So we bought these little tropical fish to keep Sweetness’s water frog company. We bought 3. Yesterday, one died. She was playing on her new best friend so I wasn’t going to bother her. I fed the fish, unceremoniously picked up “Floater” and tossed him in the trash. That evening at dinner I figured I’d […]

You’ve got to love Seattle. It’s beautiful, clean and green. Yet, you have to realize, those of you from warmer and dryer climates, it’s clean and green because there is liquid coming from the sky on a regular basis. It rains a lot in Seattle. Now, honestly, I do get kind of tired of this […]

I recently learned a dear friend is expecting her third child. We met just after we found out we were pregnant with our first children. We were pregnant with our second kids around the same time too and now that she has her third on the way, and I’ll never have another, I’m waxing nostalgic […]

I got the kids two aviator bears as souvenirs during our trip. They were a gift from one of our meeting hosts, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Mr. Man just snuggles his. Sweetness, however, stripped hers naked. It was a little disconcerting to discover the aviator bear laying in her bed wearing nothing but his silk tie […]

Joy at The Practical Moms Guide recently posted photos of her daughter’s first birthday party and how she dove into her cake. She shared how she did things differently with child number 2 than she did with child number 1. Then she asked for readers to comment on their own child-eating-cake stories. After writing possibly […]
