Juice Box Jungle recently posted some info about spanking being replaced by shouting in today's families. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Have I ever spanked my kids? Yes. Do I think I'm a monster because of it? No. Do I regret it? No. Honestly, I feel ten…

Fun with pumpkin cookie cutters.
Today Will requested quesadillas for lunch. As an added bonus, I busted out the pumpkin cookie cutter in hopes that he’d be more inclined to eat the little pumpkins rather than two giant triangles, like I usually cut them. Who knew?! It made all the difference in the world. And…

I SO Hope We’re Not Invited to This Party!
Recently I read about parents holding Swine Flu parties in order to get their kids exposed to the virus while the strain is still weak. I was stunned. If you ask me, that's a pretty weak thing to do to your kids. Not only is it ridiculous to assume that…

Jacob David
I have the most wonderful excuse for not having blogged lately. Jacob David made his grand entrance last week and he's been a bundle of joy ever since! Jacob David arrived on Tuesday September 29, 2009 at 6:59 a.m. and weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 19 inches long.…

My kids are driving me MAD!
For the second day in a row and about the 10th time since school started just a little over a month ago, Nathan (Kindergartener) has gotten reprimanded for talking too much. I am sure my mom will read this and get a chuckle, as I too remember being known for…

Four week countdown to baby.
My baby boy #3 is officially due in four weeks. I am only praying he holds out that long! I've still got so much to do and prepare. Why is it so much easier to procrastinate these things the third time around? I am so anxious to meet him but…

Get those SIGGS replaced!
You can imagine how irritated I was a few weeks ago when news "leaked" (no pun intended) that SIGG was admitting that some of their bottles contained BPA. I was outraged to say the least. Not only had I spent more than acceptable for my kids' water bottles, but I did…

Officially a Kindergartener.
Today marked the first official day of Kindergarten – uniforms and all. Of course there was no way I could resist the urge to take pictures – AGAIN! But, good thing I have a pretty photogenic and cooperative boy! Nathan began the day with mini-bagels slathered with strawberry cream cheese and OJ…

Kindergarten Hour.
Today was Nathan's first day hour of Kindergarten. Despite the early morning hour, he was rather easy to wake up, much to my surprise. We took the traditional pictures of him and of course, our ever-popular back-to-school interview. Kindergarten interview from Candy Tai on Vimeo. School was only for an…

Kindergarten Eve.
We celebrated 'Kindergarten Eve' here today as my Nathan gets ready to head off (officially) for Kindergarten tomorrow morning. It's sort of a 'fake' first day of Kinder if you ask me, since he's only going for an hour! But nonetheless, it's still THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN tomorrow! I…
