Despite Susannah spending a goodly bit of our Saturday in the ER (and spending a goodly bit of time fraying my nerves) for a mild concussion- p.s. She’s fine– last week was one of my favorite weeks in the history of ever. Why? Oh, maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Dad’s post-chemo scans came back with the best possible news for a dude with his type and scale of cancer: -His markers are at a {Read More}
Kids Bowl Free= Free Bowling All Summer Long= I’m Sorry, WHAT?
June 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment
You guys. YOU GUYS. In honor of the first day of summer, I’m doing [awkward] backflips to tell you about this simply unreal summer event. It’s called Kids Bowl Free, and I’m fairly certain you’re gonna find a participating bowling center in or near your town. (Yes, even you, darling Canadians.) Ready for this? Once you sign up- for free– your kid gets to bowl twice a day, all summer long. For free. There is, quite literally, no catch. It {Read More}

Summer is practically- finally- beating down our [screen] door. And what better way to celebrate than with the girls’ best friend- and favorite neighbor gal! One of us is veeery thrilled to be sitting with the Big Girls. Tell us another one, Em. I swear I did not pose this. It’s not summer until you visit the ice cream truck and the fish pond in the same trip. Sittin’ on the stoop, housing some soft serve. And I just added this pic {Read More}

The Flynn Girls wish their Pop all the awesome in the world as he awaits his results: (Thanks to Kate for thinkin’ up this whole idea, Emily and myself for taking it to the Cover Girl level, and Rachel for being the only one posing like she has an actual mustache. Okay maybe my nephew Garrett- pictured with belly mustache- posed with one, too.) (P.S. Can you see how my little Roo has started to show him/herself? Yeah, this was {Read More}
ProudOn TV And The Cutest Videos In The World. (Yours, Obviously.)
June 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment
This is a sponsored post on behalf of ProudOnTV. Opinions (and adorbs Nora vids) are my own. As a ton of you may already know, your “private” videos on Facebook aren’t very private at all; all it takes is one share from someone in your own network to spread that video far and wide. And uh, unless you make a living broadcasting your kids’ every taste preference and hilariously mispronounced phrase- ahem– you probably don’t want your kiddo’s bathtime vid {Read More}
Father’s Day, Benders, And Quality Time.
June 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I realize that I’m a tad belated in my Father’s Day post- but a lot has been happening ’round here. Per ejemplo, Peej kicked off his Father’s Day weekend a little early with a Friday night pre-bachelor party bachelor party for one of his best friends. And since this is a family blog, I won’t tell you what time he fumbled with the lock/poked at the security system/faceplanted downstairs- nor what condition he was in. (Side note to our mothers: {Read More}

…Because things were starting to settle down around here… …Because we’re starting to get a respectable amount of sleep each night… …And because it looks like there MIGHT be room for one more… …We’re expecting a baby in December. It’s like they always say, “Why wait to remember what it’s like to be outta diapers before you need to go buy another four cases at Costco?” (Okay, fine, I just coined that phrase.) A few preemptively answered questions: 1) Well, if {Read More}
Bad Mom; June Edition.
June 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment
It had not been a good morning. I would have settled for “mediocre.” “Rather lousy.” Even “trying.” Instead, it was ramping up to be a No Good, Very Bad Day of downright Alexander proportions. Every single thing the girls did was Bad; dunking random things into the cats’ water bowl and the sink and the [open?!] cup of milk, shoving and pulling hair and whining about who was blocking whose view of the [third] TV show, and dumping entire plates {Read More}
