The crowds were thick, but this was quite a wonderful exhibit of Kahlo’s work and life. If you have never seen her work before, don’t miss it. If you are a fan, get there right away. If you are open about art and experiencing art, take your kids.
I tried to determine if it was appropriate [...]
K1 Son at sleep away camp, Day 9. No letter home…yet:
Dear K1 Son,
Are you o-k? Are you having fun? Did a mountain lion carry you off? Were you eaten by bears? I do think you actually did get on the right bus, because I saw you in a picture from camp that your counselor’s sent [...]
*Cool as a cucumber
*Vegetarian
*Calm
*Shy
*Soft Spoken
*Hot as a firecracker temper
*Outgoing
*Talk to anyone about anything for hours
*Meat Eater
These are qualities of my parents in no particular order. Some qualities they share, such as the willingness to help anyone who needs them, strong sense of justice, generous, kind, thoughtful, but the list above represents their complete polar opposite [...]
I don’t usually take my little sidekicks to the grocery store. The normal routine is to eject them from the car at the school drop off, beeline it early to Trader Joe’s(before the crazy people get out of bed and get there) and then stroll blissfully up and down the aisles with no particular agenda [...]
Just read a really funny post over at Not Afraid to Use It. Her post about volunteering made me think about Blondeshell’s post Warning. We never learn, do we? At least I don’t.
Maybe instead of SHOP BLOCKING me my friends could just walk around school and hold my arm down or slap me whenever [...]
There are some things, I’m sorry to say, that really sadden me. One is when I tell my kids in the morning that they need to comb their hair because they have an Alfalfa Sprout and they give me the blank stare. After constant examples, they understand what I mean, but they have no point [...]
I’d better give a little personal background info here: My husband’s family is a MARATHON family. They have to exercise or they go crazy. On Christmas day they strategize how to make non-fat gravy and then it’s off to the gym for their workout.
My family is the EATING family. On Christmas day we strategize [...]
What happens when 2 five year old best friends decide to plant their hair in the garden?
Remember, it’s Mermaid talking here. If my kid shaved her head with hedge trimmers, I’d laugh about it and be glad that her head was still attached to her neck. Blondeshell, on the other hand, well….you’d have to [...]
Here’s a Mombshell Toast to Verizon Wireless. I was floored by Verizon’s customer service today. My daughter’s phone had a little, ahem, moisture problem. K2 (Kid Two) was in tears. My dad said, “Let’s take it back and ask them to give us a new phone.”
I eyed my daughter’s pink motorola razor and laughed at [...]
“I like Thursday, mommy, it’s like the sister of Friday.”
K2, Thursday morning on our way to school.
