More from The Boy

TB: "Mom, can I have some coins to throw in the fountain."

Me: "Sure.  Let me find some pennies."

TB: "Okay.  But, I am pretty sure it takes dimes too."

I really think that you have a future banker on your hands, or at least someone who loves to save money or at least ask for it!!

Little Sweetie! Thanks for popping over. I clicked on the link you left with your comment (to come and add you to my reader), but it didn't work. I Had to go searching for you, but you are worth it :) (you left out "family" when you typed it) Have a great week!

Reminds me of the intro to the Jetsons... Tonight, while walking into church, I spotted some coins in the parking lot. I suggested that Kate pick them up and we would give them to the contribution... she did, but quickly dropped them... they were H-O-T! Yeah, it was 94 degrees here today!

Have you ever seen quarters in a fountain and thought about fishing enough out to get yourself an Oreo blizzard at the Dairy Queen? Yeah....me neither.

I love random things that kids say. It's nice to know that they keep it up as they get older.
My nearly three year old cracks me up constantly. (yesterday, for example, he relayed a story to his grandmother that a polar bear "ate him all gone.")

I love those cute little snippets. You try to write them down or remember as many as possible but there are just so many.

My oldest used to turn down coins, but instead asked for "quiet money" AKA bills.

Very cute post :)

Well, you could always take him up on his "quarter offer" and then you've gone full circle and kept the money in the family. I think that was his plan the entire time.

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin

Blogging for Dollars?

My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won
