Princess Tiana
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: December 13, 2009
I took my daughter to see “The Princess and the Frog” yesterday. We have a special attachment to this princess, as my daughter’s name is Tiana For months before the movie came out, she would see a poster or ad and yell “Mommy, it’s me!!!” So, I took her as soon as possible [...]
Missing the Midwest
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: August 27, 2009
Technically, where I live now is still the Midwest. But it is a vastly different place from where I grew up. As the seasons change and Fall begins, I find myself missing home even more. I love the colder, turtleneck-and-blue-jeans weather. I love the way the air smells coming off the water. And I couldn’t [...]
Back to School
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: July 31, 2009
Today, my children got their letters from their teachers to announce the beginning of a new school year and lists of classroom supplies.
The preschool my children attend is part time. I like this schedule because it feels like an easy introduction to a learning environment than just dumping them in kindergarten full time right off [...]
Adult Beverages

I have a question. And I believe it is a legitimate query, not just some smart-@%$ observation.
Why do people give their very young children soda? Or pop, or Coke, or whatever you happen to call it in your region of the nation?
How do you look at an 18 month old baby and think “hell, [...]
Enough already!

As anyone on the earth knows, Michael Jackson died. While I have the utmost respect for his talents as a performer, I’m so tired of the incessant coverage of his death. I’m sure there were some who felt the same when Elvis passed. Regardless, Mr. Jackson was not, in my opinion, worthy of this ridiculous [...]

When he was a kid, being Jose Martinez, Jr., was often a little annoying. He was always Little Jose to his dad’s Big, and he [...]
My Baby is 2 today!
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: June 15, 2009
My baby girl is turning 2 today. No longer a baby, but a walking, talking, independent little person.
I’m trying really hard not to be totally depressed over this. It isn’t easy.
Radical Motherhood
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: June 8, 2009
Radical Motherhood…I’ve come across this term a number of times in recent media articles, and I’m curious as to what it means. Sometimes it seems used in a derogatory sense and other times it seems to signify a certain lifestyle or approach to parenthood.
I’m not really sure I understand this. I know that becoming a [...]
I have a confession
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: June 2, 2009
I have to get this off my chest. I am 100% a Twilight fan. Yes, I know I’m too old. Yes, I realize it is pure escapist junk. But you know what? I just don’t care. I’ve probably read all four books at least five times. I love it in that crazy, schoolgirl, posters on [...]
Cleaning House
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: May 30, 2009
Well, it’s springtime (o.k., almost summer) and I’m finally getting around to scrubbing out all the winter grime that has accumulated around my house.
Why is this so challenging? Because I really do hate cleaning. As in, burning-fire-of-Hades hate it. I’d much rather hang out with my kids, do something useful, or do a whole lot [...]
