So occasionally Chibby comes to me butt stuck out, shoulders slumped, starring up at me like “mom i’m bored”.  So because I love to hear him laugh histarically, we play a little game I call go go blankie (it’s not poetry but he knows what it means).

I love the conversations I have with my neice, for starters she’s like one of those 20 questions games, she’s always got the right answer, and she has the cutest little voice that always sounds like she’s asking a question, and she is just so damn cute it makes your cheeks hurt.  So yesterday when we arrived […]

I’m standing in the kitchen making sippies and I hear my son, who has stripped his clothes all off because he’s a nudist, toddling around the corner, his diaper making that little crunchy sound and his how-are-they-sticky little feet making that thwick thwick thwick sound.   

I’ve got a newly tested yummy mocktail recipe for you. These tasty virgin margaritas are just the thing if you love cocktails but don’t drink. 
Mix up a batch of these “mock-aritas” for a baby shower, ladies night, or even a superbowl party.   Prep is about 15 minutes.  Add a little sweet and sour to kick it up even […]

So this morning I was checking my blog stats and down at the very bottom of the page I found this something that had me rolling!
I’ve had 42 visitors to my blog this month that searched for the phrase “the effects of wearing high heels on your uterus”.  Apparently using words like: high heels, fetus, […]

For the last two years I’ve been suffering from Victorias-secretaphobia. I have been buying cheap bras in hopes of avoiding the PTS caused by a panty shopping encounter at Victoria’s’ Secret. When I graduated from high school 9 years ago I weighed a whopping 103 lbs. At 5′8″ I was a […]

I stumbled across an innocent little blog post this morning about a stay-at-home mom bumper sticker on a minivan.  It was a nice little post from a working hubby who was showing some respect for the work that stay-at-home moms (& dads too) do.  The post it self was short and sweet, but the commentary […]

Chocolate chips and boogers, phrases I never thought I’d say. 
A couple of pre-baby years ago, Techie and I were making a late night grocery run to Wal-Mart when my husband spotted an open bag of chocolate chips on the shelf.  Being the trouble maker that he is he grabbed a handful and began pelting me with them […]

In February Techie, Chibby, and I are heading to Florida for a long weekend.  Techie will attend a conference while me and the little guy see the sights.  While I’m looking foward to a break from artic weather I’m definately not looking forward to our first flight with a toddler.   My worst fear is that […]

I have a porch full of CRAP. It’s been here a week and I already like it less than my in-laws.  It’s making me angry and giving me a blinding headache.  I can’t sleep and I can’t concentrate because no matter where I am in the house I can see the peaks of the mountains […]
