NATO makes mistakes in promotional video: Can you find them?

NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.  According to Answers, it’s an alliance of sixteen sovereign Euro-Atlantic countries that is dedicated to the proposition of maintaining democratic freedom by means of collective defense. So you would think with all that responsibility, they wouldn’t make some very simple mistakes in their promotional video – can you... Read more »

Would you have done 2011 differently?

Would you have done 2011 differently?
With the fast approaching New Year, it’s a great time to reflect on what we did right and what we did wrong.  It’s very easy to look back on our youth and think about all the things we would have done differently. It’s hard to look at a more finite period of time and figure... Read more »

Oh, my aching back

Oh, my aching back
Last Christmas, my ever romantic husband got me Xbox .  I love playing games with the kids, so he thought I’d really enjoy Xbox kinect.  I guess it was better than an appliance. We dabbled in a few competitions, but it got really intense on my birthday which was in January.  We had a gaming... Read more »

Would you vote for someone accused of sexual harassement?

Would you vote for someone accused of sexual harassement?
Apparently the answer is yes.  I find it very interesting that with all the bad press Herman Cain is receiving, that his poll numbers dipped just slightly.  Do you think that means people don’t believe his accusers, or that they just don’t care because it has little to do with his ability to run the...

All that candy... now what?

All that candy... now what?
Four kids trick or treating times four hours each, equals a truckload of Halloween candy.  Last night they ate with reckless abandon.  I’m not even sure any of them had anything of substance for dinner last night – unless you count the peanuts in the Snickers.  I had no problem with them shoveling it in...

Plump my Ride

Plump my Ride
Are you concerned about heavy traffic?  So is the car industry, but most likely not in the same way you’re thinking.  We are so fat, that the car industry is making cars more capable of handling the overweight passenger.  Some of the recent car initiatives include: BMW has coined the term ‘plump my ride’ to...

Whose job is harder: Mom or Dad (a mom's perspective)?

Whose job is harder: Mom or Dad (a mom's perspective)?
If you look at the very traditional family, where the parameters are set as the husband goes off to work everyday, earns a paycheck and is the main provider.  The wife stays home and runs the roost.  She takes care of the kids, manages the daily household tasks and generally is just the glue of...

Do you have a favorite?

Do you have a favorite?
As I was driving with one of my children (which is pretty much all the time and also when we have our deepest conversations), we got into a discussion about the black sheep in a family.  It was a term she had never heard before.  After defining, I asked if she thought there was a... Read more »

Things my teenager daughter should know

Things my teenager daughter should know
Any mother of a teenager can tell you all the things about their teen that drive them crazy.  Mothers of teenage girls tend to have the biggest struggle.   My oldest daughter recently turned 15.  If you count the past two years I can’t string together five consecutive days that we haven’t argued about something. There... Read more »

Driving should be taught by strangers

Driving should be taught by strangers
When I was learning how to drive, I remember taking drivers ed through school a couple of months AFTER my 16th birthday, practicing with a teacher in the passenger seat and that was pretty much it.  I don’t remember my parents taking me out at all.  Maybe they did, but it had to be very...
