My Family Loves It

I have been a fan of Thomas since my little brothers were toddlers and my kids are lucky to have a lot of their hand me down Thomas trains. We already have six Thomas DVDs, and they are great, so I jumped at the Parent Bloggers Network’s offer to review Engines and Escapades. I have [...]

Grandma and Grandpa Duck sent some big Easter eggs filled with tattoos for the kids and the boys got a little tattoo crazy and wanted me to keep putting more on. We did their hands first and then Ethan wanted his upper arm and then we ended up filling up his arm and moving on [...]

The Discovery Channel and the Parent Bloggers Network are partnering in a blog blast on womens’ truths about motherhood. This is inspired by The Discovery Channel’s new docu-drama “Deliver Me” which follows three women - best friends, working mothers and physicians - as they balance delivering babies together in their OB/GYN practice with their lives [...]

Ultreo® is the first [...]

Ethan loves taking pictures with our point and shoot camera. He took some of the pictures from our egale spotting adventure And I’ve gotten in the habit of bringing the camera when we go to hockey games to give him something to do when the game gets a little boring. A lot of [...]

I’ll follow Piseco’s lead and post what we did early this week. For our Unplugged Project I decided to do something with Ethan that I’d done before but never with the kids: eggs dyed with onion skins. I have no foreseeable need for onions so when I was in the produce isle I took a [...]
