Put Your Peddle to the Metal

Posted on August 26, 2015 by larva225

Yeah so school.  I really am in a better place about much of this since I last talked about it (https://larva225.wordpress.com/2015/08/21/when-you-wish-upon-a-start/).  That doesn’t mean there’s not still frustrations and angst.  That also doesn’t mean I’m not drinking a bit more … Continue reading →

Heat, Drink, and Be Merry

Posted on August 26, 2015 by larva225

Working on the Change Gang

Posted on August 14, 2015 by larva225

We’re dealing with the transition that all parents must endure: Stella going off to kindergarten.  And like everyone else, this has been a source of great excitement, fear, anxiety, and sadness.   This change has caused a snowball effect around our … Continue reading →

Scott to Trot

Posted on August 11, 2015 by larva225

  I’d like to send a public “shout out” to HGTV and their Canadian twin phenoms, the Property Brothers, with an honorable mention to “Love It or List It.”  Why?  Well, in addition to being enjoyable and somewhat inspiring television, … Continue reading →

Green Eggs and Hamper

Posted on August 10, 2015 by larva225

One of Felix’s newest obsessions is the white wicker hamper in our room.  Will gets totally skeeved out about it, asking if I’m aware of how gross a hamper is and how many germs are in there.  I suppose I’m … Continue reading →

Marceau Your Wild Oats

Posted on August 7, 2015 by larva225

Kids are obnoxious.  In addition to being bonkers busy and energetic, my kids are both the “chatty” variety.  I hear that some kids are quiet and shy.  I hear that some kids are “lump-ish,” and their parents have to encourage … Continue reading →
