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 [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday started with the boys being rabbits but by afternoon Ben was a kitty cat and asked for a bowl of milk (and then once he got it he asked for some rice krispies too). I did give him a spoon in case he wanted it but whats the fun in that! He was a [...]

Recently Star Wars has become a part of their lives in a big way but they still find the time to play dress up with their little sister. I couldn’t resist putting up this picture of [...]

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 his pictures [...]
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 [...]
