The Boybarians Overtake the Science Center

July 29, 2008

I try to post chronologically, mostly because I use this blog to help me remember things in my ever-increasing age. Do you guys use your blogs for memory keeping? If you don’t… take 10 minutes and read a few of your archives. I love it! But this is from when I [...]

The One That I Bore You With a Million Hot Air Balloon Pics

July 27, 2008

Sorry. It can’t be helped. Handy Man took nearly 900 pictures of the gorgeous skies at Indianola’s National Hot Air Balloon Classic. If you’re anywhere in the midwest, mark your calendars for ‘09. This one is worth the drive. We go every year as part of Handy Man’s birthday celebrations. [...]

My Last BlogHer08 Post. I promise.

July 25, 2008

Life With My 3 Boybarians will resume its normal ramblings promptly.
I’ve spent some time reading some of the posts in the blogosphere about the BlogHer swag – and I have got to ask – was I at the same conference as y’all?! I came home with a tire gauge, a magic eight ball, a [...]

Blogging about BlogHer from Mt. Laundry

July 23, 2008

Any stay-at-home or work-at-home mom who has left for any period of time can tell you that if you leave you will be punished upon your return. That would be so much funnier if it weren’t true. I knew I had been slacking off ’round here when Handy Man said to me yesterday, [...]

"… a San Francisco Treat!"

July 17, 2008

I heard before coming to San Francisco a quote attributed to Mark Twain:
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
I checked on snopes.com and the man never said it. It’s totally true though. Snopes, instead, says this about San Francisco:
It may be California, and it may be lovely, [...]

Awww. You won’t even miss me.

July 15, 2008

It finally happened! Einstein is soooo happy. He thought this day would never come. It was almost too much for him to handle when Picasso lost teeth before he did. But this morning, while brushing his teeth, this happened….
I’ll be hopping tarmacs again bright ‘n’ early tomorrow morning. Those of [...]

Who Is Going to BlogHer?

July 11, 2008

I know you’re out there… somewhere.
The BlogHer Convention has once again sold out. That means there are at least 1000 women bloggers out there heading to San Francisco next week to network, learn, fraternize (or perhaps it should be sororitize? ), and listen to the blog know-it-alls goddesses about networking, reaching out, learning more [...]

HOTM Online Contest Winners!

July 7, 2008

So I’m usually a huge fan of random.org and I always use that site when picking a winner for my contests. I tried picking myself once – it was just too much pressure. I couldn’t handle it. I tried, but eventually made Handy Man do it. But this was the first [...]

Happy 4th of July! CONTEST!

July 4, 2008

This is the auto-bot version of Darcy’s blog. Hopefully she is out doing something fantastic with her Handy Man and Boybarians. Me? I’m just a computer. I don’t even get to watch fireworks.
So – homeschoolers this one’s for you! Ever wanted to attend a conference but the schedule, cost, baby-sitting, [...]

Sweet, Sweet Picasso

July 2, 2008

Ha! Even my mom thought the frog – and yes, it really is a urinal! – was in our house. This frog isn’t in our house, but Handy Man did help design it. It was created by an artist in New Mexico and is in a house Handy Man designed that sits [...]
