Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
When I started this blog, I intended it to keep it light-hearted and hopefully a little funny. But this story about the Long Island Walmart stampede has been weighing heavily on my heart since I first [...]

Before I share my selections of super creepy kids books with you all, I have to tell you about this blog I found. It’s called Cake Wrecks and it is so funny that if you don’t laugh at it, then there is something plumb wrong with you. Seriously. Here’s the URL: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com. (You will notice [...]
Things You Should Know About 13 Year Old Boys.
Posted in Funny, Funny Posts, tagged Humor, Random, weird news on November 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »
You should never give a 13 year old boy a donut and a coke for breakfast. Why not? Because it isn’t healthy. But that is completely secondary to the real reason. That much sugar winds them up and, let’s face it, 13 year old boys aren’t generally the most normal non-rabid acting creatures anyway. When you give [...]
Easy Handmade Christmas Gifts – Part I
Posted in Craft Projects, tagged bookmark, Craft, handmade Christmas gift on November 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Do you ever have people tell you, “Gee. I’d love to make some Christmas gifts, but I’m not very crafty and I wouldn’t know where to start.”? I get that a lot. Probably because I’m kind of seen as a miniature Martha Stewart around the blogosphere. But nice homemade gifts do not have to be difficult or expensive. [...]
Grow A Monkey.

You know how sometimes you get an overwhelming urge to get a pet monkey? For me, it’s usually concurrent with other PMS symptoms like irritibility and an unquenchable craving for fried chicken covered in Hershey’s syrup. Anyway, there’s good news. I found the answer and all you need is water! The Dollar Tree has these [...]

When we bought the car seat for our kiddo, it came with a 24 page booklet of warnings and instructions.
The paper shredder at my office came equipped with 6 pages of warnings and instructions. There is even a little picture printed directly onto the machine that shows a baby with an “X” through it. I [...]

I’m going to get all corny and mushy on you here tonight. That’s your fair warning, if corny makes you gag, then just stop reading now.
My one year old daughter Shelby loves to go through peoples’ purses. No, smart aleck, we did not teach her to go for the wallets, it seems to be a natural instinct [...]

Most of you all know by now that I am a sucker for vintage children’s illustrations. That said, I’m also kind of immature and I crack up at some of the things that used to be printed in childrens’ books.
I stole this Betty Crocker’s Cook Book for Boys and Girls from my mom last night. [...]
This year’s must-have toy.

I was in Estes Park this weekend at a scrapbook retreat. It was gorgeous as always. My friend, Jackie, and I wandered into town to blow the stink off (as my dad calls it). We went into this little shop with all sorts of neat science and nature stuff; at the back of the shop was [...]
