So I’m Leaving My Husband…
...For six whole days. The last time we were apart that long, we were seniors in HIGH SCHOOL. We're going by train to Missouri to see Gammy and Pop Pop on the 22nd and coming back on the 27th. We decided that September to December was too long for the children to go...
HERE’S your Meet-and-Greet
When Josh asked me where my paints were, I became a bit curious. Within minutes, I walked into the kitchen to find this: Turns out The Daddy had felt the drive to decorate a certain gourd we had picked up from the pumpkin patch a week ago. Having run out of gourds,...
Where’s My Meet-and-Greet?!
Better question: Where's my new laptop?! Answer: Sent back to HP. And without it, I don't do much on the computer. Our only computer left during the day is in the back bedroom and as slow as molasses in January - to quote my Grandmother out of context. Uploading...
“We Go On Twain ‘Morrow, Mommy?”
After hearing this question asked multiple times on the same day, a day which was still over three weeks away from the oh-so-exciting train ride, I created the Train Chain. You may remember the Train Chain from your childhood, although you would have most likely...

Fire-Eater
(As I try to think of a caption for this, a whole host of pregnancy-heartburn-related quips come to mind. But I'm sure they're nothing you couldn't already come up with on your own, so I'll spare you.) (One more parenthetical interruption (you'd think there'd have to...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
Hello, and welcome to that glorious day of the week when I get to shamelessly show off how beautiful my children are. My name is Beth, and I'll be your host this morning. Or whatever time of day it happens to be when you read this. I guess I can't be very...
A New Option for Swiss Work-At-Home-Mommies
They can now be employed as dairy cows. You know, so the dairy cows can have a break. At least one Swiss restaurant has developed a new, innovative idea of using breastmilk in their soups, stews, and sauces. They buy the milk from donors. I wonder what the going...
Potty Training: Something Clicked
I haven't written about potty-training in awhile. Because whenever I write or talk about something my child has done that really excites me, they never do it again. At one time, I was able to put an infant Benjamin down in his crib, still mildly awake. When he...
