We have all been there. Sitting in the car loop, waiting to drop off your own kids, behind the world’s most annoying person…the car loop jerk. This person takes his/her sweet time dropping off their child(ren.) They have even been known to get out of the car, which totally negates the purpose of a DRIVE THRU car loop! [...]
#VlogMom: Embarassing Moment(s)
April 12, 2012 by 1 Comment
This week, Erin Lane, Editor at A Parenting Production challenged us to talk about an embarassing moment. The problem for me was choosing just one. So I didn’t. I’m sure that everyone can relate to this because you are probably a mom or dad yourself. Usually people who don’t have kids steer clear of this [...]
Rebuilding My Relationship With Dad
March 16, 2012 by 2 Comments
I’ve written about my dad before. It’s no secret that we have had a strained relationship at times. In fact, our rocky relationship was televised for the world to see a few years back on Supernanny. It has been five years since the show aired and I still get people asking me how things are with my dad. [...]
From Failure To Victor

There are days when I feel like no matter how much I do for my kids, I am not able to feel victorious as a mother. Yesterday was one such day. Yesterday started with a husband who had the stomach flu and not feeling so hot myself. I got the kids to school and [...]

Daniel Jr was close…thisclose…to earning his cell phone. He wants one bad, so bad that he can taste it. When progress reports came home from school last week, I could see how painful it was for him to hand me his. He had four A’s and one B+. The deal we made required all A’s. [...]
Guilty of Silence

I like silence. I enjoy the few hours that I finally get every day while my seedlings are in school. Silence is beautiful. I beg my children at least once a day, to just be silent for a few minutes and allow me to collect my thoughts. Silence is essential at times. There are times, [...]
Parenting Twitter Style
August 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Happy Monday! Are you looking forward to another week of parenting? If you are answering honestly,probably not. It is a hard job. It is thankless and unpaid. And? There is no manual on how to do it right. Thankfully, we have a little invention called Twitter. Parenting has never been easier thanks to Twitter. Don’t [...]
Secrets To A Successful School Year
August 10, 2011 by 5 Comments
This year is a hallmark for my husband and I. All of our kids are now in school (cue the *fist pumping*) and this means that I get six whole hours of time to get work done and pee by myself. It also means that I am forced to be organized, which is not my [...]
