Party of Six: wedding weekend: beauty
http://awfulbrothers.blogspot.com/2009/07/wedding-weekend-beauty.html
Saturday, July 25, 2009. All photos by Nicole Allen,. I'm not really much of a girly girl, but I'm not really a tomboy either. My daily routine consists of moisturizer, mascara, and lipgloss. I get my hair cut and colored every six months or so. I sometimes used to get manicures before I had kids, but my oldest is 11, and I haven't had one since he was born. I think it worked. After the scavenger hunt. I'm glad we didn't try for a big reveal, since I actually really loved getting ready with Will and all ...

Party of Six: July 2010
http://awfulbrothers.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Wellthis second round of Do Nothing, Say Nothing didn't go quite the way I expected. I was just sure that this week was going to be fabulous. The kids were going to rock our world, because we weren't going to do or say anything, and they were going to show us how far they have come in the last 6 months. Ummyeah. Right. That fantasy ended pretty quickly. If they say "no," then I say, "What would you be willing to do? However, I figured that since it's DNSN and I can't order them a...

Party of Six: do nothing, say nothing recap
http://awfulbrothers.blogspot.com/2010/07/do-nothing-say-nothing-recap.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. Do nothing, say nothing recap. Well, it's been longer than I thought since the last time I posted. Oops! Life with four kids, three rats, two full-time jobs, a dog, and a snake is a little crazy! I actually meant to blog throughout our Parenting on Track journey, but one day stretched into twelve weeks, which stretched into six months without a single update. The good news (? The first time we did DNSN, it led to some hilarious (in retrospect) and horrifying moments. Keep in mind t...

Party of Six: do they still call it the boob tube?
http://awfulbrothers.blogspot.com/2010/07/do-they-still-call-it-boob-tube.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Do they still call it the boob tube? The kids' reaction when I told them that we were doing DNSN again, and that the purpose was to observe how far we've come since the last time, and to see what we still need to work on: "Ooohhh, greeaaaat.here comes the moldy milk again! I don't remember this, but someone must have left a glass of milk out - I'm guessing they remembered since they were the ones who cleaned up at the end of the week? Told you it wasn't pretty last time! Will and...

Because That Is What My Life Is Like Right Now: August 2008
http://becausethatiswhatmylifeislikerightnow.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Because That Is What My Life Is Like Right Now. Sunday, August 31, 2008. What makes us love or hate television characters? Sure, their charm and general appeal has something to do with it, but if we're going to buy into a whole character story, we have to relate. G and I were asked to which L-Word character we most relate ("Which one is most like you? We later decided that neither of us related fully to one character a great deal more than the others. So just for fun. To Bette because they have slightly ...
