Don`t Give the Kid Candy Before Bed!

Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 4 Comments

Warning, this is a bit of a rant.
Lately we`ve been having a serious problem with the in-laws.
They give Dorian candy. All. The. Time. It`s driving me insane. I can`t exactly lock him up in the house so he can`t traipse to their house and I`ve tried talking to them about it various times, but it [...]

Posted on July 5, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Last night, Irving and I went out for dinner. This is something that happens about two or three times a year, so it`s a big thing (though it is getting more frequent as the boys grow). It was spitting rain as we left on the motorcycle, but it wasn`t a big deal.

The time has come for me to move on . . . in my At Home Mom blog, that is. The free template I´ve been using there is lovely, but too limited for my purposes. Now that I´ve gotten to 1,000 visitors a day, I really need to make some space for ads and redesign [...]
