Oh my...

So I promised funny (read: gross, disgusting, hilarious, and frightful)...I hope I give you funny. Mama Fail...oh it is such a  fail: The other day the boys and I were out front playing in the street. No I am not a horrible mother (ahem), we live on a quiet cul-de-sac at the end of the street.

And then there is reality

So I have been reviewing my FB posts lately and I'm doing the thing I always dreaded doing. Posting pictures and tales of a super mom. Building forts, water play, home made edible sandbox, etc. Bleh.

Chicago, it's my kind of town

I'm gonna start with my "mama win" for this post because it was such an awesome win in so many ways. Mama win: visit to Chicago. Yes that is right, I, and I alone, got to go back home to Chicago. That means that Jay stayed with the boys, all by himself. Amazing. Ways this trip was a win: 1. I got to surprise my sister, the day before she ran the...
