Ok, so being pregnant, I anticipated I might be faced with the task of explaining to my 4 year old “WHERE BABIES COME FROM.” Having had a c-section with her, and planning a c-section with this one – I had an easy escape route for the conversation about how baby comes out (so that scar…
Since finding out we’re having another girl, I have names on the brain. After writing down all the names that came to mind without help, I turned to the internet to search for other possibilities. Which led me to think about the name I had already chosen for child #1. This name sort of created…
Is what we have to convince our firstborn to think of – since we found out this morning that… she has her heart set on naming Baby Sister, “Barbie” which we are not too keen on. We’re pretty sure what the first name is going to be, and now just have to decide on a…
It was a wonderful Christmas, a truly great holiday (except for the uncomfortable moments with my brother, when I wish I would have bought and brought my present suggestion from Day 18 … it sure would have come in handy.) Lots of special moments enjoying being with family and opening presents, and lots of great…
I’m tired. Really quite exhausted actually. So I’m just feeling too lazy to search the internet galaxy for bizarre bargains to bestow upon your brethren.

Mary may have an immaculate conception, but she still had to carry that babe around for 9 months before her big night in the manger. So…what gifts might Mary have enjoyed if she was an expectant Mama in the 21st century? Me? I’d be happy with massages, pedicures, and tea – but I though you…
Christmas Gift Idea Day #8: It’s always fun to see little kids open gifts in spasms of energetic delight and delighted ecstasy, but it’ harder to get such a response from the older set. Besides, it’s much more entertaining to pull their leg a little and get them something unexpected – something they may not…
So, I’m a bit backlogged on the present list here…things have been a tad hectic – and one of the main issues I’ve been dealing with is a sick canine. I am a dog owner – I just have never had the dog I own live with me…when I bought the dog I was in…
Christmas Gift Idea Day 12: Well, Jesus is the reason for the season, as they say. Which makes this just about the most perfect Christmas gift ever: the Talking Jesus Doll. He talks (including 25 pre-programmed phrases) and comes with his own Certificate of Authenticity…I’m not sure about the walking on water thing – you’ll…
