Hugs and Cuddles and Stacking Firewood
I have to admit that sometimes the twins can be more than a bit annoying. Yes, they are little angels 99.99% of the time but sometimes they go through phases when they do get a bit annoying. The phase the twins are currently in was annoying…until I changed my perspective. See they are both really clingy.…

Brown Bear the Baby Blogger
Brown Bear has decided to become a baby-blogger herself. She is tired of the world through my eyes. She decided to become a blogger because she is tired of everything being seen through my eyes. Notice how Blonde Bear is watching from a safe distance. And just for the record, my Sweetheart took this photo…I would…

We decided to kick things up a notch and introduce some custom built containment devices. Enter the doorway-gate. Not only is this gate attractive and practical, it is fashioned from a sustainably grown and…

Don’t Forget to Turn Off the Baby Monitor
Well now that was embarrassing. We currently have two house guests. Two very lovely lady friends of my Sweetheart. And late this afternoon I went upstairs for a little privacy time. I just wanted to get away from the hubbub of all the visiting and being nice and all that goes along with that. So…

Store Brand Vs Name Brand Products
Last night I stopped at our local “Chopper” grocery store (somehow, I have no idea why, that is what we started to call the local No-Frills store when it opened a few months ago). While I was at the Chopper I remembered that we needed more baby powder at home. Seeing as I was in the Chopper and they…

Melissa Etheridge Custody Battle
Under the file name “Things that make you go hmmm…” is this “news” item that recently came out of court papers in the Melissa Etheridge Vs Tammy Lynn Michaels separation/child custody fight. Melissa Etheridge’s ex is asking for $1500 a month for groceries, $50 for laundry, $800 for eating out…I’m not touching this one, and $4300…
