A few weeks ago I was over at {GwenBell.com} and came across her “The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge”.  The gist of the Challenge is that Gwen has listed a number of prompts, thirty-one to be exact, to help people look back over this past year and celebrate the best or most memorable moments.  Each [...]

Honestly, I had never heard of BOZ, the Green Bear Next Door until I received a couple of dvds in the mail.  He’s not in our regular line-up of “mommy needs a break” tv.  And I wasn’t sure how my girls were going to take to a big green bear.  But, of course, they love [...]

I don’t work outside of my home (unless you count coffee shops from time to time).  And I don’t work full-time. I haven’t since I gave birth to Abbi four years ago.  My number one responsibility is to take care of my girls and then, when I have time, I do freelance writing, blogging, and [...]

We’ve all been there, whether we have kids or not.  We’ve been there before we had kids and, although we try to be more understanding, we’ve been been there after having kids.  We’ve all been the person passing judgement on the parenting styles and parenting decisions of others.  And many of us have been on [...]

It couldn’t have been more perfect!  This morning we woke up from our turkey comas to see snow on the ground!  Ok, to be honest, there was hardly any snow and it all melted before noon, but it was snow and Abbi was super excited.  It was the perfect way to kick off the Christmas [...]

I’m always looking for fun (and cheap) things to do with the girls.  And especially things we can do as a family!  So, imagine my delight when I saw that a magic show was going to be at our rapidly-becoming-vacant mall!  Magic show?  Great!  Live baby lions and tigers? SUPER!  Free?  We are so there!!! [...]

If you find yourself face to face with aliens and they are not cute and waddly like “E.T.” and they are threatening world domination or annihilation, then you might want to call Sigourney Weaver or Will Smith.  But if your catch the aliens in your attic, then you’ll want to call on the Pearson kids!
