Kids say the funniest things. I feel like I repeat that daily. But it’s true! My latest “kids funny” happened when I was at my kids’ school to volunteer in the school library. On my way to the library, I passed my daughter’s 3rd-grade classroom, and a friend of hers was sitting in the hallway…

A Mom’s Message To Daniel Tiger
Damn you Daniel Tiger. Yes, you are cute. Yes, you teach good lessons to my son. And yes, I love you much more than SpongeBob. But damn you for singing one song a hundred times in each episode. I end up with that song stuck in my head… all day long. My son likes to…
“OMG, That’s Like So Last Year!”
MOMENTS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH My kids and I were driving to visit family this weekend when I saw a sign that said “Giant Tag Sale Today”. I love a good tag sale. Whatever you call it… garage sale, yard sale, lawn sale, estate sale (I know, those are slightly creepy), rummage sale, moving sale,…
Things Kids Love to Say Over and Over (and Over and Over Again)
Kids are creatures of habit. I am sure there are many reasons behind the psychology of why they repeat the same things over and over, but it can be exhausting for parents. Some days, I feel like my life is the movie Groundhog Day (I know you remember it, with Bill Murray, where the day…
Kids Fall Asleep In The Funniest Places
Kids fall asleep in the funniest places. And often in hilarious positions. They get to the point of exhaustion and just collapse wherever they are. My kids are no exception. I’ve gathered some of my favorite photos of my children asleep in funny spots. Yes, I take pictures! Usually the hubby and I have a good…
4 Ways Parents Embarrass Their Slightly Older Little Ones
Ways parents embarrass their kids? Hmmm, I’d have to say the list is endless. Up until they were about age 4 or 5, my kids weren’t often embarrassed by me or their dad. We could say or do anything goofy, loud, silly. And they wouldn’t mind. I just asked my cute 5-year-old if I ever embarrass…
Sing It Loud, Sing It Proud
TODAY’S MOMENT: INNOCENCE While I was cooking dinner one night last week, my 8-year-old daughter danced into the kitchen singing. Her sweet voice was loud and proud. For one quick moment I thought about how beautiful and innocent it sounded. Then I realized what she was singing. The Fun song… We Are Young. A song…
Embracing Kids’ Endless Enthusiasm
MY MOMENT: Life with an enthusiastic five-year old. As I watched my son speed-walk to his school classroom this morning (he speed-walks, only because he knows he’s not allowed to run in school, otherwise he definitely would have been running); I thought about how cool it is that he does everything with so much enthusiasm….
Why Gross Stuff Is So Funny To Kids
Life can be gross. And gross stuff is funny. Just ask any kid. Especially my 5 and 8-year-old. Gross words are hilarious to them now. Utter any sentence with the word “poop”, “vomit”, “butt” or “toilet”, and my kids erupt into giggles. I said a new friend’s last name tonight – Butler – and my…
Top 5 Mom Items I Wish Someone Would Invent
I’ve always wanted to invent a new product. I’ve had a couple of good ideas, but then I usually discover it’s already been invented. Or I see someone on “Shark Tank” with it! That always sucks – I think “Oh man, I was this close”. This portable potty seat, for example. Out of pure necessity,…
