>Number of snowstorms our plane landed in: One. Number of snowstorms we had to walk through to get to a connector flight: One. Number of times I thought I was going to die while bouncing through the sky on said connector flight to and from Durango: 2,457 Number of times I forgot to get off […]

> MommaK here again – or as Lucinda likes to call me Kissy Lee. Do Me a Favor, Don’t Ask Often times, being asked the wrong kind of question is like hearing fingernails on a chalkboard. Even seemingly innocent inquiries tend to be the deepest offenders. We all have our own personal hot buttons with […]

>Hiya – MommaK here. I’ve been blogsitting for Lucinda this week and now I’ll be doing a few guest posts until she returns on Sunday. Guest posting is a tricky job because you don’t want to piss off the blog’s owner by writing something dreadfully boring or by posting a picture of a gigantic penis […]

> Let Her Eat Cake or Whatever Else That Will Make Stop Whining *Note from Lucinda: Kristen’s daughter recently tried to climb out of her crib (something I have long had a horror of happening at my house) and broke her leg.

Anyway, thank you Lucinda, and I hope you are having a fabulous time! […]

>Early tomorrow morning, Hubs, the girls (minus the baby, who will be staying with the ‘rents) and I will leave to ski in Colorado for a week. I am trying to get excited; I love skiing. But frankly, it’s been cold here. Too cold. And I want a beach and a big tropical drink. Anyway, […]

>I might just have a budding Shirley Temple on my hands. I took Baby to the doctor the other day to reassure myself that her nighttime coughing was not a reoccurrence of an ear infection (it wasn’t, and it has since gone away). At the check-in window, I said hello to the women behind the […]
