It’s never a good thing when, while cleaning your home, you hear your child mumble to himself in his room, “I have really gone too far”.
World Of Wonder

On Friday, E.B.’s class went on a field trip to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson. Our son has been so excited about this field trip, and not because he was going somewhere cool. He was much more thrilled that there was NO SCHOOL that day. My husband was the one who got [...]
Mommy And Me Time

The great thing about having a seven year old son is that he is old enough to enjoy dining and shopping now. Woot! We’ve had a great time this past week going out to eat and checking out some shops downtown that we don’t get to stop in very often. On Thursday evening we went [...]
County Fair VIP
April 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Every spring my son enjoys “VIP” status at the county fair that rolls into town. His Paw-Paw just happens to work with other members of the American Legion at the admission gates that week to raise money for their programs that support veterans. Therefore, on the last day of the fair (Saturday), E.B. enjoys VIP [...]
Unplugged Parenting
April 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I think I’ve discovered this week why it’s so much easier to not punish a child. It’s because when favorite toys or things are taken away from a child, they become bored and the responsibility to direct that energy towards something more creative and beneficial falls on the parent. Let’s face it, it would be [...]
hungry hungry hippos= winning!

Well, it’s day 2 of Spring Break and so far all I have accomplished is cleaning out a bookshelf in the living room, cleaning out the bathroom drawers and cabinets (which I am very proud of, by the way), and whooping my 7 year old son at Hungry Hungry Hippos. I know. I should be [...]
Sunday Sickies

E.B. woke up with a coughing fit at 2 AM this morning, then proceeded to get sick. All over the bed. It required a bath for him and lots of sheet washing. Once I got him bathed, he settled back in for the rest of the night and slept well. He has been fighting this [...]
Working Off Steam

Yesterday E.B. was in a grouchy mood. His video game was frustrating him and everything else, it seemed, in his little world was just not right. Poor baby. He gets it honest from his mama. It was a beautiful day, so my husband declared that it was time for this boy to get outside. So, [...]
Go Shorty, It’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
February 16, 2012 By 6 Comments
My little short guy turned 7 last Friday. I think a week to process this fact in my blown little mind (mah bay-bee is alll grown upppppp!!! *sniff*) is sufficient enough time to embrace it and become resigned to the fact that this really does happen to kids and someday he will sprout his little [...]
Smurf Cupcake Fail
February 9, 2012 By 2 Comments
Tomorrow is E.B.’s 7th birthday. I wish I had the time to bake him some homemade cupcakes to take to school for snack tomorrow, but I just don’t. So, I did the next best thing…I high-tailed it to Kroger to pick out some cool cupcakes with mile-high frosting and decorated with something way cuter than [...]
