Ask any one of my kids and they will tell you one of my favorite mantras is “if I had feelings they would be hurt, but since I don’t, it’s all good.” How was I to know all those years ago that by the mere act of procreation I would be setting myself up to […]
November marks the beginning of the thermostat war in the Bennett household. We have three different control zones in our home and Scott and I have come to an understanding with regard to two of those zones but when it comes to the master bedroom it is all-out war. I like the temp at a […]
In less than one month Jess has bought a house and has gotten engaged to be married. There are a lot of things going on here. First of all, the house has great bones but it needs a complete overhaul on the inside. This is so right up my alley. I love the big picture, […]
For Gracie, this has been the year of American Girl. She received an American Girl doll for Christmas last year and we also took a trip to the American Girl store in Atlanta this past summer. Big mistake! Gracie loves reading the American Girl books and even knows when the AG catalog is due to […]

Being the OCD mother that I am, I’m well-prepared for cold and flu season. I am stocked with tissues, cough medicine, vitamin C, lots of fresh batteries for the temporal thermometer and vaporizer and all the TLC my kids will require. We’ve had our flu shots and I’ve trained my children in the fine art […]
For the last few years I have been the Secretary of two bowling leagues. The Secretary’s duties are fairly simple—collect the money, deal with the lanes, and generally just make sure everyone is having a good time.
