Ten Things of Thankful – Kindergarten Edition
Am I the only one who didn’t know Kindergarten is really hard? For the parents? Kidzilla is well into the rhythm of Kindergarten, but her parents are still trying to keep up. Honestly, this is one of those topics that should come with the book that doesn’t come with the baby…
The Day We Did Nothing Together
Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to our own devices for the day. I thought of all the ways we could possibly spend…
Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…
Friday Favorites – Family Movie Night Edition (Dinner Included!)
The Disney Channel – a parent’s dream and nightmare all rolled into one. Want to render your kid absolutely still and silent for a while? Turn on Disney, Jr. for an hour or so. Then, try in vain to pry your child’s eyes away from the screen. It just sucks them in and turns them…
When All Else Fails, Resort to Cats or Food
I’m in the middle of about nineteen things this week. I have a few great things to share, but none really requiring an entire post. And so, in the interest of efficiency, I offer you just a few quick items of interest. First, this may just be my new favorite recipe ever.
Catching Up
A few days ago, Andrea wrote this post about catching up on an overwhelming number of blog posts…and why it’s important to her. Go read it. Really, go. I’ll wait. I could pretty much write the same post here – or at least a very similar one. Tonight, my blog feed told me I have…
Ten Things of Thankful – Back to School Edition
It’s been kind of a crazy week. Clearly, I was in absolutely no condition to start school. I cannot remember being this tired during the first week of school. I suspect part of it was the near-90s temps coupled with like 98% humidity. Horrible. And a definite part of the struggle for me was that Kidzilla and the…
Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story
A post inspired by the word diaper? I’ve so got this. There are some family stories that become legendary the moment they happen. They are the stories that are so completely unbelievable, that they simply have to be true. You know the kind – the ones that make people say “wow, you can’t make up stuff…
Focus on Getting Things Done
I am a terrible procrastinator. Or maybe I am a great procrastinator. Perspective is everything. Procrastination is something that many ADD/ADHDers struggle with. I am one of them. Always have been. Sometimes the procrastination arises from a decision – yes, a conscious choice to put something off. Sometimes it’s more situational or behavioral – it…
The Ten Best Meals of Our Marriage
As difficult as this is to narrow down to a mere ten, I was intrigued enough by Stasha’s Monday Listicles topic to enlist the help of the Fab Hub to help me try. This family loves good food and we have had many good meals. But if we had to pick ten of the best…
