Healthy lunches — and a giveaway from Libby’s

Paula — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:50:26 +0000

Do your kids eat school lunch, or do you pack their lunch? Although it’s much easier to just send them off to school at the mercy of the school lunch menu, I’m trying to be more prepared this school year for packing lunches to send with the two youngest boys. (Boy #1 would probably rather [...] Related posts:

The Labor-less Part of My Labor Day Weekend (Well, except for the part where I chase the dog…)

Paula — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:29:01 +0000

Happy day-after Labor Day! I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend, or if you didn’t, I hope that means you took that “labor” part seriously and got some stuff done! My weekend was both labor-filled and labor-less. To be honest, my weekend isn’t quite over yet. My boys don’t have school today due [...] Related posts:

I’ll Have a Scotch, Hold the Shards of Glass

Paula — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:35:31 +0000

Granted, it was a Monday. But despite that, I woke up with high hopes and a cliché-free attitude. That is, until it all came crashing down. Literally. Allow me to back up a bit and tell you that a few weeks ago my husband apparently decided that he was 87 years old because he came [...] Related posts:

My Beginner Puzzle Picks

Paula — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:36:04 +0000

As the mom of three boys, I’ve seen my share of toys cycle through our house. Some of them, unfortunately, have suffered pretty short life spans. Sometimes it’s because of the quality of the product. Other times it’s because my kids just aren’t that interested. Other toys, however, have stood the test of time. I’m [...] Related posts:

Let Them Eat Cake (Just not in my bed)

Paula — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:03:31 +0000

I’m not sure if this is a trait of boys in general, or if my boys have some genetic malfunction. It certainly couldn’t have anything to do with my parenting skills… But I’m beginning to notice a trend. Granted, it’s only taken me about five years to recognize the trend, but you know, I’ve never [...] Related posts:

A Whirlwind of a Week

Paula — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:29:33 +0000

Last week was a wee bit crazy in these here parts. I will blame my lack of posts on that. Sounds like a good excuse anyway… So first of all, we had Meet the Teacher last Monday. This is where you’re supposed to tote your wagonfull of school supplies to the classroom, find the locker [...] Related posts:

Help me out?

Paula — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:19:00 +0000

Dear peeps, Would you do me a favor? I need to start making some money on this whole blog gig, at least to pay for my hosting fees, so I need to come up with a media kit to seek out some advertisers . . . Here’s where YOU come in! In order to put [...] Related posts:

5 Easy Ways to Save Money

Paula — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 13:27:10 +0000

I’m all about saving money, but I’m also busy and somewhat disorganized (I know, shocker!). There are some bloggers who save some amazing cash, but some of the methods they use frankly sound like a full-time job to me, which is great if you have the time. Unfortunately, I don’t right now. So I wanted [...] Related posts:
