Teaching Mom to Laugh at Herself

One of the lessons I’ve tried my hardest to instill in my kids is the importance of learning to laugh at yourself. If I’ve said it once, I’m sure I’ve said it a thousand times: “If you can’t learn to laugh at yourself, then you’ll be the only one not laughing while the rest of…

The Adventures of Box Boy

About six months ago, we got new neighbors. They seem nice enough. I think they’re both doctors, and they have one son that’s a few years younger than my daughter. We nicknamed him “Box Boy.” Okay, in fairness to myself and my husband, we didn’t nickname him Box Boy; our kids did. It all started…

The Wit and Wisdom of Braden (2nd Ed.)

On Monday evening I went to a Volunteer Appreciation Event for our school district. While there, I was talking with one of the school district’s “Director of Some-Such-Thing” and we were discussing small children and how their views of the world is so much more interesting than ours seem to be as adults.
