It’s a Sweet Bear’s Life


I have started a blog for Sweet Bear. She has been calling my blog her site. When I asked her if she wanted her very own blog she smiled big, big, big (as she would say) and said, “YES”!
She wrote her very first post with the help of Mama. You can read [...]

Paris was not to be


Paris laid before me. All we had to do was swing up from Dijon. My husband had some things he had to take care of in Dijon and as soon as he was done we were going to hit the road again and head to Paris.
We were driving around Dijon searching for his appointment when [...]

Feeling a little out of sorts as of late

The birds, the bees and peeping bears, oh my!


What are little boys made of?
“Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails. That’s what little boys are made of !”

“Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s what little girls are made of!”

Last week, Sweet Bear told me she saw a little boys wee wee. I asked her if she [...]

The perfect couch for perfect stinkers


The girls at a park in Germany this past Sunday.
After school yesterday Sweet Bear told me she was tired and laid on the couch. Our couch is more like a family bed than a family couch. It is a futon and we never bother putting it up and just leave it down so [...]
