1. Those painfully painful MiniPops commercials. No tween needs to be singing anything on tv. EVER. 2. Winter. Cold things. Ice. Also, falling on my arse because of said ice, I could do without. 3. Homework. Ahem. If I wanted to go back to school, I WOULD. 4. Kim Kardashian. 72 days is NOT a [...]

It teaches and promotes life-long patience. (Exactly how many times in one’s lifetime can we really say, “Flush the toilet!” I’ll let you know!)

My adorable four year old is sick right now – feverish and miserable one moment, clammy and cuddly the next. She’s also wicked moody.

The four year old decided to draw my parents (her YiaYia and Pappou) from memory, using her DSi. This is what she came up with. Her PAPPOU: This is eerily accurate I might add.
