We had baked potatoes for lunch. I was teaching the kids the art of cooking a potato in the microwave. I’m all about teaching independence. At one point soon, I’m not going to do much. One day, I’ll have children to cook and clean for me. That’s why I had so many. I’ll sit around [...]

Magnet wall

One of my favorite things in our house is our magnetic wall.
No, our house doesn’t have super powers. If it did, I’d wish for something cooler than a half magnetic wall. Maybe a house that leaks money rather than sucking it from us. Or a house that had a roof that never needed replacing, unlike [...]

Homeschooling at our house is serious business. We start the learning early here at BDB Academy and everyone must participate.
Wow! Who knew that National Geographic Kids would be such a hit with the toddler crowd?
Gee Mom, I’m trying to read here. It would probably be easier if you cut my bangs and stopped pestering me [...]
One of us expanding our knowledge…

Dave’s been staying up late working and doing homework. While he expands his knowledge and consumes massive amounts of caffeine, I’m getting every penny out of our netflix subscription.
I guess I could be watching documentaries and increasing my own knowledge. Or I could be working my way through the long list of books I’d like [...]
Two worst fears

Friday night we watched Time Machine. I’d like to say that every Friday night is movie night. I’d like to say we pop popcorn and watch a wholesome family movie together, all the while bonding and loving each other. More often than not, Friday roles around and I’m exhausted. I’ll opt for sending the [...]
Made with love

Marshall: Wow! this is really good dinner! (fries smothered with cheese, chili, and hot dogs. Culinary bliss. Or maybe that’s coronary bliss)
Me: Thanks.
Marshall: Why are these so good?
Me: Ummm, I made it it with love.
Marshall: What do you normally put in it?
Yes Sir!

This summer we went to an airshow and there was a ton of teenagers dressed up in army clothes. They were enforcing foot traffic and keeping people away from planes and runways. They were marching around with their camelbaks, basically looking super cool.
these are not real airman, they’re 12-21 year old kids.
We stumbled up [...]
Shameless plug

I love wine. Only wine without the “h” though. Because I detest whine. Those pesky homophones. More often than not, both wine and whine go hand in hand. The kids whine so much that I sometimes find myself thinking about wine in the morning.
When I was pregnant with the twins, I bought Dave a Wine [...]
Teaching my daughter about oral sex

McKayla: Mom I have a sore in my mouth. Do we have any medicine?
Me: Upstairs, in my bathroom.
McKayla: Can I use cold sore medicine inside my mouth?
Me: Coldsore medicine’s for outside your mouth, if you have a cold sore. Canker sore medicine is for inside, if you have a canker sore.
Her: Do we have any [...]
