I have to admit, I was quite a tomboy when I was growing up. I barely remember playing with dolls or Barbies but I recall when my grandparents bought all the grandkids a horse. I as so excited to just see the horse I don’t recall much about my first ride.
One of the toys that I’ve seen out that remind me of my love of that horse, although she didn’t have multi-colored mane and I highly doubt she would have let me braid it up, is Rainbow Brite. Young girls, heck pre-teens even love the Rainbow Brite toys. If you aren’t familiar with them, then take a stroll through the site and meet Moonglow, Rainbow Brite and Tickled Pink.
While on the website you can check out the great animations and the games and activities too. You can let your child pick out favorites and then use the download link to make door signs, wallpaper or listen to the theme song. You can get videos, coloring pages along with the games and all for free.
The newest Rainbow Brite fashion doll collection will be available in February of this year at Toys R’ Us and Target and you can even check the availability by going to www.rainbowbrite.com.
And, one more exciting piece of news to go with the new Rainbow Brite….I have Rainbow Brite CD’s with games and activities. As soon as I have them in my hands, you can count on one more hefty competition.
So, keep up, don’t forget and if you would like to be reminded when when I post how to win one of the Rainbow Brite Cd’s simply leave me a comment here with your email and I will email you as soon as the contest is underway!

Ok, so as you all know, I have this incredibly big and ugly boot on my left foot. And, my husband painted my toenails weeks ago and they were starting to look really really ugly. So, off to get a pedicure and manicure. Lo and behold, there was quite a few folks in there. I kind of expected that there would be a few, but I really thought that it was late enough that all the prom kids and teenagers on dates would be gone.
But, with that, I give you…..the newest hot dating spot in town…
Yea, see the girl there – with her back to you – her date is this other dude over here in the white hat…the other 2 guys (the one beside her and the one beside what hat dude) are just there …..to use their own words…â€for moral supportâ€â€¦â€¦the guy sitting beside her isn’t her date…he just there…for immoral support…..lol!
These kids attend my Alma Mater and there names are Jay, Cade and Donovan and her name is Alicia. She goes to a different school but she was really pretty so if any girl deserved 3 guys hanging out at the nail salon, she did!
I know I don’t have a really good photo of these 3 guys, I was trying to be discreet at first, but head on over to TV Boyfriends where I’m going to feature the 3 of them because dude…..they are in a nail salon waiting on one girl…those are some awesome guys, wouldn’t you say?
If you squint (these photos were taken with my phone so don’t knock them) really hard, you can see another dude way over sitting alone…he was there with his girlfriend as well….
Where do you think my 4 and 6 year olds will be taking girls on dates by the time they get to be dating age (you know, 40Â or so)?

My husband and I constantly speak of life in terms of “when things settle down†or “when things get back to normal†and as you can probably guess, calm and settled are not adjectives frequently used when describing a family with small children.
So, tonight as I received a photo of a picture I had requested Nino paint for me, I became giddy. One look at and I was in love (and not just because she made my arse look saller than Jupiter, but hey, it didn’t hurt) with this painting. This is one of the most beautiful drawings, paintings, etc that anyone has everyone done for me.
I showed Boy Genius the picture and he insinuated that he did indeed like the photo as well. But, he left it at that. A few minutes later he walks back by my chair and asks to see the photo again….then he says, “I have a new blog tagline for you….â€
Naturally I knew I was about to get non-sense but this time…he made more sense than every….His thoughts one our tagline and our photo..
“Constantly re-inventing normalcyâ€
He added, just look how normal you three look,,,,weird how Nino was able to leave the chaos out of the drawing. Ha Ha! Without further rambling, I give you, “constantly re-inventing normalcyâ€

So, in the last post, I asked for your advice about how to handle the potty training. And, I’m not looking for more tactics. I’m looking for something deeper, something more in depth. So…
Would you resort to the plan of spending the day in the bathroom with him until he sits on the potty, blocking his way out and locking up the pull-ups. Here’s a suggestion from a reader.
Take a day and DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE
get a HUGE pile of books from the library
camp out in the bathroom – DO NOT LEAVE THE BATHROOM FOR ANY REASON
Do not bring anything but books into the bathroom – no toys
bring something for you to read
Tell him that if he sits on his potty sans clothes, you’ll read out loud to him, but otherwise you’ll read to yourself.
Sit with your back to the door, so he can’t run out
stay there
repeat for a few days
and another one who suggested…
aside of a ped/ psych eval….my best suggestion….assuming nothing medically is wrong…
1. put the pullups under lock and key…literally….there will be no sneaking! 1 pullup a night for sleep..although mine was dry at night before i even tried to train. (Nothing to drink 2 hrs b4 bed)
2. take a day….and go cold turkey….it’s underwear/training and plastic pants. plan on several days w/o leaving the house.
3. He doesn’t wear the above…..he gets nothing…and mean it…no tv, no toys, no nothing – not even food. To get anything…he has to wear the above. This is not up for negotiation!
4. once an hour..he sits on the potty…1st in clothes, than naked but…see above.
5. He sits, he gets a rewards…once sitting is established, he pees/poops he gets reward. Reading on the pot is good to give him something positive,
6. He has an accident…he cleans it up. (to the best of his ability.)
7. If you must leave the house (to take other child to school?) He’s in plastic pants, sits on the potty b4 and after trip, and keep trip as short as possible.
Good luck, it seems you have quite a willful child there…but you can make it so he has no choice…it’s training pants for you buster!
What would you do? Would you try the above strategies? Would it matter to you that I feel like there is a deeper issue and that I am going to cause him stress for the long term if I try these methods? I don’t know what I think could be wrong with him but he really has been a difficult child in his 4 years.

These 2 kids! BAH!
I’m struggling here. People wonder why my house looks like a war zone. Obviously those are the people who haven’t spent much time with my children. In my opinion, boys are just so much rougher than girls.
As I typed this, Ditto-Boy is trying to pick up a broken picture frame that he knocked off the wall while trying to prove to his little brother that he had some hulk like strength…or something. Crap, I don’t know. I just don’t like it.
My nerves are sprayed.
I miss my daycare.
I miss….I don’t even know what I miss, I just miss stuff and having a kid in school that I have to worry about getting in trouble….yea, it sprays my nerves.
And, in the 3 days since he started……Mini-Me has refused to do anything but aggravate and agitate me. He begs to go to his Nanny’s 99% of his waking hours (he begs her when she is hear to go to her house and let him go, why can’t he be happy with her here? No, he has to cry to go to her house where he can torment her alone I suppose). He cries 98% of the his waking hours. That leaves 2% of his waking hours that he is not crying.
My nerves……because right now is one part of that 2%, however, he is whacking his brother in the head, slinging things in the toy room and tattling about something only the freakin’ Mother of Sunshine could answer…
And, if you read my earlier post….you know…..IT IS COMING A DOGGONE FROG STRANGLER OUT THERE!
And, now I’ve gone and yelled at them. I’ve probably only yelled at my children one other time. So, what is going on?
