30 things to be Thankful for on Thanksgiving

The latest Facebook craze has been to list one thing you are thankful for every day this month. In the interest of saving my status updates for things that are just plain insane (like my Dad feeding the cat shrimp), and because I have this awesome space, I figure I’ll use it to make Continue reading →

National Adoption Day and me

Happy National Adoption Day! I’ve seen it celebrated on different days in the past week, and it makes me think of a lot of things. As an adopted kid, I’m one of the lucky ones. Adopted as an infant and lucky to have parents who were really pioneers. They were risk takers in the Continue reading →

Amazon is just looking better and better right about now.

Loathe though I am to admit it, I know that the holiday season is (almost) here, and sadly, the retailers have started shoving this down our throats. The deals are spectacular and looking at the Black Friday ads, this is about as good as we’re going to get for deals. So, knowing this, and being Continue reading →

Beating the long trip boredom

You’ve got a long trip ahead-you’ve got a restless kid in the back of the car, on the plane, on the train or however you’re getting there. What’s a parent to do? Well, you could tell them to read a book. But if they’re anything like me, I get carsick reading. It’s not a pretty Continue reading →

An Open Letter to Price Chopper

Dear Price Chopper, Thank you so much for inviting me to your Holiday 2011 Showcase. It was my first local blogger event and I had no idea what to expect. Walking in was a full on sensory assault-the smells, sights and beautiful decor was amazing. No detail was left unattended to! From the snowflakes on Continue reading →

My Wild Blogalicious Weekend, part 4-heading home and putting it all together

When we last left, I was crashed in bed on Saturday night, deciding how in God’s name to get everything home. See, no one warned me about the swag. Yeah. My little roller suitcase wasn’t going to do anything to get all of this home. OY. I packed my stuff up, knowing full well that Continue reading →

My Wild Blogalicious Weekend part 3- Late night breakfast, Rene and curly hair

Before the drama of parent conferences hit, I left y’all with me heading to bed going into Saturday. I fell asleep really, really quickly because I was insanely tired. Remember-I’m not a good sleeper. I was up at the crack of dawn (again) and dawdled my way down to breakfast. My addiction to pesto cream Continue reading →

Parent Conferences and the Special Needs Kid

Tuesday was the first parent conference of the year. I’m going to make this clear as crystal. I hate parent conferences. I hated them as a kid, I hated them as a teacher and I REALLY hate them as a parent. Seriously-when you have a special needs kid, a lot of these conferences are listening Continue reading →

My Wild Blogalicious Weekend, Part 2-Coffee, tears and tray passed cheeseburgers

So, when I last left y’all, I was heading to bed on Thursday night, feeling so deer in the headlights that I didn’t know how I was going to sleep. BUT, I did fall asleep, and did it kind of fitfully. See, I’m not a good sleeper outside of my own bed. Especially the first Continue reading →

My Wild Blogalicious Weekend, part 1-the beginning

I never win anything. Seriously. This year notwithstanding, I win nothing. Now, sometimes, I keep my hopes intentionally low, so when I do win something I act like I’m 5 and whoop around the room like I did when I won the hockey tickets. It is quite the sight. So, when I enter contests, Continue reading →
