We gave Max an old iPhone to play games on. He loves it and so do I:) However, he somehow figured out how to download games from the App Store. Here are just a few of the $25 worth of games he downloaded: The Moron Test, Cartoon Wars, Call of Duty, Frogger, Zombieville and iBeer. [...]

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit of a furniture snob. So much so, that I haven’t even bought a formal dining table because, at this point, the one that I want is somewhere in the double digits, and, therefore, currently out of my grasp. That’s how much of a snob I am; I [...]

I think I was harder on Max than I am on Kate. He was so obviously strong-willed and defiant, that I had to be on my game. We had a clear set of rules and a warning system in place by the time he was 22 months. First I would give him a warning and [...]

Yesterday, he was particularly “excited” to be there-demonstrated by the bouncing, chattering skipping and fondling of various items. You know, typical [...]

We’re leaving this Thursday for 8 days of fun in the sun! It will be Max’s second or third trip to the beach and Kate’s first. Seeing as how she doesn’t like to be hot, cold, wet, dirty or generally inconvenienced in any way…this should be interesting. It’s a birthday celebration for my FIL…I won’t [...]

Shocking, I know. However, the reality is that whether you have one child or ten children, we never really become the expert parents that we so desire to be. As a matter of fact, as soon as you start to actually say to yourself, “Oh, I know JUST what to do here. No problem, seen [...]

I’m going to do something on this blog that I rarely ever do(mostly because I never really have to). I’m going to take it back and say I was….wait for it….wrong. Yes, I’m taking back every praise I ever uttered about that damn Wii. In a previous post, I suggested that it was a good [...]

On discussing where we should eat that day and what toy he would receive: I wanna go to Kings Burger and get the pink glasses! Upon the realization that no other kids were at the Burger King playcenter: Where are my best friends? I NEED my best friend! On going number two in the potty [...]
