As few months ago, we were given a nice big fishtank for the Bg Stinker’s room. His angelfish was cramped, so we were ahppy to undertake this new project. But when my husband went to pick up the tank, along with the ziplock bags I sent along, he realized I had not asked for enough information about the tank’s current inhabitants. He called to tell me the...

Last week, I got the amazing news that my family won some tickets to a “Storybook Ball”. The woman told me that many families came in costume, which sounded fantastic, except for the fact that except for Big, who had a pretty awesome king costume, we didn’t have any storybook costumes, and the event was in four days. I hit up a local thrift store, but didn’t...

The other day, I was at the zoo and it was time to give Little a snack (our term for nursing). We were in the primate house, there was a bench in the back near the monkey cages and hooray, a table with a coloring activity to occupy Big! Jackpot. If there was ever a place where I would absolutely not get the stinkeye for nursing, it was here. We did our stuff fairly...

Alone in...

The other day, as I drove the Big Stinker home from pre-school, he asked if he was going to die before Little Stinker. I asked him why he thought that, and he said it made sense that since the baby was born later, he should get to live linger. I told him that there was no way to know for sure who would live longer but they both should plan to live a very long...

Stinker has been really interested in the human body for quite a while and has been asking for a skeleton costume on and off for months.  But when we got an invite from a classmate to attend his human body themed birthday party, it was finally time to get crafty.   For this project you will need: Plain black pants and long-sleeved shirt (order them online,...
