Why Dave will be the one helping with math homework

Dave’s favorite TV show is Smallville. And I must admit, it is a guilty little pleasure for me, too. Tom Welling, anyone?

We are just finishing up watching Season 5 on DVD. And since we did not see a single episode of Season 6 (it was on at a bad time), we are not quite ready [...]

FREE RYKA SHOES!!

Do I have your attention? Thought so.
My friend, Beth, is having a shoe giveaway over at I Should Be Folding Laundry.
And because she is so doggone generous, she’s actually giving away a 2nd pair over at Tales From the Scales.

Two free pairs of Ryka shoes, people! And you can enter at both places!
WHY ARE YOU [...]

Thursday Thirteen - Jake

So last Thursday, I took care of 13 Emmaisms. What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t put the spotlight on my son this week? So without further ado, here are 13 things that make Jake Jake.

Reading - Jake has been reading since he was about 3 1/2. He’s a boy genius, I [...]

I made it today but a [...]

Smart Habits Saturday

Things have actually been going really well here, this week, despite the fact that I am a day late on getting this post up. Jacob is still having a few outbursts every now and then, but for the most part we’ve been having a lot of fun. It’s helped that I have been taking the [...]

Nothing to read

I am officially suffering from a Harry Potter lull.
I finished the book about a week ago, and I have yet to find something that I can sink my teeth into. I’ve started a book that Dave just finished, but that’s more of a “treadmill read” than a “shirk all other duties read”.
What’s everyone reading [...]

Thursday Thirteen - Emma

I’ve taken up the habit of apologizing to my mom about once a week for any, um, undesirable behavior I may have exhibited as a child. Because I’m quite certain karma has come back to bite me in the backside.
Emma is a drama queen. And she’s a ham. And while she is quite possibly the [...]

What’s left…

I’m not entirely sure how my collection started. I remember my boyfriend at the time was named David (not my husband) and I think he was the one who bought me my first one. Then suddenly, people just started buying them for me. The strangest part is, I don’t even like the candy.

At the height [...]
