My mother in law (Gam Gam) to the boys, sent this to my inbox this morning.  This 13 year old boy wrote these lyrics to a song called "Tell me Why?" and then recorded it himself.  I started crying (because I'm a sap) yes I am but also because it's sad to see our children are going to be left with this life we have created for them and they see the destruction, hate and fear that lives surrounding us.

It's an incredible song... you have to listen to the words and then show it to your kids.  They should be aware so maybe they can make difference in our world.




Declan Galbraith was born in England but is of Irish decent and he has continued his music career.  For more videos continue reading.

My family is so screwed up!  No I seriously fecking mean it, which is why the potty talk, but it's true.  Here is how the scenerio went down before we (Forgetful Dad) and I even got out of bed this morning.

Hey guys, please bear with me as I attempt to fix this lifestyle template from BG.  I wanted to change my template from the last one because I need more room on my sidebar and beneath my posts.  I also needed more links up top.

I appreciate you being kind while I get this done.  It shouldn't take me too long to find my home here and make it more appealing for all of you to look at.

Have a great weekend!

With my three year Blogaversary coming up soon, I've been sitting and pondering the past three years blogging, how I started and where I am at, and most specially what I have learned.

I came across this video in my youtube collection, which I took years ago back before Pickleboy turned two. I made it because my husband has a brain injury and I wanted him to know despite the ups and downs, all we go through in dealing with his special need. He is special to us and he's an amazing father, so I'm sharing it with you today!

I love you FD (forgetful dad) you are the greatest husband and father a woman could ever ask for.

I listened to this and omg I was like, mmmmmmm I do these things. Guess I'm not perfect, I'm crushed!

Good parenting tips!

Omg I am sooooooooooo happy and clean!

Okay if you are confused as to why I am literally jumping for joy.  Read yesterdays post but basically we went all day and night without water and it was a pain in the bun-wagon.

It was awful, every time I turned around to do something like: make KD for the kids, brush my teeth, drink for crying out loud.  Oh no!  We have no water.

It's funny, my girls and I were just talking about this on the weekend.  One of my good friends Laura, it was her birthday and an opportunity to go out came up.  FD babysat the boys while I ventured on, not without much prodding from my other gal pals Sheila and "Tee" to go to Cheers a local pub where everyone else was going to celebrate Laura turning another glorious year.

I love Fisher Price.  What parent doesn't?  Well they have a new Facebook application and I thought I'd check it out, especially since Mom Select suggested I do so and well--I love them too.

Ohhhhh I was so excited on Friday because I got a package in the mail marked from Alexa's Angels.  I nearly jumped out of my skin and like a kid on Christmas I ripped and teared.
