Monday Giveaway Linky – Super Bowl 50 Edition
Good Evening, Heroes! I just finished watching the Super Bowl earlier tonight. It was fun! I admit that I rarely pay attention to professional sports, but this was pretty enjoyable. I don't have anything against pro sports (or football), I just don't usually watch it...
Monday Giveaway Linky: Early is TOO Early Edition
Good Morning, Heroes! Normally I try to write the Monday post on Sunday night, but this weekend I was just too tired. So I went to bed. Now I am up super early, having taken the boys to school. I want to go back to sleep! But I owe it to you to get this published so...
Monday Giveaway Linky – Hell’s Kitchen Edition
Heroes, it has been a moderately relaxing weekend. I like it! I've been watching early episodes of Hell's Kitchen on Netflix, and have discovered the joy that is Gordon Ramsay. The man is hilarious! Of course, I wouldn't think that if he was in my kitchen screaming at...
They Put Away the Laundry!
A big battle around here (for WAAAAAAYYYY) too long has been laundry. Essentially, I refused to do it anymore for the older boys several years ago. This is because when I entered their room every morning to get them up, I was wading through piles of clean (CLEAN!!)...

Sometimes as a Parent, You Lose Control of the Conversation
So yesterday near the end of the day I sank gratefully into my oh-so-amazing couch under a delicious pile of blankets and called the dogs to come snuggle with me. As a side note, I have to tell you: I LOVE this couch. We got it last summer. It's a 2-piece sectional,...
Inspire Peace With Ping Pong Diplomacy
So I learned about a new way to handle arguments recently: Ping Pong Diplomacy. No kidding! You can settle all sorts of disputes with Ping Pong. One thing about twin boys is that they can argue. A lot. The older boys have perfected their technique and squabble like an...
Monday Giveaway Linky – 2016 Resolution Edition
Happy New Year, Heroes! How are ya? Are you good? I'm pretty good. Now that we're in resolution season, I'm going to try SUPER hard to be a better blogger and get some writing done around here. Honest. Really. The boys have all been in school for a few months, and...
