A beautiful day deserves a picnic so we decided to have our Easter festivities with the family and have a grill out and Easter egg hunt for the kids at our local park. Being such fans of holidays (see my About Page), we always manage to make each one a special and unique event and…
WARNING: Nonsensical ranting. I reread it three times and there is just no saving it. I had to either publish or trash it and I just didn’t feel I could rewrite it with any more cohesiveness. You have been warned. 🙂 Yesterday’s post got me thinking. Why am I a person that stands up and…
I have struggled with writing this post (as I tend to do with anything that can be perceived as a controversial topic) for a few days now and this is because I have grown into a person that does not thrive in controversy any longer. I have my opinions and at times, feel the need…
Today was Jp’s mandatory 6 month speech evaluation. Let me tell you, he did so much better than I expected! He actually pointed to children doing things in books. I almost fell over right then and there and died of shock. Dana: Point to the child that is sleeping, Jp. (At this point I am…
Actually my test. And no, I don’t still have it, this is from Facebook. 😉 The other day my husband and I were discussing the plans for Easter. Usually, we have it at our house and we do all of the cooking but this year everyone decided that they wanted to barbecue at a local…

Today I am going to begin a brand new Friday tradition. I shall call it “Freestyle Fridays”. While I attempt to keep my blog cohesive and focused as a humorous parenting blog, I am a person and a woman who has interests and ideas outside of being a Mom and a Wife. Friday is going…

I love to cook. It’s a passion. Just think of me of as a skinnier version of Paula Dean with less of an accent. I was raised to and have been cooking true home style southern food for as long as I can remember. It’s my thaaang. Which makes it even more hilarious that my…

I like to think that I have some pretty good qualities. I am bright and quite capable with very little instruction required to learn new or foreign subject matter. What I am not, however, is -at all– creative in any fashion. I first learned this particular personal fact in High School when I took my…
