If all else fails, at least he can balance a die on his nose.

Parenting 101
Melissa | May 26, 2010
Wouldn’t it be cool if in between Parallegal Studies and Philosophy in your local college catalogue, you could find Parenting? Why is it that we feel the need to educate on everything from Academic Literacy to Elder Care to Women’s Studies but we ignore the skill that is shaping the future of America the World?

Gearing up for summer
Melissa | May 25, 2010
There’s a part of me who knows that a little quite a bit of effort on the front end means a much smoother summer and less frustration all around. Having a loose structure and some activities all ready for when the “B” word breaks out keeps me liking my kids and them liking me. That same [...]
Not Me! Monday
Melissa | May 24, 2010
Not-Me-Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama. Hop over to her blog to see what others have NOT done this week.
It was NOT me who used Bubble Mint gum as a substitute for brushing my teeth this morning since the bathroom was otherwise occupied when I was running out the door this morning.
It [...]
Girls’ Day
Melissa | May 22, 2010
Sometimes when you live with two brothers, a Daddy, an Uncle, and a Pops, you just need
a Girls’ Day (with Mommy, Nana, and Auntie).
What better way
to start a Girls’ Day
than with a girly lunch of edamame and sushi?

These girly girls [...]

So what have we been doing?
a field trip to the zoo with Uncle

Bragging
Melissa | May 19, 2010
We’re always telling our kids not to boast or brag, but at the risk of sounding boastful I have to tell you how proud I am of PJ. He earned $5 for helping Patrick plant upwards of 40 seedlings on Saturday. (sidenote: The $5 was actually a surprise for him. He was just planting out [...]
Adoption is reactive

********UPDATE********
After much discussion on various boards about this post, I chose to change the title (as it was very distracting) and add these words….
For those that claim some parents do not want to parent, I see that as a failure somewhere a long the line. It’s not acceptable to me that people think it’s ok [...]
Not Me! Monday
Melissa | May 17, 2010
Not-Me-Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama. Hop over to her blog to see what others have NOT done this week.
I did NOT use flip flops and fruit snacks as my “easy buttons” this week. I am way too health conscious to use fruit snacks to occupy my youngest while I work.
I do [...]
