Invention MamaPosted by Tisha Tolar on July 2, 2009
Interesting that even the great philosopher’s knew that it’s the moms that rock this world. Case in point, the phrase “Necessity, who is the Mother of Invention” (Plato, The Republic -Greek author & philosopher in Athens 427 BC – 347 BC) . Note that Plato did not use the term ‘father’ – and for good [...]
From the Mouth of Babes: The Once-OverPosted by Tisha Tolar on May 21, 2009
Yesterday, my daughter who is 6, asked about having some ice cream for her nightly snack. I told her that there was no ice cream left because someone ate it all. She shook her head from side to side and just said “Daddy”. I politely informed her that her daddy was not the one who [...]
Time for a Checkup?Posted by Debbie Dragon on May 19, 2009
My kids (ages 6 and 3) had doctor appointments today. Just their annual physicals, no big deal.
After only about 5 minutes of waiting in the toy room, we were brought into the exam room. The nurse proceeded to do all that preliminary stuff – blood pressure, weight, height, can they hop on one foot? Then [...]
From the Mouths of BabesPosted by Debbie Dragon on May 10, 2009
My 6 year old had a field trip to the Post Office with his first grade class on Friday. Apparently, the trip was to mail mother’s a letter for Mother’s Day! The letters were created “adlib” style – the teacher created a letter and left several pieces blank for the kids to fill in… My [...]
A 6 Year Old’s Perspective on MarketingPosted by Tisha Tolar on December 16, 2008
So after what had to be one of the craziest weeks on record for me, I had to share this bit of insight with our readers so that other’s too will enjoy a good and probably much needed guffaw during the chaos called the holidays.
Picture it – last week the kid and I were watching [...]
Good Morning, MommyPosted by Debbie Dragon on November 7, 2008
Between 11:15pm and 1am, I returned my almost-three-year-old to his bed 3 times. Each time he staggers in like a small, sleepwalking drunk dude, bouncing into walls and with his eyes barely open, and says “good morning, mommy!” The fourth time he came into my room I gave up and pulled him into bed with me – [...]

Needs reminding….Posted by Trisha Wagner on November 5, 2008
.…….about running inside, following directions, “shooting” toys at other children and playing too rough. That was my wonderful update when I picked up my son from daycare. Now a part of me thinks this is just “bad day” behavior for my little tot because he normally doesn’t get bad reports. But for anyone who knows [...]
Calling all mothers…Halloween party recipes needed!Posted by Trisha Wagner on October 27, 2008
I remember posting a little while ago about this being a great time of year. Well on second thought, maybe I just THOUGHT about posting something like that. Anyhoo, I really like this time of year. Although it is now getting a tad chillier than I find refreshing, it seems there is something to do [...]
WAHM’s- Are your kids in daycare or at home?Posted by Trisha Wagner on October 22, 2008
Ok that question may seem like a no-brainer, but it is a serious question as I am wondering how my schedule will change when I start working from home. Obviously part of my reason for working from home is to reduce the time my son is in daycare and for me to have more quality time [...]
