Sayings that crack me up…
Maybe you’ll have some time this holiday season to catch a movie or curl up with an old TV favorite. Movies and shows that have memorable catch phrases rank high on my watch list.
It occurred to me the other day as I heard “Bazinga”(from The Big Bang Theory) in the other room, that there are some sayings from pop culture media that are just plain fun to say and always bring on a grin to my face.
I would like to share a few of my favorites with you and hope you grab a giggle, too!
How about… Continue reading

Recently Time magazine’s cover story declared it a “scientific fact” that parents always have a favorite child. I say, baloney! After reading the article, I told my kids that I dislike them both exactly the same.
All kidding aside, I have always found a way to individually find a reason to tell them that they are both “my favorite” — and I mean it.
Granted, there are those children who do on occasion make it difficult to “like” them all the time, but most parents would agree they do love their children “differently” but equally.
That being said, after talking with several parents who have more than two children, they openly admitted they have a favorite whether it’s because they are the cutest, the youngest, the smartest or the only boy or girl. I was shocked, but what would I know only having two kids and both who I think are pretty awesome. Continue reading

Ah, if we could live vicariously through our vacation memories, I think life might be a little less stressful… Yeah, mon, think reggae and sounds of waves crashing on a beach — some type of drink with an umbrella and, OK, it might almost work.
Even though I preach to my kids work hard but play harder, there wasn’t much time last year for play. So when we were able to get away on a family cruise that my mom and dad planned for the whole family, I had to jot down some notes to refer to when I want to “escape” at home — at least in my mind.
Random vacation thoughts … Continue reading

I was downstairs playing cars with my 3 ½-year-old while my 14-month-old slept upstairs when I got an 8:45 a.m. phone call from my husband, who told me to turn on the television.
Where were you? What did you do when you heard the news? How does it still affect you today?
As the plane took out the first tower, I clutched my boy in my lap and he asked, “Why are you crying Mommy?” The second plane hit and an announcement chimed in that a third plane had hit the Pentagon. An hour later a fourth plane had crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

As I enjoyed an evening of reminiscing at a recent family barbecue, it occurred to me how we all have those “special” uncles that create unique memories that always seem to surface after the kids grow up. These stories were not shared when they were small for a reason: because they are much funnier now.
Every family tends to have a favorite beer-drinking uncle. You know — the one who is always the life of the party. These uncles are always good for a new adventurous tale that ended in sordid drama or perhaps a story that may involve bathroom humor.
Doesn’t every family have an uncle who lives in a basement and you only see him every two to three years at a special occasion?
