So as a mom to 8 crazy monkeys I can't resist. Given the recent uproar over a restaurants decision to ban children under the age of 6 I have to comment and add my 2 cents worth.

Medication and the ADHD Child
For most people, a quick glance through my half open front door is enough to send them running down the street screaming.

I am taking it all in when I hear a familiar child's voice shouting, "Mommy!" and I turn to see my two kids … [Read more...]

Things That Make You Go “Hmmm… I’m Such an A-hole.”
So, last time I posted a rather long list of woes about me and my home I've been trying to spruce up for the holidays. Since then, Painter has finished the job, and he hasn't been back since Monday, which is awesome - lovely as he was - but we're all ever so happy to have one less body in the house, … [Read more...]
