As chaotic as well all are, there are some crazy things we just will NOT do. Included in this list: bungee jumping, base jumping and extreme ironing. (Yes, extreme ironing is an extreme sport, we looked it up) But here is something that there is no way, for any amount of money, to save all [...]
After a VERY rainy walk around the block today to stretch our legs, we happened to look up and see this: Totally taking this as a sign of good luck and the next time I waffle about taking the dawg out in bad weather, I’ll think twice because you just never know what kind of [...]
Told you that yesterday was a good day for cake. And no, it’s not written in mustard…
Big milestone today for the youngest baby in our family: I admit it, the minute I saw the odometer start to creep up to that magic number, I got a little worried. This vehicle has done us very well, and hopefully there will be many many more kilometers to come but come on – 100,000 [...]
“Whoa what just happened?!” This was the thought that suddenly came to mind as all of a sudden over 100 emails from Pinterest came flooding into my email inbox this morning. Hey, I knew I was popular on Pinterest, but I didn’t think I was THAT popular… As I scanned quickly through the emails I [...]
Today is not just any day, nor is it just any other Tuesday. Today is the day I am officially the mother of a teenager, and a teenage daughter to boot. She is our oldest child and when she was born, friends ours who already had kids cried out in unison, “NOW you’ll understand how [...]
The other day I came across the coolest birth announcement ever… it was the type of clever, creative thing that just made you think to yourself, “Why the hell didn’t I think of that?!” Too late now… but enjoy this, it’s super awesome.
I was curling last night, and I’m not talkin’ ’bout my hair…. Last fall our whole family got involved in a Canadian sport that until then, was just something we’d watched on TV and tried to follow along with. Mostly unsuccessfully. We started curling. I don’t remember exactly what propelled us into the sport – [...]
This time next week, I’ll be sitting at my desk in my home office and it will be quiet. There will be no sounds of Phineas and Ferb coming from the TV, no smells of another round of toast being made, no glimpses of the kids scurrying from the living room to the trampoline outside [...]
Sorry, these aren’t edible kind of noodle. These are some truly AWESOME pool noodles that we picked up for the kids. Aside from the fact that people can’t help smiling when they see them, having these unique pool toys makes it that much easier to spot your kid on those crowded days when the whole [...]
The other day we read an article in the local paper that was all about shopping for clothes for the kids – specifically, going back to school. What got me was that the photos shown had 2 kids pictured, each wearing a new “back to school” outfit for less than $100 each. Seriously? Seriously. In [...]
Teaching your kids the art (yes, I do believe it is an art) of self-discipline is undoubtedly, a daunting task at times. Kids don’t rationalize why they can’t just do something or have something, simply because they want to. Check out how Joachim de Posada talked about delayed gratification and self discipline on a recent [...]
Sometimes seeing old stuff is just awesome… Recently the Chaos family went to a local “Big Truck” event. Masses of truly large mega trucks gathered in a parking lot. Hot dogs, cotton candy, you get the idea. (Yes, suburbia at it’s finest summer day moment) Needless to say, the Chaos Kids had a fabulous time [...]
Hello world, it’s Phineas and Ferb Day! Let’s set the scene, shall we? First of all, for probably the first time ever, the kids of the house were up at the crack of dawn – FIVE O’CLOCK AM so that they could watch the Eastern Feed of Phineas & Ferb Day on the Disney channel. [...]
I know there’s nothing new about a celebrity divorce case. It’s always front-page news though, no matter who’s involved. And sometimes I find you just can’t HELP but read all about it – it’s like watching a train wreck. Such is the case with the now infamous Brinkley-Cook divorce trial that’s now going on. Any [...]
