Terrible Tuesday: Good intentions vs. warm bed
Last night, the Leonid meteor shower peaked. Despite being bone tired, I duly set my alarm for 1 a.m. But at 1 a.m., that part of my brain that would really like just five minutes of peace and a good night sleep for once, dangit, said, “Don’t you dare.” So I didn’t. There should be […]

Belonging
This is a post I’ve been writing off and on for quite some time. Every time I see a parent post a video of her doped up kid after a dental appointment or a Facebook post attempting to shame a kid into good behavior, I cringe. One of the primary responsibilities of a parent is […]

Does this little girl make housecalls?
I know I’ve posted this before, but seriously, this is a message my kids need to hear. With four kids in different grades, I like to combine lessons when I can to keep me sane-ish. Even when they aren’t combined, they are generally doing the same thing in a subject like math. For example, […]

Terrible Tuesday: I desire bread
My eldest daughter and I are doing yet another sugar detox. I want bread. I want a croissant. And some cereal. And a bagel. And a cookie. But noooooo, it’s all sugary and not on the list. Honestly, if my kid didn’t do this with me, I’d have fallen off the wagon on Day 2. […]

Too many priorities
I finally got around to getting Little Miss in for her well-child checkup, although at 14 she’s not really a child. It’s probably time to switch to a family doctor for her, but eh, we like her pediatrician, even if she is a bit skittish. Has anyone met a non-afraid pediatrician? I’m pretty sure she […]

Terrible Tuesday: Back in the car
School still doesn’t start till next week, but all the appointments are now back on the calendar. That means an extra six hours in the car a week, which means the return of audio books! This year is slightly different because the girls will not be trekking to the boys therapy appointments this year, so […]

Not bad advice
One of the landmines parents have to walk through is teaching their kids not to tattle, but to always tell if someone is hurting themselves or others or going to do something that will end really badly for them. While my experience is that all kids will tattle occasionally, some kids are just natural tattlers. […]

Raise a child in the way he should go
*This post has affiliated links I inspired a podcast, y’all! I did! My friend Jimmie Bise, former host of The Delivery and current co-host of Strange Worlds Travelogue, took my suggestion and did a show on sci-fi for kids. I hope I use my powers of persuasion for good. Not having kids of their own […]
