What Moms Do All Day

This picture and story explain a lot… I’m almost tempted to do this one day so The Hubby could see what would happen if I wasn’t constantly picking up/cleaning something…. hmmm…. No. Because after I would make my point, I’d have to clean it up. Ha! NO THANKS! Source A man came home from work […]

Baby On Board

I need a “Baby on Board” sign in my car. Except, I need it for the opposite reason most people have them in their cars. People who normally have one of those are saying to other drivers, “The reason I am going ridiculously slow and driving exceptionally carefully is because I am a first-time parent and need […]

If You Have Kids or Have Friends With Kids, Read This!

I recently read this article after someone posted it on Facebook. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/22/AR2007052201554.html Made me smile.

Throat Chopping Crackheads Who Give Children Candy

What STRANGER gives a TWO-year old CANDY at the post office!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I had to run to the post office last minute yesterday to over-night a package for The Hubby. Because it was dreadfully hot, I put Gwyn in a nighty dress to stay cool while in the house, so as we were rushing […]
