Apparently, even weekly is too much. I’ll try to be by more often, but with naps a thing of the past, I feel like my free time has vanished. I try to sneak by when I can, even if I don’t comment.

Dear Misters Povenmire & Marsh,
Hi! What’cha doin’? It’s me again - the mother of the nominal (toddler) president of the Phineas & Ferb fan club. I gotta say right off the bat, we’re counting down the minutes until Monday when season two kicks off. Partially, that is due to knowing season one [...]
My rather comical small pint has just discovered how much fun art can be. For about two years I’ve invested in colors, paints, markers, and paper for the tyke to get in touch with his (non-existent) creative side. Partially, this has lots to do with my nearly OCD need to buy stationery and office supplies, [...]
There were many things I told myself I would do as a parent: never deny Knute books when he asked for them, stick to the schedule at all costs, never be afraid to give him a good wallop when he needed it, and lavish praise for jobs well done come to mind. I think I’ve [...]
Remember a few weeks ago when the wind suddenly got a little bit crisper, the temperatures left my beloved 80s opting instead to fluctuate between 33 and 67 daily, and the catalog frenzy began to signal Christmas time was near? Back when a three point five foot wunderkind so near and dear to my heart [...]

Have you ever noticed as the Mommy, you are generally the one behind the camera? I am actually in few pictures with Knute for this very reason. Last night, Puppy, Knute and I constructed an airplane out of his cardboard bricks. My son, who looks freakishly like me, absolutely has his [...]
As I am a shopaholic, and I have a squirmy, precocious toddler, my days of spending long afternoons spending in each and every store I went in window shopping are quite a thing of the past. Knute is not a fan of the mall experience. Luckily, there are alternatives.
I have no problem admitting I’m something [...]
Have you noticed how much kids these days have? I mean if I really stop and examine what life was like during my formative years, I have to think we had carp for presents. What could our parents buy us: Disco B#rbie wearing platforms with fish in them and a little powder on her nose [...]
Yesterday I described little Knute’s over-the-top obsession with recreating the tv show Phineas and Ferb - in our backyard. He seems to include Phineas, Ferb, and little Isabella Garcia-Shapiro as friends, because he seriously sets places for them at the dinner table. What can I say? The kid has a hard time grasping these are [...]
I demonstrated last Friday how Knute seems to have a hard time separating fact from fiction. His very vivid imagination often gets more elaborate as the stories progress. Blame Curious George. Blame Phineas & Ferb. Blame Holly for allowing her child to watch that much tv. Blame The Man - just because it’s always a good [...]
