Life with a boy five-year-old.
“Can I have an egg?”
“… um. Eggs are for cooking. What do you want an egg for?”
“Well, ninjas in the old days used to take an egg and poke holes in it with needles and blow out the insides and then fill it with broken glass to use for a weapon.”
“…”
“I PROMISE I wouldn’t throw […]
What’s on your nightstand?
(This post was just going to be about books I am reading but I had to show you this miniature that Iain made to show me what my new bookshelves will look like when he builds them. Cue: “Awwww.”)
Anyway. Books I am reading/have recently read:
Nurture Shock, Po Bronson. Reminds me of a great Weird Al […]

Idea: homemade kid-quote blank cards

That bullet I just bit didn’t taste so bad
So we bought a minivan last week. Ay! It’s two years old, a trade-in from the Jaguar/Volvo/Land Rover dealership, which makes me laugh because that is the first and last time I will ever have cause to be on the grounds of a freaking Jaguar dealership. When we test-drove it it hadn’t even been detailed […]

We reject the idea that parenting requires hard work
We pledge to leave our children alone
That should mean that they leave us alone, too
We reject the rampant consumerism that invades children from the moment […]
That reminds me, I hate portmanteaus
On Saturday, my folks came to pick up Owen and Mackie and bring them back to Nana and Grandmatt’s house for a week of fun and grandparent-y indulgence. A WHOLE WEEK. I know, right?
Meanwhile, Iain had the very smart idea that we should take advantage of this freedom and mobility to take a little vacation, […]
who’s there?
Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there.
Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.recent flickr
