The other day Ronan tried to cut bread with a chef knife. Today he was able to turn on the stove and dishrag caught on fire. (Okay both grandmas should take deep breath, and try not to have anxiety attacks.) I saw the whole thing, Ryan was called and dishrag was promptly put under running [...]

of frankenstein cake and dog tv
today my mother and i pieced together a cake from various odds and ends. its amazing but a box of cake mix, 3 pounds of strawberries, vanilla pudding mix and chocolate pudding mix can turn into a beautiful and tasty cake. and dog tv (backyardigans in roni-speak) made it all possible.

Going shopping – in my garage

“I am going to tape your iPhone to your butt!!!!”

Boren ….. Politseymako…what’s in a name
Well I have started on a ritual many newly married women go through – changing my last name. Who knew that it would be so painful and difficult. So far I have stood in line at the registrar office, Social Security and DMV. (And let me tell you standing in any line when you are [...]
