  Dear Readers: It’s What the…What?

• Sex Sells and Apparently So Does “Fifty Shades of Grey”

    Last week on this blog, I learned that “Sex sells.”  That’s not totally true.  I actually knew that, but y’all made me laugh when I hit an all-time-high number of blog viewers when the topic of last Wednesday’s blog was all about sex.  You guys kill me! While I have no intention of changing…

• Today’s Post Is Most Definitely NOT About S-E-X!

  Dear Readers: Before I begin today’s blog, I have to take a moment to comment on yesterday’s blog (Cell) Phone Sex.  You people seriously crack me up!  My goal in writing this blog is to make you laugh, but yesterday you made me laugh!  What is it about sex that sells?  I put sex in…

• 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. Kids just…
