If You Don’t Stand For Something, You Will Fall For Anything!

Did you see this? This mother, Lisa Snyder, graciously volunteered to watch several other mother’s children, for about an hour, in the mornings before they go to school.  The other mothers are working moms who have to be at work by a certain time and do not want to leave their kids at home alone [...]

Modern Family!

This is one of my top picks for the fall show line-up! This was so hilarious last nite. Phil (the cool dad) and Mitchell (the gay son) are my favorites so far.  If you missed it, you have to Tivo it or put it on your “to do” tv show list.

Oh, No He Didn’t!

Okay, it finally happened to me! Thomas doodied in the bathtub………….AWWWWWWWWHHHHHHH!!!!! I knew he had been having a little trouble in the #2 area for about a day, but I NEVER thought he would do “that” in the tub. I did not know what to do or how to handle it.  Luckily, he is still [...]
