I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

Raising three little boys is quite the experiment, I have to say.  Each one is sooooo different, so just when you think you have this parenting gig all figured out, a child does something completely out in left field.  Then what?  Pretend you’re a new parent again and figure it out.

Monday Night Madness

Last night was our ward Halloween party.  In church a few weeks ago everyone was handed a letter saying they were accepted to the Hogwarts School Halloween Celebration.  I helped the activities chair come up with a lot of ideas for the party (she loves Harry Potter, but doesn’t know Harry Potter), and I helped [...]

An Open Letter to a Certain Band Parent

Dear Band Parent,
Thank you for your concern about your child and the future of the band under the direction of Mr. Chocolate Phoenix.  We understand you are concerned and that you take issue to a few of his policies, however we must clarify a few things for you.
First of all, if money is, was, or [...]

Mi Casa es Su Casa

I got the BEST surprise this morning.  One of my closest friends from Reno is in Southern California and she was supposed to be going to San Diego for a few days.  Because of the fires, she obviously isn’t going.  So she looked up the distance and realized from her dad’s place to mine is [...]

Dumbledore Outed

J.K. Rowling has made it official and has outed Albus Dumbledore at a recent event in New York.  Many people are shocked by this, for a variety of reasons.  I am one.  I didn’t see any of the supposed subtle hints that others have mentioned.  Mabe I’m just really slow on the uptake.  Or maybe [...]

Walking, Concert, Migraines

1.  Today was some big “walk to school” day.  So I made sure we got up early enough and I pulled out the monster of a double stroller we have, and out the door we went.  We walked Aiden to school today, and it felt really good to be out walking!!  At school they gave [...]

What to Read??

Alrighty, all my bloggin’ buddies (I was going to combine those two words, but then it came to “bluddies” and that just sounded weird).  I need more books to read.  I need suggestions.  So… I would like you to tell me 1) Your favorite author; 2) Your favorite book; and 3)  A good book you [...]
