Picture extortion

My son came home from school a few weeks ago and presented me with a large packet filled with high-gloss portraits of himself, picture magnets, bookmarks with his face on it and a bunch of other fancy stuff. "Mom, aren't these cool," he gushed. They sure were, but I didn't order these...

EMERGENCY!

If you were in the Hershey Outpatient Clinic on Friday night, that was my son screaming his head off. Sorry. You must admit though, the kid has super lungs!

Mercy me!

A church leader recently impressed upon me the necessity for mercy, not only for others, but for ourselves. I was shocked because when I mess up I always go straight to self-loathing—or chocolate—usually both...

About This Blog

About this Blog

Looking for puppy’s breath and baby kisses? Move along please.

Want a laugh? Then you’re in the right place. Welcome. Hang out with me. Be my new bestie! My weekly blog is about anything and everything: From why I haven’t gone to the bathroom without an audience in 8 years, my kids, or my not-so-secret romance with Peanut M&M’s. You just never know. Give me a spin because I was totally serious about the bestie thing. (Eyes on you)

I have two boys, ages 6 and 8, an incredibly fat Labradoodle dog and a hot, bald husband. Clowns, bees, hyper-aggressive people and mimes weird me out. Cooking, the smell of a campfire and everything from the 70s and 80s make me all gushy and melty inside. My favorite words are: shenanigans, snarky and trebuchet. And I strongly suspect, now that it’s out there, that I’m a total geek because I actually admit to having favorite words. Sigh.

If you’re not into a weekly commitment (I mean seriously, we just met), my award-winning syndicated plain jane column runs every month in Central Penn Parent magazine. Oh, and before I forget, I have a website and I’m on Twitter and Facebook. So stalk, follow and friend me ASAP!
