Lessons in Motherhood

Does anyone remember that episode of Seinfeld where they go to a bakery to pick up dessert for a dinner party. They want chocolate babka, but the woman cuts in front of them and gets the last one?

Luke’s Kinect shopping experience (along with his most famous model wife) was featured on the Fast Company website. Check it out here.

It’s the first day at the new school tomorrow. I need some Valium. Seriously, how am I going to sleep tonight? I’m so worried that Fifi is going to freak out. I know I shouldn’t worry about things until they happen, but OMG it’s going to be a bad morning. [...]

Oh boy.  I pulled the trigger today.   I got the girls into a school closer to our house.  It’s not the most ideal situation because there is not space for Sophia in the room that she is supposed to be in, but there is space for her in the class above.  Since it’s summer, [...]

I feel like this is a public service announcement…”The More You Know.” Can you read that without singing it like on the old PSAs?
Did you ever wonder what is inside diapers that makes them absorb the nasty stuff coming out of Sophia’s bottom? Well, now I know that it’s a million [...]

Ok. I have not had a blog rant for 4 days while we caught up on all the vacation stuff, and we’re still not caught up. But, I’m bored with that now, and I need to rant. So, we’re going to take a break from vacation to get back to reality.
