This is Colin again. I know, two posts in a row… I just have to say how much Bethany and I love CSPAN. It is the only place you can get uncensored information on most stories. If I want news on the Jena Six or Blackwater, my options range from Rush Limbaugh to Al Sharpton, [...]

I like to watch Mister Roger's Neighborhood. My opinion of Mr. Rogers and his show borders on sacred to me and it offends me to see or hear people make fun of him or insinuate anything inappropriate about it. I watched the show on TV when I was a little girl, and now it's nostalgically integrated into my life as the cue [...]

This weekend we rented Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum and enjoyed it. It's a cute, light kid's movie about a guy who's the night guard for the Museum of Natural History in New York and discovers that everything in the museum comes to life at night. Robin Williams plays an endearing Teddy Roosevelt and the actress [...]

We watched a movie called Lady in the Water (M. Night Shyamalan, which last name I never pronounce correctly because it's fun to say it wrong) this weekend and I rather liked it. I was surprised, because I expected to hate it from the trailers I'd seen–it looked like a horror film, but it was [...]

The Lake House is a movie we saw this week with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. It's another Jane Austen adaptation, this time on the book Persuasion. It's about two people who correspond with each other, but who are living two years apart (i.e. she is writing him from two years in the future). I [...]

We eat a lot of tuna sandwiches around. We like them. They have lots of good protein and they're not too messy. Drawback: too smelly to eat around other people (i.e. at work). Colin likes his tuna simple. A can of tuna and a big spoonful of mayo mixed together, slathered between two pieces of [...]

Yesterday I read The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, our book club book for the month. It only took about five hours of uninterrupted reading (the kids took some long naps) and it was definitely worthwhile. The premise is that an old man dies thinking that he wasted his life and that he [...]

Last night for our date we went to the Spring Home Show because a neighbor gave us free tickets. We had a good time, although we had to say "no" to a lot of people. There were at least two people who wanted us to pay our mortgage off their way (which they claimed meant [...]

Long title, I know, but it's the title of a charming book by Tamara Fackrell I'm re-reading that my mother gave me a couple years ago for Christmas. It's probably best suited for mothers of children 2- to 8-years-old, but I think it would be useful for any mother or potential mother. It comes with tons [...]
