Ok, so on Saturday I had the opportunity to be a judge at the Inland Northwest Qualifier (3 States were represented) for the National Christian Forensics & Communications Association (NCFCA).  Since both of my…

The morning was hectic; we were running late. We had finally pulled into the parking lot of the elementary school when I looked down at my son's feet, clad in clunky snow boots.

"Your shoes are in your backpack, right?" I said.

"Ummmm," he answered. I sighed. He had forgotten them. Again. The shoes I had put right by the front door were probably still right there. Why couldn't he remember?!

"Sean!" I said sharply. "C'mon! You need to work on…

It's so hard to believe that this month celebrates THREE awesome years of writing my little Nucking Futs Mama blog.  This right here is my 642nd published post, y'all!  Holy crap, that's a lot of rambling, isn't it??!

And since there's no red carpet roll-out or awards show ceremony to commemorate this monumental occasion (*snark*),…

I get my drugs where I shop. It's easy to drop off the prescription, get my groceries, and go. Everyone at our grocery store knows Z, so they usually expedite my order making it a fast and easy process.



It's fabulous.



A few days over a month ago, I told you about how I am all old and infertile. The doctor gave me a handy-dandy prescription to get things…

We've all had a conversation with THAT mom at one time or another.  The one who can't talk to you like a normal human being because she's so busy telling you how talented and smart and perfect her child is and "don't you think he's amazing?"

Coupons, Sweets and More on 24/7 MOMS Live

Do you love to save money?  eat sweets? …

As you all know we are trying to live fast food free and it is doing wonders for our energy level as well as our waistlines and our bank accounts! For years I've had a cookbook sitting on my counter looking all pretty and decorative because, really, who needs cookbooks these days anyways? I mean all the convenient food options we have why do we need to cook from scratch? Before we started this journey I had cooked very few things from scratch and when I did I measured everything so…

Oh bottle, how I loathe you! You stole my baby from our snugly nursing cuddles with your oh, so easy flow...

 

OK, I'm…

Bedtime can be a challenging event for some toddlers.  Quite honestly, it can be the moment a parent dreads as evening draws near.  For some, it's only a matter of time before the ultimate meltdown ensues...  



Speaking personally, this isn't the case for me.  I'm going to be completely honest.  My son has fabulous…

Connor is over a year now and quickly soaking the world up like a sponge so I've been on high gear to put an effort into harboring a simple environment for him in terms of toys, expectations, activities, etc.  So here are my thoughts I wanted to share with you in hopes you'll share more ideas with me and our other readers!  …

Today, just like every day Connor reached up toward our wall of frames and pointed to the picture of my husband as a little boy on the beach with his father.  We pick him up so he can see it and say “There’s Daddy when he was your age with Grandpa.”…

A  little boy got hurt at my daughter's hockey game on Saturday. It wasn't serious, but it did cause a stoppage of play during the game. My daughter's coaches have taught her team that when someone is hurt on the ice, they need to "take a knee." They all drop to one knee and wait for the coaches and referees to tend to the injured child.

Taking a knee has two purposes. It gets the kids out of the way of the adults who are trying to help the injured child, and it keeps the kids from…

I took on a volunteer position with one of my kids' schools this year and have been doing a pretty good job (if I say so myself).

Then I got sick. That was three weeks ago and I'm just now working on getting rid of my second (or is this one my third?) sickness. I hesitate to say "cold" too loudly because if it hears me, it might come running and lick me on the mouth. Again.
