Elves and a snacking stupor…
My son gets angry every time I buy Cheez-its, because I eat the whole box myself. (Gross, I know.) Maybe they have MSG in them? (Grosser.) They’re VERY addictive. I have recently discovered a new...

Poke-what???
So, buckling under the crushing weight of peer pressure, my son is now interested in Pokémon. No joke. Shouldn’t that be passé by now???? Clearly not. At the school book fair, he purchased this:...

Me WOOOT
The school year is wrapping up, and I’m in panic mode thinking about what I’m going to do with my son before his camp begins. I know that letting him eat candy all day whilst watching cartoons is NOT...

Sari to bore you…
As my son was both out of school and not yet in camp, I was inundated with “mommy-time” recently and could not write a post until now. Camp is a fantastic thing. We’re lucky that we can send my son...

Manbaby nightmares and Etsy

No love for the post office
I know. It’s a stressful time of year. I get it. But why is it that the post office closest to me has staff that are the LEAST helpful? Actually, surly might be a better word. I was bringing a...

I Cy (sigh)
Yay! Spring is here! Get out the lightweight mittens! Get out the waterproof, yet non-bulky, knee-high boots! Get out the gauzy, cotton scarves! Just kidding… It’s in the mid 20’s and I’m bundled...
