It’s that time of year again – my daughter will be one of thousands of girls selling the yummily famous Girl Scout cookies. I’m not selling them online, but rather using my blog to post info you may need to help you decide how many boxes of what kinds you’d like to order. Click here […]
My son (after having only daughters for the past nine years, it seems weird to say the word son) must be teething. He will be 6 months old on Sunday already, and for the last 5 days, he’s been crying constantly. Yesterday was the exception, but 4 of the 5 last days, he’s been crying

No, I’m not talking about the oranges called Cuties. Have you heard of those? They’re small oranges especially grown to be kid-friendly: less sour taste, seedless, and easier to peel and smaller than regular oranges. I’ve been wanting to try them for our family, but when I finally remembered to pick them up at Walmart,

Remember that CNN.com article I wrote about the unusual names? The article spotlighted a little girl named Indiana Elizabeth Jones and her brother, Dow. Well, this post is not going to be about them. Rather, it’s an excuse to post a cute photo of my 4-year-old daughter wearing an Indiana Jones-like costume. For the real buffs out there,
