I’ve had it with my sleep problems! I don’t usually have trouble falling asleep, but that’s probably because I don’t even start trying until midnight or later. Sometimes I do have trouble falling asleep, and even if I can fall asleep easily, I usually do not stay asleep all night. Not that I remember any […]
Made you look! Did you think I was going to say we were awaiting the arrival of our 5th child? No such luck – probably wouldn’t declare it for the first time on a blog anyway. I just wanted to share my son’s first professional haircut that made everyone joke about him being a different
Just found out that my nephew, Joshua came in second place in his school’s spelling bee putting him on the next step to the National Bee. As you might have guessed, he misspelled toboggan.

My almost 17-month-old son has started using “tools”. When we put up the Christmas decorations, he started pulling chairs away from the table, pushing them over to the bookcase to try to climb and get at the nativity. Yesterday, he took down a wall hanging and began to use the hanger rod as a spoon
I think this real individual is NOW the king of the humbugs. Last weekend, a rather disgruntled gentleman shoved a Salvation Army bell ringer to the ground and stole the kettle that held the money passersby had dropped in.
