Kids Logic….

For the most part Whirlwind and Baby Bot get along very well. They absolutely adore each other. I actually have to yell, ” Okay, you two, quit hugging and kissing! NOW!  That is enough. LET GO OF EACH OTHER. NO MORE KISSES! I mean it….

How to Manipulate….

It amazes me at how early women learn to manipulate men. Maybe that was a bit drastic. No, maybe not. Whirlwind is amazing at how she can manipulate her brother.  She is a pro.  She can get him to give her the toy he covets….

Santa Will…..?

Opening my stocking is my most favourite part about Christmas morning. Yes, I still have a stocking. For some reason its a tradition that Zed and I have continued to do, even since the kids have arrived. But, this year might be the year that…

If Your Daughter Could Meet You…

This summer while visiting my parents, Whirlwind found a photo of me on my parents dresser. “Do you know who this is?” I asked. “Yes.” She answered and then paused,  ” Is it you Mommy?” “Yup.” I said as I continued tidying up our bedroom disaster….

Today during lunch, Baby Bot was drinking his juice with a straw. After a big annoying slurp he looked at me and announced accusingly, “It is all gone. It is your fault.” What the what? Pardon me, kid. Are you taking lessons from your sister?

Back To School For Under $100….

Today was the day for Walmart Frugal Heroes Back To School Shop.  The basic idea is that annoying people  bloggers are asked to take on a challenge at Walmart and keep it under $100.  I guess I was soooo amazing at it last time that…
