion' (I use that term loosely). They have started an on-going conversation that is allowing us to 'meet', 'talk', and share with other bloggers. I commend them for the idea. I thank them for the journey.

I've spoken of this before, but my [...]

So, here is a typical look at a Sunday morning:

 

4:52 Hear rumblings from baby boy's room. *groan loudly*. Get up & get him milk on the off-chance he will sleep in late.

6:03 I fall back asleep.

6:37 Daughter strolls into my room asking, "Mommy, is it time to get up?" ME: "NOOOOOOOO!"

6:38 Daughter ignores me and [...]

I am wondering if anyone else has this experience.

I get asked this question, in some form or other, ALL THE TIME. "Don't I know you?", or "You look so familiar, do I know you?", or "We have definitely met before."

Now, you may be thinking I am a rockin' hot chick and these are just pick [...]

A brief peek into a conversation this morning:

 

Daughter: "Mommy, you look so pretty today!"

Me: "Thank you sweetheart, that is very sweet of you to say."

Daughter: "Daddy thinks you're pretty too!"

Me: "AWWWWWW… I love  you both so much!"

Daughter (yelling to the other room): "Daddy, can I have my quarter now?"

 

True story. My life is glamorous.
I [...]
