Let’s Hear it for the Boy

Share the lies: Today’s post is a little bit of a test. Don’t freak out, or get nervous. It’s a multiple choice test, and there is only one question. Here is the context: My mom generously took the kids all weekend, and let Nick and I have a little bit of grown-up time. I missed [...]

Looking Out for the Anvil

Share the lies: I expected yesterday to suck, after all, all of the signs pointed in that direction.

The Smack

Share the lies: I am sure that it’s no surprise to anyone, that being Tilly’s mommy can be *ahem*  a tad challenging.

The Mystery of the Vanishing Underpants.

Share the lies: How? How? How? Can someone please tell me how kids lose crap without moving? This makes absolutely no sense to me. Here’s the scene: It’s Thursday night and I am sitting on Tilly’s floor helping her put on her jammie’s. Me: Charlie, could you put on your jammie’s please? They are right [...]

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

Share the lies: This isn’t really ‘a day in the life,’ it’s more like ‘a few days in the life’ of an iPhone when in the hands of a four year old. Maybe I should call this ‘Oh the places you’ll go, that a four year old can reach.’ You might be surprised where it [...]
