It's going to be a bit tricky to keep up with blogging over the next few days since I am down to one computer. That's right peeps – my laptop crashed yet again last night. Thankfully, I was able to (with the help of my wonderfully smart and tech-savvy husband)…

What we’re reading.
Our reading habits totally go in cycles around here, as I am sure it does for most families. Right now the kids have really been digging these books: Do Stars Have Points? – N recently checked this out from his school library and D has been wonderfully reading it…

Five Things: A Mom’s Courage.
Going into the mall or other dedicated shopping establishment with your kid(s) and without a stroller. Showing up for a playdate someplace as the only mom who didn't bring snacks for her kid(s). Grocery shopping without a container of Cheerios. Taking your kid(s) with you to go bra shopping. And…

I am so irritated by some of the driving I witnessed today. Not only am I fearful for other children, but for my own as they grow and will eventually be riding bikes or possibly walking to school someday soon. The behavior I witnessed today was so ridiculously careless that…

Just a good ‘ol Kansas country boy.
For dinner tonight we had homemade cheeseburgers, fries, and corn-on-the-cob. I knew that W loved corn, but I didn't realize he'd end up eating nearly all of the corn I bought! The photo below is NOT doctored either….he really did eat from all of the corn on his plate! Dinner…

I was the featured speaker at a local women's networking meeting for eWomen Network - Kansas City chapter. This was such a cool speaking engagement! I really enjoyed giving an overview…
