The "Funny Farm" of the Cowles family.
This "whole blog thing" started with letters to my girls. It began as simple notes to them when they were babies. I wrote about their milestones and how much I loved being their Mom! As they grew, my writing grew. The simple notes turned into letters for their big birthdays and things I wanted them… Continue reading Letters to my Daughters
NEVER LAUGH AT YOUR HUSBAND. Hubby loves chocolate milk for breakfast. Some mornings that's all he has until lunch. Yesterday, he just poured the milk into the chocolate syrup bottle and shook it up. (Btw, if you ever want to prank your coworkers this is a great way- coworker thought he was just drinking chocolate… Continue reading Never Laugh at Your Husband
Our dog, Minnie, has been very confused over the past few weeks on who to go to for her needs. Since spring break and this virus quarantine, T has been her main caretaker and she looks to T, when she wants fed even when I'm home. The last few nights she's been leaving our room… Continue reading Home Intruder or is it just the Dog?
When soccer (or really any sport) is your children's lives, it becomes your life, and life seems to move around the sport. Laundry loads are based around what jersey needs washed for tomorrow's game. Meal planning is essential, and the crockpot is a permanent fixture in the counter. Soccer bags, muddy cleats, sweaty socks, and… Continue reading Life of a Soccer Mom
Like most two year olds, when T was about two years old, she was just pushing my buttons. After the 5th time of me telling her to "Stop eating the dog food!", she threw a fit. I waited patiently until she was done with her fit and I asked if she "had put her 'grumpy… Continue reading “Grumpy Pants”
As with every kid, when the girls were little, they liked to jump on furniture. Bed, couch, chairs, coffee table...it didn't matter what it was, they jumped on it, and as with every mom, jumping on the furniture is huge no-no! One day, I caught them jumping on T's bed, and told them to get… Continue reading Jumping on the couch
I have a fear of just about everything under 1 lb. I'm o.k. with dogs, cats, guinea pigs even, but MICE, oh my word, neighbors 4 streets over can hear me scream if there is mouse in the same building with me. The girls have hamsters as pets, and I'm o.k. with them in the… Continue reading Scary Little Critter
When the girls were little, I was in the kitchen making breakfast and they were playing in the living room. I heard giggles and dancing and clapping so I went out to see what all the excitement was about. I watched for a bit as they were jumping in the air and clapping at what… Continue reading Sun Fuzzies
I was saying goodnight to the girls and I was in S's room and I asked my regular nightly question, "what was the favorite part of your day?" S told me and I told her my other "regular", "wake me if you need me." She smiled and I added, "because you know when I'm old… Continue reading “Wake me if you need me.”
Right now, I'm sitting here listening to my girls play with their Barbies, but I'm "NOT ALLOWED" to listen! Most of the time when they play, they want P and I out of the room. They don't want us listening to them play. I guess it's embarrassing when we start cracking up at their high… Continue reading “Supermom bug killer”
Have you ever felt like a monkey could do your job better than you? There have been some days where I have thought, “a monkey would be better at this.” A monkey could get my kids’ juice (without spilling it all over the floor). A monkey could put my kids to bed. A monkey could… Continue reading Monkey Love
