Science with Kidzilla – Planets Edition
Before leaving work today, I called Fab Hub and Kidzilla to let them know I was on my way home. Kidzilla got on the phone… “Uranus, Uranus, Uranus…” Please, God, let my daughter be talking about a planet and not someone’s butt. Amen.
Springtime Promises
Fab Hub and Kidzilla discovered a new tenant on our street when we returned from church on Sunday afternoon…
Saturday Morning Throwback
Apparently, Saturday morning cartoons are not quite what they used to be. I spent considerable time thinking about this over the last couple of days. Kidzilla and I have matching sinus infections (lovely) and so we all took it pretty easy this weekend. On Saturday, all Zilla really wanted to do was curl up and…
Five Friday Favorites – Random Monday Edition
I started this list last Wednesday thinking I would be all set to publish on Friday. Didn’t happen. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have five things on the list. Maybe it’s because we were busy doing a hundred other things. Who knows? At any rate, better late than never, here are this last week’s favorites – completely…
Five Friday Favorites – Comfort Food Edition
How did it get to be Friday? Somehow this week has really sped by me, despite the fact that it has felt eternal. In addition, it’s been mostly cold with some snow and ice this week – real curl up under a blanket and hibernate weather. And so in homage to the icy depths of…
The Food Post That Almost Wasn’t
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I did not fall off the planet and into a black hole. And despite the fact that I really hate when I hear myself say “I’ve been busy” in response to a question about what I’ve been doing or how I am, the truth is that we really have…
Five Friday Favorites (on Monday) – Thanksgiving Weekend Edition
I probably could have called this the “broken” edition of Friday Favorites considering we have a broken microwave and at least two other things around the house that need to be repaired. Do wild animals live here? Instead, I have simply collected my favorites from this long holiday weekend in hopes that it will make…
Mother-Daughter Haircuts
Kidzilla and I took a trip to the salon for haircuts this afternoon. Finally! We were both way overdue and it feels great to have a fresh cut and style. I always love and hate my hair right after a cut. On the one hand, it feels healthy and smooth and what I call “swingy.” …
Not On A School Night!
I can still hear my Mom’s voice responding to whatever the current request was at the moment… “Can we watch a TV show that comes on at ten o’clock?” Not on a school night. “Can we make brownies?” Not on a school night. “Can Susie Bestfriend sleep over?” Not on a school night. “Then can I…
