Are you a Helicopter Mom?

0 comments January 28, 2012

Guest post today from my friend, Aurelia Williams. Thanks Aurelia!! How to Ground the Helicopter Mom Do you know what a helicopter mom is? I bet you’ve meet one or two. They are the moms that hover over their child all of the time and swoop in to fight their battles before the child even has a chance to open his or her mouth. You’ve seen her… she is the one that is up in the coaches face when he sits her child on the bench or the one that rushes to the school ready [...]

My son is a dragon! Now stop touching my belly!!

6 comments January 23, 2012

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Lunar New Year!! 2012 is the Year of the Dragon! My son is a Dragon! He was born in the year 2000. I can’t tell you how many Chinese women in Vancouver rubbed my tummy and proclaimed blessings on me while I was pregnant that year, hoping for me that I would have a son. I’m not making this up!!!! Apparently dragon sons are highly prized for their intelligence and ambition and lots of other good stuff. I would be told over and over, anywhere and everywhere, “Oh, I hope [...]

What is your favorite non-swearing swear?

27 comments January 21, 2012

This week I had the BEST discussion on Facebook and Twitter I have ever had. SO FUN! I decided to continue the fun here, because I KNOW you all will have some funny stuff to add to the conversation! It all started when I asked this question on my Facebook Page: “What’s your favorite non-swearing swear? I mean like, “Shut the front door”, or “Frick”, or “Holy Shiz” or something like that…” My fellow weirdies never fail to entertain me, and I got some awesome responses! From Facebook: bottomly pots. and if its really bad. [...]

Welcome to WEIRD and Wordless Wednesday! Sure to be weird, not so sure about wordless though.

What do you have an iPhone for again?

6 comments January 14, 2012

A few months ago, Sweetie upgraded his old dying flip-phone to an iPhone 4. He gave me his new iPhone 4 and took my tiny bit older iPhone 3G. We text more now that he can just type instead of hunting around for letters on the numeric keypad of his old phone. That may be the extent of added functionality that the iPhone has given him… Case in point – Text conversation between my Sweetie and I: Me: Since there’s nothing else to do on my to-do list, maybe I should investigate a new Facebook [...]

Garage Needed

0 comments January 13, 2012

You know, all that stuff that usually goes out in the garage. Stuff like: ice skates Christmas decoration boxes bins storing the hunting gear boxes being saved for something-er-other tools etc Well, we don’t have a garage. So all of that stuff ends up somewhere in my house. IN the house. I don’t have enough storage spaces or attic space or closet space at the moment, and I’m rearranging things and getting rid of some stuff. So all of those things that COULD go in a garage if we had one are hanging out with [...]

#Mompreneurs: Got a plan for growing your biz in ’12? #MomBizRetreat can help!

0 comments January 11, 2012

I have LOTS of friends who are moms that have their own businesses – mompreneurs! Mompreneurs rock! As a fellow mompreneur, I know that small businesses, home businesses, and mompreneur businesses don’t always have their business plan or marketing strategies in place. Getting our business plan put together through a course that my husband took has been HUGE for our peace of mind and for feeling like we have a handle on what we’re doing. Not having some foundational things in place like this can make everything else mompreneurs are trying to do more difficult, [...]
