I am happy to report that we survived our 9 year old’s friend birthday party! We’re talking about 9 boys ages 7 to 9 plus our 11 year old (he was easy though) all thrown into one pizza parlor for a birthday party involving Pizza, Candles, Cake, Video Games and gifts!

M says “ready” in a really funny rolling way and has started saying “Wow!” sometimes accompanied by “what’s that?”. Mind you it is all a little…

Boys and Boards
Recently I have been writing a series of articles on Boys and the Media Influence. So I was really amused when the Disney Channel came out with Johnny Kapahala Back on Board (their sequel to Johnny Tsunami) this weekend. We liked the first one and we found it to be a fun, clean enjoyable family time so we all thought…

Through the Eyes of A Child
I’m sure most parents get interesting insights into the universe from their kiddos! I have had the privilege to hear these conundrums through the years and have actually had the fortitude to write a few down – something I highly recommend to any mom! Now that I have a blog, I have yet another outlet to remember these amusing, interesting,…
