Tonight we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's as a surprise before N heads to Pre-K on Tuesday. The kids had a blast. I ended up running into a friend from church so that was nice. Other than that we enjoyed the pizza, games and of course getting to turn in all of our…
I took the kids to Irish Fest today and we had such a great time. The kids got to get their faces painted, jump on bounce houses, be part of a cool concert, and eat some yummy food! They split a fresh squeezed cherry lemonade and some hot kettle corn. They also each got a…
Although I never take a day off as a mom (as I am sure many of you can relate to), I am looking forward to a few good things this weekend. I am finally getting a much needed – and deserved – haircut and color. I am excited to try out the LifeSpa at the gym. …
N is getting quite excited about starting Pre-K next week. We began our countdown earlier this week with a cool countdown paper chain that N gets to take a link off of each day as we get closer. And I'm sure we'll end up having one last hurrah this Labor Day weekend before he heads of…
I hate very much dislike tech support of any kind. I've recently been tinkering with some software I am looking to upgrade to that will bring major changes to my website that I am so psyched about. The downside of that though is that I need like a week un-interrupted to hash out all the…
Recently I've been telling N to "act your shoe size, not your age!" when his behavior is less than acceptable. I am not looking forward to the day I have to actually declare that as an opposite statement because that will mean he's getting bigger! He's such a great helper to me in ways I never…
Tonight I enjoyed a fun night out with a few local moms for some tasty treats! We celebrated Ladies Night at Melting Pot. I hadn't been there since the time I took my sister there and it was just as good as I remember it. We got a steal of a deal – two martinis…
I had an appearance this morning on KCTV 5 news, a station I actually had not been to before today, and I totally learned about something I never thought would actually happen. You know how when you watch the news and you see the anchors there, looking into the camera lens rattling off reports? Well, don't…
Today the kids and I went to Mr. Stinky Feet's 10 year anniversary celebration down at the Plaza library. We were all super excited to be going to help Jim celebrate. We were the first ones in line! The show was incredibly awesome and the kids and parents were having a ball. Jim had his…
Be brave enough to stick my hand inside my kid's diaper only to confirm that, yes, he had in fact taken a poop. Be jumping at the chance to finish the half-eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich or cold toast that my kids left behind, because it was the only small chance I had at eating something…
