We don’t know yet! We have a new addition to our family, but he doesn’t have a name yet! It’s hard for a family of 6 to all agree on the same name for a new puppy… As you probably know, our beloved almost 12-year-old dog passed away a week before Christmas. If you know […]
Wow – that last post was such a downer that I decided to write a little follow-up – I’m feeling better! I took forever in the shower, and my son is still napping! And the two girls have been playing together… funny how the house calms down when a certain little Kindergartner is at school.
My husband works from 9:30 to 5 on weekdays, which leaves me the job of holding down the fort. My kids are generally good kids, and they are adorable, so it should be a fun job. But I’m not having fun today. I’ve had 3 kids crying literally constantly today from 9-12:30. Taylor is 10,

What seems like ages ago, I was a big fan of Lost. I didn’t watch the first season when it aired, but all the buzz about it got me curious, so my husband and I gave the first season dvd’s a try – and really liked it! But then the second season of Lost wasn’t

Have you seen the dog who can read on the news lately? The really cool-looking dog named Willow was on the Today show in October; here’s a snippet: So what’s your opinion? Can he really read or is it much ado about nothing (ie, the owner is doing something else to signal the trick)? [poll
It’s always fun to read about friendship that crosses the boundaries between animal species. I received some cute pictures of a cat and her deer friend via an email forward. What’s interesting is that friendships between cats and deer don’t seem to be as uncommon as one would think – I was having trouble getting

Well, it’s not a full moon tonight, but you could have fooled me. My kids are acting completely nuts today; I just had to get away from them for a few minutes for some “me” time to vent and blog this out. Ok, it’s not really “me” time; the kids are right here, they just
Mostly, it was worse than I thought it was going to be, but I survived. I spent the night at the hospital last night undergoing a sleep study. These are becoming increasingly common, and many people experience anxiety beforehand, so perhaps I can help by describing it to someone who doesn’t know what to expect.
