Last month, I participated in the 2010 Toy Fair Social Media Panel: Marketers + Mom Bloggers. I mentioned before that it was different because it was the first time that I spoke on a social media panel that was a mixture of toy company marketers and bloggers on [...]

It was so much fun to get away for a few days last week. Although I still believe that 2010 is going to be awesome overall, it has definitely been a bumpy start! That is why I especially enjoyed a little time away from everything and everyone except for “my guys” for a [...]
No Peace Without Storms

If reading about faith/prayer annoys you, you might want to skip this post…
I was talking with a friend on Friday. “I prayed for you to have peace,” she said, because she knew that I was having a hard time not worrying about Sean’s dental surgery on his birthday tomorrow. Although I know that [...]
Let The Giving Begin: Little Listeners
February 9, 2010 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
This past weekend was a fun blur. On Saturday, the family went to see When Elmo Grows Up at Madison Square Garden. My husband’s aunt treated our family along with my brother-in-law’s family as a special early birthday gift for Sean. The little kids especially enjoyed the show. Sean kept saying, [...]
My Home Needs an Exorcism

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
You know how little kids often have imaginary friends? Well, Sean has a ghost named Oswald. At first, it was really cute when he blamed everything on the “ghost” because he says the word ghost like it is a French word/very Pink Pantherish. It stopped [...]

Sometimes, I think that my sons are growing up too quickly. For instance, Sean and I recently had the following conversation:
Sean: Do you love me?
Me: Yes. Of course I love you.
Sean: Why do you love me?
Me: Because you’re my baby.
Sean: I’m not your baby. I’m your son!
(Whatever. He was, is and always [...]
Annual Read-Aloud Day
Today is annual “Read-Aloud Day” at Michael’s school. Since he has a stomach virus, he won’t be there. I’m torn…
Part of me wanted to go so that I could see him wear the poster he created and read a book in his class. I love that Michael enjoys reading. On the [...]
So I Had A Bad Couple Of Days

Last week was rough. I took Sean to a pediatric dentist to check on his front teeth that he had fractured when he was younger. (I had taken him to a dentist then, but the advice was to just let it be. Since they were “baby teeth”, they were going to fall [...]
So That My Husband Will Come Home…
January 12, 2010 by Kimberly · 12 Comments
I have had some form or the other of the following conversation with various people…
Me: I have to go. I need to clean the house because Reggie (my husband) is on the way home.
Them: Why?
Me: I like for the house to look orderly when he comes home.
Them: Why? That seems a little stereotypical 50s [...]

Can I just say that the last week and a half have flown by? It was a fun blur though. Below are a few of the holiday highlights in pictures:
I’ll be sharing more about our family “hopes” for 2010 later this week. Meanwhile, what was your favorite photo that you took from [...]
