I feel like I'm missing out on all of the good moments -- my son has been staying at my parents house...he's on "vacation." It's spring break and this is my parents way of helping us out while getting to spend time with the grandkids...thanks mom & dad!A re-hashing of the story told to me by my mother:Aidan was reading to my mom and she commented on how well he could read (A's in kindergarten). And, he really is a good reader if you really want to know my UNBIASED motherly opinion. :-) Anyways, they kept reading...After a while, my mother asked Aidan how to spell certain words. My mom's pretty funny sometimes...she said to Aidan, "Can you help Po Po spell? Po Po has a hard time spelling words sometimes because she's Chinese." (I mean, English ISN'T my mother's first language, but I … [Read more...]
Sissy’s where?!
My son had a pretty interesting conversation with my mother last week. Lately, he's been very curious about when he and his sister were babies and also when I was a baby...basically, he's infatuated with the fact that everyone around him (who is older than him) was his age at one point.The conversation was initiated by my son who asked my mother where he was when I was a little girl. To be more specific, he asked if he was in my tummy when I was a little girl. Not wanting to get into uncharted territory with a 5 year old, my mom simply replied, "No.""Well, was sissy in mommy's tummy?""No.""What about daddy's tummy? Was sissy in daddy's tummy then?"Again, my mother replied, "No."What was my son's response?"Well, I think daddy has a sissy in his tummy. He's got a big tummy, you … [Read more...]
HOW BIZARRE
Isn't it funny how certain images or scents can thrust your mind back to some memory that you either look back on with fondness or regret anguish? Songs do this, too...at least they do to me. I swear I'm not the only one out there who associates songs with certain feelings or memories, right?This morning on the way to work OMC's "How Bizarre" came on the radio. I haven't heard the song in a few years. As I was driving down the road I was quickly taken back to my very late teen years circa 1997 (I turned 20 in September of that year). That was a fun time...fun, but frustrating (now that I look back). But, I suppose the definition of fun all depends on who you ask. I could remember the people Adam and I were hanging out with, what we were doing, where we were hanging out...all of those … [Read more...]
MY FIRST PRODUCT REVIEW – Littlest Pet Shop Collectible Pets & Nerf Peyton Manning Vortex Mega Howler
So a few weeks back a request went out on Twitter asking if anyone was interested in doing a product review for some Easter basket gift ideas and I said, "SURE! I'm interested!" I got in touch with a woman named Catherine and the rest, as they say, is history -- here I am diving head first into the land of product reviews and this first review of mine was F-U-N!Because I have two children - one boy and one girl - who are a couple years apart, I was asked to review two products. Well, maybe it wasn't ME who did the actual review, but let's just say that fun was had by all and we really enjoyed this opportunity that was given to us...thank you, Catherine! We were asked to review two products from Hasbro - the Nerf Peyton Manning Vortex Mega Howler & the Littlest Pet Shop Collectible … [Read more...]
