You Can Learn A Lot If You Listen

October 17, 2013 by Mindy Leave a Comment

Recently, while reacquainting myself with my little bloggy-blog I came across this post that for some reason only known to God and the Universe, I never published.  Rather than dump it off as a missed opportunity to share I decided to include it as today’s blog post, the information still quite relevant.  I threw this […]

I mean, really… Who said she could grow up?!?

February 27, 2013 by Mindy 2 Comments

I’m a mother of a 10 year-old girl. Do you know what that means? I can justimagine all the mothers of girls out there raisingcollective sighs to the Universe right now. Ya get me? She’s a good girl. A really good girl, in fact. But I am starting to get glimpses into what will most […]

Freezing my Petals Off!

February 21, 2013 by Mindy 1 Comment

I remember growing up as a teeny little Mindy looking soforward to winter.Our cozy home hada lovely wood-burning stove, plenty of hot chocolate and layers of snow clothes stacked up and ready for layering.

Since accepting the position as the Head-Lady-In-Charge around these parts I have been forced to realize some truths: 1) Stay-at-home mom = easy access to food pantry and Cheez Its… All. Day.

Willful Toddler or Medical Mystery?

September 4, 2009 by Mindy 5 Comments

I’m pretty sure my soon-to-be 3 year old is missing his eardrums. That has to be it. That is the only plausible reason for why he seems to be unable to hear me. Day in and day out he asks me a question, I answer, he asks me again, I answer, he asks me again, […]

I love moments like these…

August 21, 2009 by Mindy 2 Comments

I am absolutely not kidding when I say that I am sitting here on my couch, looking out my picture window into the backyard and watching my almost 3 year old son, Jack, trying desperately to pull his pants off and pee into his wading pool. Man, I wish I had that kind of determination. […]

Punishing your kid…with your other kid.

August 11, 2009 by Mindy 2 Comments

Okay, I need to ask a question.Do you have kids?Do they, at times, annoy the hell out of you? Do you, at times, need ways tokeep them busy so you can actually get something done with your day? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of the aforementioned questions then ponder this next question for me […]
