Couch to 5k - I'm on my way!

I've started exercising...again. I really mean it this time, really. Not like the last time ... or the time before that . Really. Are you buying that? I hope so, because I need you to believe it so that i believe it. I want to get healthy, I want...

My biggest fear

I took the boys to Wildwood Highlands the other day (review to come soon). As we were leaving the boys talked me into a small thing of that stupid Pucker Powder nonsense. Nothing like pure sugar in a tube to help nap time, right? After the sugar high...

The things we do to make our kids happpy

I just have a funny story to share. Just like every parent I want my kids to be happy. This stems partly from me truly wanting their internal happiness and partly from me not wanting to hear them scream. :) This morning Ben took his diaper off after getting...

My many hobbies

I was cleaning out our guest room closet the other day (as part of my ongoing Operation Organization , I'm doing quite well!) and realized I have way too many hobbies. Wait, let me clarify that. I have *started* way too many hobbies, but have never...

Bring back the binky

I'm admiting defeat. I'm 2 for 2. I want the binky back. What am I talking about, you ask? Well, the taking away of the pacifier has also meant the end of daytime naps, for both of my children. Two for two. It wasn't so bad for Matthew because...

Operation Organization - how do you do it?

A friend of mine in Texas is selling her house. She has her realty listing up online and as I was looking at it my first thought was how neat everything was. She's got three small children, and I didn't see a single toy in sight. I have no idea...

Pittsburgh Family Fun - Goettman Street Spray Park

Pittsburgh Family Fun goes to the Goettman Street Spray Park A few weeks ago I asked if anyone knew of any local parks that had a water feature. My kids are crazy about water. Someone suggested that we check out the new spray park on Goettman Street in...

CONTEST CLOSED - Read all about it!

Now that summer is here we often find a bit more time on our hands for reading. I know I love to read but rarely get a chance to read until summer is here and we're out of school, take a vacation, etc. I'd like to help both encourage and support...

Crazy soccer dad

Soccer is coming to a close in a few weeks and I'm not sure what will provide me with blog material when it's done. Seriously, I had no idea soccer class would be so blog-worthy. If you're new, you can read about it here and here and here...

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails...being a "boy mom"

I somehow always thought I'd have both a boy and a girl. And then my imaginary husband and I would split up the duties...he'd take the "boy" stuff and I'd take the girl stuff. I imagined myself sitting in a pedicure chair next to...

Camping with kids - thumbs up or down?

A few of you have noticed that I've been somewhat absent for a few days. And that's for a good reason, I was in the woods with no phone, television or internet access. We didn't even get cell service. Let me back up. A few months ago my dear...
