pterodactyl moths from hell!
Last night we had a huge, bird-sized moth in our bedroom! Ugh, I hate moths! And if you can believe it, my husband hates bugs even more than I do, so guess who had to kill the damn thing?!? Ah, the things we do for …

the biology of cuteness and starting over
Did you know that cuteness is a biological construct? The over-sized head, the big wide puppy-dog eyes, cute little button-nose – children are born like that so their parents are inclined not to eat them for breakfast. It enhances the instinct to bond and create …
freak your hubby out tuna/noodle/EGG! casserole
First of all, this is not a recipe, because I am not a chef – I just throw stuff in a pan and sometimes it works. Second of all, be warned if you try this, your hubby just might freak out as if you’ve just …
banned for life!
I almost forgot there was a reason we don’t go to the park. He was the worst little boy EVER! He was playing so nicely, and he played for about an hour, which is plenty long enough, I think. Then it was lunch time – …
