A Long Way to Go
Beppie, the girl who cares nothing for hygiene or order, who licks candies and sticks them to the floor, whose hair is almost always stuck to her face with some sort of unidentified goo, exclaimed while looking over my shoulder at Pinterest: “Ohhh! That’s me when I’m a mommy!” At least she has high hopes…
A Cautionary Tale in Pictures
A bit of wisdom from the school of hard knocks: Do not try to organize all of your family’s toys, clothes, and school supplies in the same day, unless you want your house to look like: and these pictures are only from one spot at 3 different angles. Bad idea. Bad idea.
I Can’t Imagine
There are moments in motherhood that our imaginations lack the capacity to prepare us for. I took Jack to urgent care because he had a 104 fever this evening (turned out to be an ear infection and he’s doing much better now).

(Soon she’ll wonder why he would pay attention to such a tedious list, when really all it needs to say is: Naughty=Everyone,… Continue reading Santa Beppie and Her List of Books
The ‘Spoiled Bumblebee’ Song

It was like Christmas, which gave us the idea to use all those points to pay for Christmas. Since I’m one of those people who likes to have as much shopping done before Thanksgiving as… Continue reading The ‘Spoiled Bumblebee’ Song
