In this week's edition of Five Things here are five things that W has picked up from big brother N. Some of these drive me crazy, while others make me laugh. Saying "fine!" after I ask him to do something he is reluctant to do. Saying "DUUUHH!" at the most random times! Saying "awww, mannn!" when something…
Today on the way back from N's violin lesson, we spotted a very small but quaint Farmer's Market that had set up shop on one of the busy roads of a nearby neighborhood. It was just N and I in the car so I decided that it wouldn't be too chaotic keeping up with just…
Today the kids and I made use of some of the goodies I picked up a while back at the Target dollar spot. They were these little capsules that you put into warm water and let sit for a few minutes until finally they turn into fun foamie dinosaurs. The boys had fun doing one…
Today I was featured on our local NBC news station during their live broadcast of the midday show. It was tons of fun and very cool to be on live TV. I’d definitely be up for doing that again. The only thing that caught me a little off guard was being outside for the interview…
Something totally random and weird happened today. As I was sifting through my mail I noticed there were three envelopes with the Target logo all over them and thinking they might be credit card offers or some other kind of junk mail, I almost threw them away. Well, good thing I didn’t. In each envelope…
I have been living it up these days with it being so hot and steamy for a change. I keep trying to push back the thoughts of how in just a few short months it will damn freezing cold, icy, slushy, and depressing outside. The thoughts of how I'll have to let the car warm…
Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I don’t enjoy cooking all that much, and that I am not particularly good at it either. The other night while D and I were watching our DVRd episode of one of our favorite shows, I was totally determined to find a good recipe for Bulgogi (Pul-Kogi), a.k.a.…
This week's edition of Five Things includes a collection of various things I've enjoyed the kids saying over the past week. They crack me up (and make me smile)! You're a good mommy. You're the best mommy ever! N said this to me in the most loving way today while sitting eating lunch. We need…
Today we lived the epitome of a summer day here at the T household. The kids and I busted out our kiddie swimming pools and wacky sprinkler thingy and I am not too proud to say that even I enjoyed a few runs through the sprinkler with the kids! This was just the sort of…
We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero themed cupcakes. We didn’t exactly…
