Said the giant before Jack whooped his bottom and took away his essence of being a giant altogether! Ok...how does that make any sense you ask? I'll tell you...just let me spin out my tale a bit more... Parenting. Glorious parenting. Tis fun. Tis joyous. Brings tears to your eyes at times (for many reasons,... Continue Reading →

Another take on parenting...a funky one at that.
Mommyhood: Some Truths
Any mother will eventually admit to this- they love their kids the most when the children are either asleep or doing something that doesn't require them (the moms) to be an active participant all the time. See the thing with kids is this- you are doing things with them, for them, watching them do things... Continue Reading →
A Pesky Beauty Pimp!
This transcript has been reproduced here to my best recollection and is verbatim. And YES. It did happen. Exactly how it reads. Full points for persistence to the person on the other side of the phone though I'll keep my obesity, skin problems and unwanted hair, thank you very much! Me: Hello. Customer care rep:...

We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →

This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
School Shopping
