In the still of the night

The other night my dear dash-1 would not go to bed. Bedtime is sacred in our house, I think it has to be in a house where mom is usually flying solo.  Usually the little ones know that they will not win a battle of wills after 7:15 pm and really, there is no point [...]

Check these finds out!

My three year old is a space freak.  He lives and breathes anything and everything space related.  (He’s also very into airplanes but right now space has a definite cool factor too it.)  My sister is an elementary school teacher and for Christmas she got him a fantastic DVD all about the space shuttle.  How [...]

My men I love them so…

I am a terribly lucky girl. I have been blessed to have two wonderful men in my life. They say that the most important role model for a girl is her father, whoever they are couldn’t be more right. My father is an amazing man. He is the epitome of what a family man is. [...]

its been a long few weeks

Carrier

Did anyone else catch Carrier on their local PBS last night? I loved it. Now while I might be a tad biased towards military programing it really was an interesting documentary. It’s running from the 27th till May 1st and explores, in quite some detail I think, life aboard the USS Nimitz, a “super carrier”. [...]

My little one’s first

Before I had kids I heard people talk about experiencing life thru them all over again.  I have to say I was a bit cynical, really could grass ever be interesting?  Sure enough its one of the best parts of parenting.  Since the arrival of spring we’ve been outdoors for most of the day and [...]
