I've always been afraid of it. I don't really know why. Frequently maligned and mocked things can come across as scary. It was with great trepidation I even gathered the courage to... put it in my grocery cart. But I did it.

Preschooler Stream of Conciousness
In our daily routine, my daughter and I play family. A lot. Everyday. Pretty much it's the only thing she wants to play. If I have other things to do, it becomes 'Doing-The-Dishes-Family' or 'Laundry-Folding-Family'. It's fun for her as she loves to role-play, specifically when she gets to be in charge. Go figure.

Spiking My Coffee
There are days. And then there are those kind of days. Slightly drowsy from last night's cold medicine, I was suddenly jolted awake as the warm pee seeped onto my side of the bed. "Gonna be a good day!" I thought to myself. "Cause it can only get better from here!" Ever the Positive Polly, I loaded … Continue reading Spiking My Coffee
