Life Like Mine: Language Barrier
http://kelleybaldwinlifelikemine.blogspot.com/2014/12/language-barrier.html
The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Unless you’re nine years old. Then it becomes entertainment. Our son marched into the living room and announced in a booming voice, “I’ve been going comprende since the 1970s.”. Uh, say what? I chuckled and asked for clarification, “Did you just say ‘comprende’? 8220;Yeah,” he said. “You know, comprende. Could have been a squirrel. Could have been the cat chasing a squirrel. I straightened back u...

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Thursday, August 28, 2014. 8220;I took your advice, Mom, and didn’t do anything to get sent to the principal’s office,” my son announced after his first day of fourth grade. He smirked then added, “But I can’t promise the same thing tomorrow.”. There was a time I would have rolled my eyes and snorted at such a ridiculous sounding statement. My son? I used to joke that the only time the kid was a tattle-tale was on himself.

Life Like Mine: March 2014

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Friday, March 7, 2014. Oh, the birds and the bees. I knew the day was coming - in the not-so-distant future - when my young son would start asking more detailed questions his parents weren’t quite prepared to answer. It comes at dinner. On a Tuesday. While your mouth is stuffed to the gills with loaded mashed potatoes. Like, say, a carrot? Well, I friggin’ know why. Probably because I had a coronary due to too many potatoes.

Life Like Mine: January 2015

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. I grew up on a farm. And on that farm was a mom. A mom who knew how to stretch a buck. Especially during those lean times just before the cattle took their little trip to market, leaving us flush with cash again for several months. Oh, good times! No surprise, it’s the same in my own home all these years later. But now, thanks to recent events, none of us may never be able to eat. But wait a sec.

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Hanging with the ladies. Bob and Zach took a quick trip to the North Pole yesterday to deliver our son's letter to Santa. But they didn't make the trip alone. They emailed this photo to us last night. Apparently they took a couple of ladies from Mystery Inc. with them for a quick trip and a round in the hot tub. Elf on the Shelf. Monday, December 9, 2013. Elf on the Shelf. A little Minecraft magic.

Life Like Mine: Sweating the sweets
http://kelleybaldwinlifelikemine.blogspot.com/2014/11/sweating-sweets.html
The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. After 41 years on the planet I finally got smart. I didn’t buy Halloween candy early this year. Past experience has taught me well. Buy candy early. Eat all the candy. Throw up. Buy more candy. Gain 10 pounds. So I decided to Just Say No this ye. Ar and wait until the very last possible second to get candy for the little tricky monsters. WE DON’T HAVE ANY CANDY YET? Whoa Settle down there, cowboy.

Life Like Mine: September 2014

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Last week, I told my young son that his female fourth-grade classmates will soon be undergoing changes within the next year two, thanks to our dear friend, Puberty. He jumped like he’d been tased. 8220;Here’s the deal,” I said in an I-mean-it kind way. “They are gonna start to grow boobs.”. 8220;Geesh, Mom,” he whined and rolled his eyes. He quickly nodded, “Got it,” and off he went. Identify th...

Life Like Mine: Arts and gaffes at the museum
http://kelleybaldwinlifelikemine.blogspot.com/2015/02/arts-and-gaffes-at-museum.html
The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Arts and gaffes at the museum. 8220;And this,” I pointed out the life-sized, breath-taking oil on canvas to my nine-year-old son and his friend, “is a Caravaggio.”. I turned to look at their faces, which appeared as if one was trying to divide 428,562 by 3 and the other was wondering what we’d be having for lunch. Not quite the spectacular reaction I was looking for. So I tried again. Then he jum...

The life of a wife, a mom and a writer. Approaching it all with laughs and luck. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Bob and Zach are back. The Elves on the Shelf have returned for the 2104 Christmas season, and it appears they are not fans of how "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" pokes a little fun at this holiday tradition. Labels: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Elf on the Shelf. Friday, November 21, 2014. I sincerely thought I could dismantle his large bunk bed and move it into the bigger room. I even practiced my “ Ta-da! But, l...
