My girl turned nine over the weekend, and to celebrate we bought her a girls birthday dress that we learned about here. She was so thrilled to put it on because it was so beautiful and the colors were so bold and fun. It made her skip and sing with delight when she tried it on for the...

We went camping this weekend. We don't do it often, because frankly, I'm getting to old to sleep on dirt. But the kids like it, so I try to suck it up without complaining too much. Plus afterwards, it makes me grateful to sleep in a real bed again. Oh, that feels heavenly....

You know how when you learn a new word, suddenly it seems like everyone is saying it. I remember when I learned the meaning of "jocular." The next day, I heard it everywhere. At school. On TV. At Weight Watchers class... Well, now I'm having a similar...

My mother warned me. My father threatened to disown me. But did I listen to them? Of course not. I was a know it all 24 year old, who just had to marry the world's biggest idiot. Maybe I thought it would put me in the Guiness Book of World's Records or something....

My older daughter just turned 10 and my little one is having a tough time of it. She so much wants to be a big kid, and she fears that now that her sister is a year older, she'll be even more left out of the fun. It's rough being the younger child. I remember what it's like....

My cousin managed to score some tickets for us for the premiere of the latest Pixar movie. I'm telling you, those people know how to make a feature film. The visual effects were stunning, the story was heartwarming and engaging, and the acting was terrific. No wonder that...

We just adopted the cutest little kitten from the shelter. My girls have been after me for years to get one, and I finally broke down. After years of saying no, I upgraded it to maybe, and finally yes. My kids were thrilled. They played with him all day and into the night....
