So if you’ve been around for a while, you might remember that my husband has a crush. If not, go click on that link and catch up. The basic idea is that there is a perfume, somewhere out there in the world, that my husband smells periodically, and finds it the most romantic aroma in […]
Life Lesson #660: Why To Put The Lid Down.
If you have a singing-when-tinkled-in potty for potty training purposes, always close the lid. And especially don’t leave the lid up while you’re showering. The shower steam will build up in the potty and make it think that someone just tinkled, thereby giving you a loud, rousing song of accomplishment and congratulations. Which will scare […]
An Open Letter To All Automobile Manufacturers.
Dear Car Companies (please especially perk up, Mr. Honda and Mr. Toyota), I am a Mom. I am twenty-seven years old. Which means that I am young enough to have experienced the minivan as a kid, thereby forever sealing the impression into my head that minivan = OLD MOM. I’m not against minivans in general, […]
At Least Now I Know HOW She’s Spying on Me…
Dolly Parton is reading my blog. Either that or she really IS all-knowing. You remember how I told you about Dolly sending multiple books “encouraging” more siblings ONLY to us, a family with only one child? How she is obviously spying on us and trying to manipulate us? Well now she’s just plain messing with […]
What’s In a Name? Sometimes, TOO Much.
I’ve been searching for a month for a book we own, “Who’s Who in the Bible”. Chris’ Grandma passed it on to us many years ago, which makes me think that it was most likely some premium from Reader’s Digest. But it’s quite the book – 315 pages of every SINGLE name mentioned in the […]
Extreme Hair Makeover: According to the Husband.
So about every six months, I get bored and frustrated with my hair. I want something new, but yet I’m usually too afraid to actually TRY something new (just like last time I bemoaned this subject). In my estimation, there are three options, of which you can do any or all, to change your hair […]
How Did Alabama Get the Short End of the Beach Stick?
I wrote this on Tuesday for Alabama Bloggers. And, since I have been completely busy AND unbelievably sleepy, (which equals no blogging time), I thought I’d try to sneak one past you guys and reprint something I wrote for somewhere else, hoping that some of you would maybe have not read it at Alabama Bloggers. […]
The Unfortunate Case of Frog Duck-Butt.
(For the record, I can’t pronounce the title of this blog without getting tongue twisted. Go ahead, try it – I bet you can’t either.) Yesterday, we had a blissfully wonderful Memorial Day family outing to the mall. Now, in Birmingham, although we DO have multiple choices, “The Mall” automatically means The Riverchase Galleria. It’s […]
Today’s Hot Teenage Trend: Geezer.
Okay. I am going to totally step on some fashion toes here. So please, accept the fact that I am certainly no style guru, that this is just my opinion, and, well, just forgive me from the front end. I have been a bit bewildered by style lately. Particularly, the style of teenagers. Because the […]
I’d Hate to Catch a Whiff of Women Back Then. . .
On Sunday, we had a baby shower during Sunday School for Christen, Ryan and their upcoming baby Aubrey. It was a lot of fun – so much fun that poor Chris never got to teach. As we were getting ready to leave, one of the mentor ladies in our class (read here: older than us […]
