5 minutes and counting

That’s all I have before I turn into a pumpkin. Five minutes.
 Five minutes to tell you that today I had the privilege of tagging along on my son’s field trip to a huge park for a nature walk, along with a visit to the Rowing Center (more on that later). After lunch, the teachers had [...]

Moving at the Speed of Jaden

I have a theory that all first-born children are nervous wrecks. I see it in most of the oldest children in families I know. My dad might challenge that theory because he’s really quite laid back. However, he’s a work horse so maybe his anxiety is channelled through his work ethic.

Monster Trucks

Today I experienced my first (and hopefully ONLY) Monster Truck Show. My friend, also the mother of all boys, called to see if we wanted to go. In a moment of insanity, I agreed.

My husband is FORTY!

I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal… 40. But it kinda freaked me out. Everyone at my husband’s  office wore black. They had black balloons and napkins and cakes with R.I.P. signs on them. Our friends decorated our driveway with signs that said “40″ all up and down the sides. I wanted [...]

First OFFICIAL post here

As I wrote earlier, I started this post elsewhere, but this is my first post here on “lynn’s addiction.” I may be the only one who ever reads this… and my parents because they have to. That’s what parents do. They read all your stuff and think it’s brilliant and even if they don’t think [...]
