TToT – The Dance of the SGV

I need to go lie down. Seriously. I was on my way out the door to Zilla’s school to volunteer in the library today and all of a sudden…sick. Blah. Not the best way to start off a list of thankfuls, is it? But let’s go with that for a second.

FTSF – The Memory That Haunts Me

The memory that haunts me is the one I do not have. My memories don’t haunt me. I do not live my life with regrets. OK, maybe if pressed for something I would change, I’ll admit that I probably should have stuck with the piano lessons and taken better care of my teeth. I don’t…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago

Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

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.

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…

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…
