Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: SHE CALLS IT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/she-calls-it-constructive-criticism.html
SHE CALLS IT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. My Mom and I, 1981. It's 1993. I'm acting in a painfully bad play at my high school. At the intermission, all the actors (including myself) go out into the lobby to visit with our families. Parents can be heard showering their children with false praises for what is an obviously mediocre ( at best. Play I approach my mother and ask her what she thinks so far of the show. Her response, "Is that my lamp and rug up there on stage? Does he even know you? Out, to tell her ...

http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-most-perfect-guacamole-recipe.html
THE MOST PERFECT GUACAMOLE RECIPE. Do you know anyone who does NOT like guacamole? I sure don't. ( Insert poster here that reads "There's too much guacamole, said NO ONE! I've made guacamole so many times and I really think this is one of the most perfect guac recipes I've come up with. MMMmmmmm. SOOOoooo gooood. Serves 2-4 as an appetizer with chips (but if you want to eat the whole thing by yourself I won't tell anyone). 2-3 medium sized limes, juice only. 3 tablespoons red onion or shallot, minced.

Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: THE TOP TEN TOTALLY "TERRIFIC" TOILET TRAINING TACTICS
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-top-ten-totally-terrific-toilet.html
THE TOP TEN TOTALLY TERRIFIC TOILET TRAINING TACTICS. As I psych myself up to begin potty training child #3, I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of actual potty training strategies that I have either used or personally known of someone using. These are all true stories. Seriously. Hold a Fleet Baby Laxative up in your hand when your child is 18 months old (yes, you read that right, EIGHTEEN MONTHS OLD) and say dramatically, "Either you do this yourself or I do this for you.". Show your da...

Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: VEGGIE TRENDS: KALE SALAD
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/veggie-trends-kale-salad.html
VEGGIE TRENDS: KALE SALAD. It seems as if kale has become the new Romaine. And remember when Iceberg. Was used for everything? Eww Iceberg is like so 1995. Anyway, it's about time we realize the benefits of this vitamin enriched-cancer fighting-cholesterol lowering-super duper queen of greens, no? If you haven't tried kale you are missing out. It can be prepared in so many ways but, like anything, it's best when eaten raw. KALE AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE. 7 ounces cubed feta cheese. Just n...

Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: FOR THE LOVE OF CLIP ART
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/for-love-of-clip-art.html
FOR THE LOVE OF CLIP ART. Not very many people know this about me but I love making clip art. I guess you could call it my guilty pleasure, because I felt like such a dork, being a grown woman who loves to doodle on her free time, I didn't even tell my husband! When he found out what I was secretly up to, he gave me a really weird look and said, "So, you're an artist now? Um, I wouldn't call it that. But whatever I'm doing, is. I have some available in my little etsy shop which you can check out here.

Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: DEAR TEACHER PARENT GROUP OF MY CHILD'S SCHOOL
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/dear-teacher-parent-group-of-my-childs.html
DEAR TEACHER PARENT GROUP OF MY CHILD'S SCHOOL. I'm just going to cut right to it: I. Hate. Fundraisers. You and I. We are on the same team. Maybe I haven't officially joined. Your group, but that wasn't because I don't like you. You do some great stuff for the school. We both want what is best for the students. I should be able to opt my kids out of this type of collusion. Teach me your techniques! Charlie's version of School Fundraising. Besides being incredibly manipulative, I find this type of fundra...

Tales of an Ordinary Housewife: COMBINED BIRTHDAY PARTIES: YES OR NO?
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2013/09/combined-birthday-parties-yes-or-no.html
COMBINED BIRTHDAY PARTIES: YES OR NO? See how well they get along? Maybe they would think a joint birthday party was cool. My sister Cristin, so far, is the only one who has advised me against a joint party. She says that if I throw them one party, no one will want to come, and no one will want to bring two gifts for two kids. Which leads me to another question: How do you go about gifts at a combined sibling party? Or feel as though they are required to spend more, or bring one gift for both siblings?

CHILDHOOD "CLASSICS" MY CHILDREN WILL NEVER SEE. Me: "Who is Pee Wee Sherman, you guys? This is driving me crazy! Boys: "He's someone Wyatt told us about. He laughs like this and does this dance and.". Me: "Oh, do you mean Pee Wee HERMAN? Boys: "No, Pee Wee SHERMAN.". Me: I'm pretty sure, you mean Pee Wee HERMAN. (I proceed to to do a really bad Pee Wee Herman impersonation.). Boys: Yeah, that's Pee Wee SHERMAN. Me: No, you mean, Pee Wee HERMAN. Boys: Who's Pee Wee Herman? Pee Wee Sherman and my creepy.
