Mom, can we give PRETTY GIRL a ride to the movies tomorrow?”“Sure,” I responded absently, typing away on my computer.I knew my son Josh had arranged for a group of friends to go see Toy Story 3 the next day and I often cart his friends around for their various social engagements, so I didn’t give his request another thought.Until I was blow-drying my hair the next morning, that is. You know how it goes. You’re just standing there, drying your hair while you mentally go through your checklist…See More

We celebrate the first time our baby lifts his head.
The first time she rolls over.
The first word, first tooth, first step.
Then as they grow older, it's…
His first boy-girl party.
Her first dance.
First date, first zit (devastating!), first time behind the wheel of a car.
The other day, I was cleaning out my planner pockets and… Continue

I've started going through pictures of my daughter from infancy up till now. Eighteen years worth. I’m doing this in preparation for the graduation party video I was going to create (now she is), and for the surprise scrapbook I'm making for her to take to college with her. (No longer a surprise because I accidentally mentioned it and now she keeps removing any pictures where she thinks she looks the least bit funny. Like this one: …

Banning the Dictionary
Posted on March 17, 2010 at 6:13am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I read a story a few weeks back about a school district in California pulling all copies of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary from its libraries because a parent complained the dictionary was being used to look up "age inappropriate" words by students. When I read this story I literally laughed out loud.
Banning the dictionary? Really?
Let me start by saying, I'm all for keeping things age appropriate. When our kids were younger, we were some of those weird parents…

Driving Lessons

It sounded like a good idea at the time.
I had read an article about these super-cool magnetic bumper stickers, CAUTION NEW DRIVER, and thought to myself. What a brilliant idea! Whenever I'm having my newly permitted child practice driving skills, I'll just slap it onto the back of the ol' van. Then all the other kindly drivers will be instantaneously aware and think to themselves, "Oh, look. How sweet, a new driver. I'll give him a nice, wide berth so he has plenty of room as he…

Cynthia ~ The Girlz Korner said… - Hi there from The Girlz Korner in upstate New York where you'll find light, witty and rather entertaining articles on every topic imaginable from The Little Black Dress to Making Whoopie. So if you get a chance to kick back and exhale, if only for a brief moment ... come on over and see me some time.

Peryl Manning said… - Loved the blog - thanks for friending me :). I have a question for you - I'm just starting to send out some article queries, but I noticed you said you always send in full essays - do you find that's a better approach? What type of magazines do you submit to? Thanks!! I'm moving from technical writing to freelance, and just learning the ins and outs - all tips are appreciated!

- You've pegged it exactly, Kevin Ann! Every new phase they enter is so cool to witness, but memories of the old phases give rise to such bittersweet feelings.

Kevin Ann Planchet said… - My oldest daughter is at least willing to take the six year old trick or treating. The sixteen year old wants nothing to do with the holiday at all. You're happy to see them growing up on one hand, but on the other, each break with a milestone is hard to take.

Julie said… - Thanks for the comment. I got the back ground for my blog on 'The Cutest Blog on The Block.com' and it works with the regular blogspot templates. Easy to do! I've been kind a trial by error with all this blog stuff. Always looking for neat things for it.
Take care! ;0)
