Inside Out…
We took the kids to see Inside Out when it was in theatres. Whirlwind dug it a ton. 4 year old Bot, not so much. When the movie was over he loudly announced, “Was that it?” “Yes.” I replied. “But nothing was Inside Out…” he…

The Girls Club…
When my seven year old came home from school and told me that she was in a Club, I was less then enthused. I remembered girls clubs from when I was a kid. It was a stressful experience. What if my friends were asked to…
My Little Athlete…
I’m not sure which sport or activity is going to stick for Whirlwind. She sort of digs it all. Swimming, dance, soccer, running. She just digs life, that kid. I mean look at that face…. Yes, I just posted a photo of winter. Please forgive…

Kids Say The Darndest Things…
Both of these conversations happened this morning…. Baby Bot: Momma, I watch tv now? Me: Not now, honey. Baby Bot: But, Momma, I love the t.v. Me: I know honey, but too much t.v will turn your brain into mush. Baby Bot: Momma, I want…
