Oh For The Love Of Shorties!

Hi and welcome to my happy little corner of the blogosphere. It’s kind of like a mommy timeout here. It’s where you can go when you just need a little adult interaction, a good laugh, or a minute to focus on something that doesn’t need to be cleaned, cooked, or chauffeured. And you may be reading this on [...]

When Simple Math Isn’t At Walmart

Wow! So I went to Walmart and the customer ahead of me was writing a check for her purchase. The customer told the cashier that she wanted $20 cash back and the cashier said okay. The customer’s total came to $19.39. So, yeah, add $20 and write the check for $39.39, right? Simple math, right? [...]

5 For Friday

Five things I’m LOVING this week: 1) Decluttering, reducing/reusing/recycling, upcycling, organizing, reorganizing, and clearing things out!

My shorties and I always look forward to our dates and it’s [...]

Believe In Superheroes

My little guy has always believed that the streaks in the sky were from Superman. You know, the streaks left behind by airplanes. Or Superman. Today, my son pointed to a streak in the sky and asked “what is that?” I asked what he thought it was and he said he didn’t know. His response [...]

Life Lessons For My Shorties

As a mother, my instinct to protect my shorties is powerful. When asked what mommy’s #1 job is, my shorties will answer “to keep us safe.” During the pregnancy and infant stages, it was relatively easy to keep my shorties safe. It gets progressively more difficult to protect them. When they’re so little, it’s more [...]
