Why do so many people always want to find the reasons why you can’t do something instead of looking for ways that you can? ********** How in the world am I supposed to get a post-tonsillectomy three-year-old to drink 40 ounces of fluid per day? He doesn’t even drink that much when he’s well. ********** […]

Simply Coll wrote in a comment here a while back that she had reached the conclusion that blogging was a winter sport. How right she is! Except how is it that when I started this blog around this time last year, I seemed to have lots to say anyway, and lots of time to say […]
I want my daughter’s life. Really, I do. She has the best summer ever lined up for her entertainment. Last week was gymnastics camp. This week is Vacation Bible School. She loved the first day and is already singing the songs like crazy (I have to admit, they are kind of catchy), and afterward, her […]

I shouldn’t complain. My poor husband loves to golf, yet doesn’t get the chance very often. But still, I’ll get my revenge. In exchange for "allowing" him his bonding time with the guys, I’m dragging him shopping with me for new living room furniture when he gets home. I’m such an evil wife!

My sister sent this to me last week. It really did make my eyes hurt, and I stayed cross-eyed for days. So naturally I felt the need to inflict it on my unsuspecting readers (for lack of anything interesting to blog about).
The weather has been warm here in sunny Florida, so yesterday we made our first venture into the swimming pool at my parents’ new house. The 78° water was a little chilly for our thin blood, but survivable. Unless you happen to be a certain three-year-old. Lured by the waterfall, he refused all attempts to […]

I learned a fascinating piece of trivia yesterday. I bet you’ve just been dying to know why elephants in captivity have a difficult time giving birth. Friends, you need yearn for the answer no longer. I now possess the facts to set your inquisitive minds at ease. Common sense would dictate that pregnancy in any […]
We’ve all been sick in my family over the past week, with the exception of Maia. She’ll have her turn, I’m sure. Nothing more than a nuisance cold for Kent and me, but in the little ones, it seems to never be so simple. Noah developed that distinct barking cough over the weekend which signifies […]
I’m a fairly short person. Five feet, two and a half inches, to be exact. Apparently, 50 pounds on someone of my stature is quite a dramatic difference. I am flabbergasted at the kind compliments that continue to pour in, all these months after reaching my goal weight. A girl could get a big head, […]
