Yesterday, I was driving The Littles to the Children’s Museum, when I received a business-related phone call. Of course, THIS is the optimal time for the 2.5-year-old to decide he NEEDS my undivided attention. “Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom! Mom. Mom. MOM! MOM! MOMMY! MomMomMom! Mom.” When I was finally able to hang up, I attempted […]
Things My Kids Say
This morning, as I grabbed the lunch bag to pack for the 6.5-year-old’s lunch. Inside was the small container of four carrots… carrots still inside. I firmly reminded my son that, if I pack carrots, the carrots need to be eaten at lunch. “But mom, I didn’t have time!” “Okay,” I said, “Then please eat […]
Things my kids say
Overheard by the 2.75-year-old, last night at dinner: B2: “Hey Mom! This smoothie is real good! What’s in it?” KT: “I’m so glad! It’s orange juice, banana and strawberry!” B2: “strawberry? I don’t like strawberry! I don’t like this smoothie!”

Wait, What?
Hey Howdy Hey, Blogosphere! it’s been awhile… it’s not you, it’s me…. I promise all sorts of fun here (i mean, look at the title, for starters) and then The Beckers continue to have all the fun and don’t post a single thing here. that’s just not fair, dear reader. and for that, I am […]
Boden-ism
Boden walked up to me yesterday morning and said, “Mommy, Daddy farted me…” As I summoned up all the seriousness I could muster, I asked, “sweetie, what does ‘farted’ mean?” He explained, “it means when you are not nice and don’t listen.” Duly noted, Sweet Boden. Sadly, I think there are quite a few humans […]
