It's Random Tuesday and so of course that means I will posting a bunch of nonsense lmao, stuff that goes on around here and what's new in the Shaw household. I wish I had furry feet.  There I said it.  Hair on the tops and sides, that way I could walk barefoot through the house on the cold hardwood floor without wearing socks. ...

Having a movie on hand can be a moms secret weapon when it comes to keep wee ones quiet, on long trips, at home for an hour or two while you blog, a before bedtime ritual or what have you.  I know I have used movies to give both PB (Pickleboy) and myself some much needed quiet time, both together and separate from one another. That's why when...

My boys totally want to see the new movie "How To Train Your Dragon" hitting theaters this weekend, and now for a limited time Paramount is looking to get the word out and is offering moms all over to a special early morning screaming starting March 26th, @ 10 am. These are the cities involved:  Chicago, Denver, L.A., Miami, Minneapolis, Orlando,...

It's Wordless Wednesday and we are heading out of town. Before we go though I wanted to share a few pics with you of where we are going. Kelowna is a gorgeous place. We used to live there --- ahhhhhh the sun, sand and sweetest people ever! If you participate in WW then head on over to their website to post your link and hop around to see other...

So as always when I come across a great story from another mom, I love to share it here, and I just so happened to have such a story from Denise Richards, actress and mom of some gorgeous girls. Now for those of you who don't know who Denise is (duh?) she's a gorgeous actress and star of such films as Starship Troopers, Wild Things (one of my favs)...

It's been a quiet week here at the Shaw household, while I've been getting better after a tooth infection, the flu and whatever else God decided I needed to deal with this week.We are getting ready to go away to K-town, Gamer has a hockey tournament coming up this weekend. He's very excited. It will be great to get away for a couple of days, blow this...

Night out with the girls, at home. How convenient, and much needed since I've been feeling like crap lately. I got my tooth pulled this week, it got infected, then I got the flue or what I thought was the flu and then my period came today. Nice, eh? So my girls came over and we cracked a bottle of red and drank and laughed, talked about love,...

I recently had an opportunity thanks to the wonderful people over at CSN Stores to do a review on the Step 2 Motorcycle and I have to tell you, when it first came I clear thought Pickleboy was going to jump right out of his skin! PB just turned four.  His birthday was March 11th and he could not wait to try this toy out, and was excited when...

I saw Twilight. Loved it! Saw New Moon, and read the books. Loved it! I am currently anticipating the third installment, Eclipse. Now I wish I could tell you I love the books and movie because of Robert Pattison who plays Edward.  Or sexy  (for his age eye candy) but I'm old enough to be his ahem (sister) Taylor Lautner.  But I...

It's Tuesday and you know what that means. It's time for randomness according to one of my "fav" bloggers Keely at the UNmom. I woke up at 6 am, yesterday morning in such extreme pain, I actually cried hard, like a baby wanting a bottle. I wailed and wailed, telling hubby I could not stand the pain anymore, it had to stop.  FD called the hospital...

For the past week or so I have been having internet problems. We moved the computer. The signal is strong (portable by Bell) upstairs and the dlink router seems to working correctly. So why on heavens earth was I still having problems connecting to the Internet? I tried everything. I reset the modem, configured things properly. My laptop has...

I absolutely hate it when my kids are sick, and with both PB who just turned four and Gamer who is turning eleven in school now, bringing home colds happens more often then either of them cleaning out their lunch kits when they get home.  The worst part-- everyone in the house gets the cold as well. But even worse than that is when a baby is...

It's Friday, time for some frustrations according to Conversations with Moms, and this Friday my biggest frustration has been my internet connection. We recently switched internet providers because I could not stand Telus's lack of customer service, that and FD (Forgetful Dad) wanted satelitte tv, more channels, more sports, you know how men are. So...

It's Thursday, a great day for a party. It's also my son's fourth birthday today so I'm in such a great mood, I mean what mom gets to host an event with 16 or so kids for three hours and then kick back and hang out with other fab bloggers at the Paper Mate Twitter Party starting tonight? The joys of blogging rock! Mom Select is excited to invite...
