So, yesterday was the first day of spring. I live in Texas – for a reason. In Texas, the first day of spring is typically just a formality, as usually by March 20, it’s been in the 70s and pleasant for weeks. Well, this year has been one for the record books in many ways. […]

I. Have. The. Best. Boys. Ev-ar. No, really, I do. I know that you think I’m biased, and I’m sure I am, but I still have the best boys ever. They are funny, sweet, smart, caring, and just generally wonderful. How many 9 year olds do YOU know who won’t let their pregnant step-mom carry […]

Needless to say, I worked from home today. I mean, when Mr. I-love-snow-and-cold, aka my husband, called me after […]

Monday is the 100th day of school for the boys. In kindergarten, they make a very big deal about this, and the kids are quite excited. (I was informed by my very grown-up fourth-grader that the 100th day of school is ONLY a big dealy in kindergarten.) The kids got an assignment to create something wearable […]

…According to my 9-year-old, “Women like to go to their rooms and watch TV if they have one in there.” Now, to put it in context, he was telling me how his stepdad often stays up later than his Mom. I told him that was very normal–that lots of times married people don’t go to […]
