Should I feel disgusted or flattered?My son, who is 11-1/2 years old has this small conversation with me:Son- "Mom, please don't pick me up from school anymore".  Mom- "Why, is there anything wrong?" "Was some kid teasing you?"Son- "No, not really but one of my friends said you were hot and that is just plain nasty because you are; you know, motherly.  Yuk!"Mom- "Oh my god, really? Who was it?  Was it those two kids that were sitting in the office?"Son- "Yup.  I told them … [Read more...]

What to cook when your stove isn’t working

Yup, that's me.  I think about that daily.  I haven't had the luxury of cooking any food on my stove for almost 3 months.  Why?  Maybe it's because my husband is a little too lazy to buy the piece that needs replacement in the back of the stove so it doesn't leak propane all over the house.  Once that is done, we can have the of calling a propane company to deliver a propane tank so that I can cook real meals and bake. So we've been eating: Frozen pizza (Tony's Pizza or Ellio's)& … [Read more...]

Do you like designer things but without the designer price?

I know I do.  I've been known to buy some fake outs. What can I say?  I love the look but not the price tag.  Anyway,  I  just wanted to let my readers know that I found a wonderful site a couple of years ago and I have bought many items from them.  From earrings, bracelets and even a cubic zirconia engagement ring just to show DH what I wanted in a "real" diamond.  The ring is beautiful.  I would love to have a replica of it but in diamonds, of course and … [Read more...]

Kids say the darndest things

She says, "I took a bath today".  I was extremely puzzled because as soon as she got home from school, she ran to the basement to play with her Wii.  So I asked her, "Really, when?"  She replied with, "Today at school, remember today was Beach Day so we all got wet with water".  WHAT??!! I didn't know that if you get wet with water, that it is considered a shower.  I laughed and shouted/said, "Good try; get your butt in the shower NOW!!!"  She ran so quickly, I … [Read more...]

It's been awhile since I participated in the "Works-for-me-Wednesday".  I absolutely love these because I learn A LOT from other mommy bloggers.  I love to read helpful tips for my household and kids so that my life is a little easier. Here are a couple of things that ALWAYS works for me: *Whenever I want the kids to relax and chill out while I clean the kitchen or cook dinner, I always put them on the table and give them Play-doh.  This is something they are NOT allowed to play with any … [Read more...]

Are you in need of some professional printing materials?

Then you really should consider Vistaprint for all of your printing needs.  They are great.  I have bought many items from Vistaprint.  From business cards for my husband's company, rubber stamps for our personal use, greeting cards for his customers, cheap address labels, personal checks and even t-shirts.  The prices are cheap and very reasonable but the best thing about it is that the quality is absolutely the best.  No other company can give you great prices as well … [Read more...]

About Father’s Day

Father's Day's isn't the same for me anymore.  I mean I love to celebrate it for my husband because he is the father of our 3 kids; but since 1994, (the year my dad passed away) things haven't been the same for me.  Holidays are not as special.  Birthdays aren't that special either.  The really sad part is that my dad never had the chance to meet any of my kids.  My first child was born in 1996.  Another person that I miss dearly is my maternal grandfather.  He … [Read more...]
