Chop Socky Chooks – Volume One I actually watched this dvd and Iron Man (see below) by myself this week because my oldest daughter didn’t seem too interested.  She’s only three and is going through this phase of being scared of random things.  I think the characters fighting kind of scared her. I actually thought [...]

When I first saw this clip from The Family Guy, I laughed.  Hard.  Then I wanted to cry because it could not have captured my life more perfectly.  Zoe is Stewie and we go through this scene multiple times a day.  Just change the location — the living room, the dining room table, the car, [...]

It’s a dreary, rainy Saturday here so let’s brighten things up with some DVD winners! All winners were drawn using Random.org.  Winners, you should be receiving an email from me.  If you haven’t received the email, please send email me at stacey (at) staceysays (dot) me with your shipping information.  You have 48 hours to [...]

I’ve written [here] before about how Abbi has begun to notice the difference between how mom and dad look.  I giggle about how she would say that daddy had a “tail”.  I’m even giggling right now.  But don’t worry folks, my day has come. A few weeks ago Abbi started pulling at the neckline of [...]

Elephants by Animal Planet I was surprised at how excited my daughter was to watch Elephants and how engaged she was while watching it!  She’s never really seen an elephant in person.  She hasn’t been to the circus yet and there haven’t been any elephants at the zoos we’ve visited.  So I wasn’t really sure [...]

Living in Michigan all my life I know that, once the snow starts falling, we’ll be forced inside and all of our outdoor-projects will come to an end.  Whether they are finished or not. Unfortunately the hubby has had to work a lot of long hours, extra evenings, and even some weekends lately so our [...]

I always thought it would be fun to be locked in a big department store over night. To have the run of the place while no one else was there, playing with all the toys, jumping on the demo beds! FUN! Then I saw Night at the Museum and realized I was dreaming too small! [...]

A week ago I wrote about Abbi’s transition into preschool and how, day by day, there were fewer and fewer tears when I dropped her off each morning.  Well, today there were no tears!  None! She was so proud of herself.  This morning she gave a kiss goodbye at the classroom door and said, “See [...]

If you’ve been following me on this blog, Twitter, or Facebook, you’re probably sick of me talking about skydiving.  If that is the case, then you won’t want to read this post!  Because, Ladies and Gentlemen, I did it!  I finally jumped from a plane.  And I’m too pumped not to tell you all about [...]

It’s been about 3 months in the making but tomorrow looks like it could actually be the day.  Barring any unforeseen weather issues (which could happen since this is Michigan) or plane malfunctions, I will be jumping from a plane tomorrow afternoon!!! I’ve wanted to go skydiving for quite some time now and thought it [...]
