The rain didn’t stop us from playing outside this afternoon.
Bito and Cupcake were allowed to stomp in the puddles.
They loved twirling their umbrellas.
And then a big furniture delivery truck parked on our street.
It was a good day.

It’s a topic day for DCMM and all our sister sites. The topic? Children of the Recession.
This all started by the series on CBS, Children and the Recession.
Katie Couric wrote blog post for NYC Moms Blog, and had a conference call with a bunch of the SV [...]

I’m not a big original series Star Trek fan, but I know the familiar lines like:
It is logical…
Fascinating.
I’ve given it all she’s got, Captain!
I’m a doctor, not a ______ !
It’s worst than that…he’s dead, Jim.
Energize!
However, I don’t know the floor map for the USS Enterprise. I don’t know all the nuances of the characters’ relationships. Sometimes [...]

Sometimes I wonder if all mommies know about certain tricks and I’m just the clueless one.
Like the Saturday Box. My friend told me about it a long time ago, and I mentally filed it away as something that I might use when my kids get a bit older.
Well. They are bit older now and shockingly, [...]

My kids love Super Why! I just heard Bito saying, “Welcome to Story Book Village!” as he opened our front door! Cupcake marvels that the characters are allowed to stand on bookshelves. BabyMuffin loves the bright colors, sounds, and songs.
I love Super Why! too. Really, what’s not to love? It’s a great show with four cool [...]

Today is The Day After Mother’s Day.
The toy box has thrown up its contents all over the living room floor.
The kitchen sink is heaped high with dirty dishes.
Did the cereal bowls multiply while we were out running errands?
Three baskets of clean laundry sit patiently waiting to be folded.
Three other baskets of clothes sit patiently [...]

I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t blog on Mother’s Day. After all, half my bloggy name has to do with mothering!
I must confess: I had zero expectations for the day. So everything the kids and The Husband did was gravy. And they really laid it on. Cards, flowers, pictures, a family stroll through [...]

I was alerted to a story of a local baby. Noah was born November 29, 2008. Last month, he was shaken by his daycare provider. He is now in the Pediatric ICU at INOVA Fairfax Hospital, in a medically-induced coma. An MRI has determined extensive brain damage has been done. Also, Noah’s sight maybe affected as [...]

Okay, confession: I have never watched a single episode of Top Chef.
Another confession: Before last night, I had no idea who Spike is.
This didn’t stop me from going to Spike’s new restaurant, Good Stuff Eatery last night…and I’m so glad I went! I was with a bunch of the gals from DC Metro Moms and we [...]

Shoving dry spaghetti into hot dogs pieces and then boiling the whole thing results in this:
Um, no thanks. I’ll pass.
But I am curious as to whether or not my kids would eat them. Would your kids?
Do I dare try making it to see if they’d actually consume these?
Found on various pages on LiveJournal and on [...]
