Ramblings from a Dry Day
Words, words everywhere and not a one to post. I have been writing my little fingers off lately. Truly. The lack of posts here tells a different tale. Granted, I did admit the other day that much of the writing has been going elsewhere, off the blog. But still. I don’t like when this space…
Conversations with Kidzilla – Beer and Books
I love listening to my daughter talk. OK, that’s not always true. Sometimes Kidzilla starts speaking the moment her eyes open in the morning and she doesn’t stop until her eyes close again at night. And even then, sometimes she keeps right on going. On those days, it’s a bit much sensory input for my…
Science With Kidzilla – Shark Edition
Reason number 75 why I love that my child is a reader… Kidzilla saw the tweet and photo below on my screen a few days ago and said, “Hey, that’s a black-tipped reef shark!” Just when you thought it was safe to watch Discovery Channel in the summer… #SharkWeek2015 http://t.co/lmo4274Dmb pic.twitter.com/I45CLSSwsG — Frank Pallotta (@frankpallotta)…
Pardon Me, My 70s Are Showing
Anybody remember this song? Actually, you’ll probably remember the Coca-Cola commercial version better. It was a great commercial. But whichever version you recall, this is a pretty nice sentiment, if you think about it. A pretty darn nice sentiment. But what if that sentiment became action? What would happen? On February 20, 2015, United…
TToT – The One in Which I Tell You All of the Things
The Internet swallowed me. It seriously did. I hopped on the social media bandwagon and then…overwhelm. So many people – so many good people – to meet. And so many really amazing things to read. I couldn’t keep up. So I buried my head in the sand, stepped back, and said “whoa.” I am truly…
Friday Five – Things I Do Not Understand About My Blog
So I’ve had this blog for a couple of years now. I’m not even going to pretend that I understand most of the technical part of how it works. But I’m willing to poke around and look things up and read about whatever it is that I need to do. This usually works pretty well.…
FTSF – Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story
When the timing is right to jump into something, you know. Sometimes you just need the right combination of factors to fall into place together to make you say, “OK, it’s time to try this.” I have been reading posts here and there that link up to Finish the Sentence Friday, currently hosted at my…
TToT – Out There
It’s been a week. So many things going on here I can’t even sort them out quite right. But it’s good. It’s a good kind of whirlwind to be caught up in. Let’s get to it because I still have about fifteen things to finish tonight. First, I have to be pretty happy about the…
Friday Five – Why My Cat is an @$$hole
Anyone who says animals do not have personalities has never lived with one. Anyone who says cats do not do things intentionally for spite has never lived with my cat. You see, Cat One, as he is known here, has an attitude problem. Let’s get one thing clear straight away: he isn’t overly pampered. None…
Guest Post – Eli from Coach Daddy Talks Leftovers
That’s right. Leftovers. Food that was not consumed at some previous meal. Leftovers are a reality in every kitchen. If you tell me you don’t have any in your fridge right now or that you never eat them, well, I would have a hard time believing you. Moms love leftovers. At least this mom does. Leftovers give…
