A Public Apology to My Mom, and Mrs. Sparkly’s Ten Commandments Award
I am not proud about what I am about to confess to you. Worst of all, I know I will disappoint my mother the most. I committed a HUGE sin in Polish tradition. I used instant potatoes in my pierogie. It has been a bit incredibly difficult to sit down and write a proper post these last few weeks. The weather … Continue reading
The Calm Before the Storm…
Daughters #3, #4 and #5 trying REALLY hard to impress the Easter Bunny with their good behavior. I am taking a poll on how long this will last…
Holy Moley, Canoli!!!
Holy Moley Canoli!! In only about 60 days I have gathered well over ten thousand readers in more than 60 countries! Thank you so much to all the people that took some time out of their busy day to look into my little world and, hopefully, get a little giggle, or perhaps forget something they’re … Continue reading
“Mommy? Do Convuwtabulls Have Wids?”

Today is the one year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It is also the anniversary of my Daddy’s death. My last post ended with my doorbell ringing. There wasn’t anyone there when I answered, and oddly enough, I was not at all surprised. Ever since my father passed away, little weird things … Continue reading
“Just Don’t Make Him – Don’t Make Anyone – Your Meatloaf!”
I woke up this morning with a tingling burst of schoolgirl excitement. Today is the beginning of my “birthday octave” – the eight days before and the eight days after my birthday. The two week period where I get special treatment and goodies from my family – little things like breakfast in bed, dishes being done … Continue reading
“Mommy? Why Do You Get to Eat Chicken Wings for Breakfast?”
“Mommy? Why do you get to eat chicken wings for breakfast?” asked a sleepy little voice this morning. Yikes! I hate it when they sneak up on you when you’re just in that moment of private delight. Like right now, when I was getting ready to eat my spicy leftover chicken wings before the girls … Continue reading
