Hello June. I don’t even want to think about how many days there are until Christmas, but in case you do, there are approximately 206 days. Better get busy. It looks like we’re finally sl...
I’ve been a slacker in the picture taking department. Blame it on the weather – sweltering hot and humid is not inviting for all the outdoor pictures I’ve been jonesin’ to tak...
Three-day weekends always throw me for a loop, because I keep forgetting what day it actually is. Today happens to be the last Tuesday of May – can’t believe this year is already closing ...
I like Monday’s like today where it doesn’t feel like a Monday. Well, for those of us who get to have an extra day with it being Memorial Day and all. I like long weekends where thereR...
Hard to believe that it’s already the last Friday of May. Summer is right around the corner – usually Memorial Day weekend seems to be the kickoff to that, even though the official first ...
Princess Nagger’s art teacher tasked the class with creating their own unique ‘mixed up’ animal. This is what Princess Nagger created: Name (of species): Creaplet (changed later ...
Is it already the next-to-the-last Tuesday of May? I really need to learn the art of not blinking, because with each blink, time passes by way too fast. This is also the second-to-the-last Tuesday of...
Another weekend that went by too fast, another Monday here again. This happens to be the last Monday of Princess Nagger’s school year – how did that happen? That’s right, I blinked....

You know how much Princess Nagger loves her Angry Birds. And how she has a couple of those giant sized ones she’s always playing with. She was having some fun with her big yellow bird: As she w...

I’ve mentioned that we are a cereal family. Since we all enjoy our cereal, I’m always trying to find the best value for the price. Which is one of the reasons I split my semi-monthly groc...
Any of you pet owners will understand that your pets are an extension of your family. You know, the 4-legged kids. You love them unconditionally because they love you unconditionally. Except when it&...
We are a cereal family. Whether for lunch or as a snack – or even as dinner sometimes – we all love to eat cereal. The kids have their favorites, of course – sometimes they prefer i...
Can you believe that Sunday is already Mother’s Day? Seems ever since becoming a mother myself the years fly by way too fast. The hubby said it’s probably because now we have a reminder o...
Last week I mentioned Princess Nagger was working on some sort of report for her Gifted Class on Cockatiels and made one out of clay. As a reminder, here’s what it looked like before she did th...
Princess Nagger really has the Hunger Games bug. First, she wants to have a Hunger Games themed birthday party this year, complete with some sort of bow-and-arrow event in the backyard. She’s a...
Where is the time going? Princess Nagger is off school today, so naturally I set up her annual physical just to annoy her. At least she isn’t due for shots for another couple of years, so she...

Princess Nagger’s penchant for creating things with clay has been running rampant as of late – a couple of weeks ago I shared a Hunger Games creation she did. Now she’s working on s...
Happy May Day… Or whatever salutation is appropriate for this first day of May. When we were kids, we used to make paper cone vases out of construction paper and fill them with flowers (from my...
Hard to believe it’s already the last Monday of April, the last day of April. Since we didn’t end up with any Snow Days this past winter, Princess Nagger only has 4-1/2 weeks of school le...
