We are excited to be participating in the Listerine Smart Rinse Sweet Smart Challenge. Wow, what a mouthful! If you've read my blog for more than a year you might have read this little ditty about ex#2 accusing me of feeding our child epoxy. Don't worry, I didn't. We have a bit of a tartar problem. That's the royal 'we', I don't have a problem
It only seems like it's nothing more than ads, reviews and promotions. Wanna get a free prescreening of Hotel Transylvania this weekend? Click here to get tickets to see the movie at the Mall of America at 10am on Saturday September 22nd. This is first come first served and having tickets doesn't mean you have a guaranteed seat.

Summer officially starts in our house this afternoon. Last night my daughter and I stopped at Half Price Books to find the book Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones. She also wrote Howl's Moving Castle. Anyway, seems the second book isn't as readily available at the used bookstores so we went to Barnes and Noble to find a copy. My daughter is hoping to

The task force was established to better prevent bullying in our Minnesota schools.

I've been lucky enough to have two children who, at least when under the age of 10, have been unable to keep any secrets from me.

Stores opened up on the street selling just cupcakes (wtf?!) and reality shows were produced on a scale second to rednecks blowing up things on the History Channel. Cupcakes were everywhere.

Last year on the first season of The Voice, one of our very own local Minnesota boys got to sing in front of Christina, Ceelo, that country guy and Adam Levine.
