Victoria Lost Her First Tooth!

Well, it’s about time! I thought she was never going to lose a tooth!

Here’s how it happened:

A couple of weeks ago, she comes home from school and says a friend was looking in her mouth and said she’s going to need surgery. First, what was her friend doing in her mouth? And second, what kind of surgery?

American Idol Top 10 Performance Night

It was Soul/R&B night on American Idol last night, and Usher was the mentor this week. I think he really gave the contestants good feedback that they could immediately use for their performances – if only more of them would have taken his advice and actually used it!

Thank Goodness for DVRs: American Idol & Dancing with the Stars

OK, so I watch Dancing with the Stars, too – don’t hate me!

Tonight is the results show, which is a compilation of last week’s dancing and this week’s dancing, to determine who is the first celebrity booted off in Season 9.

Hooked on American Idol

OK, I admit it. I’m addicted to American Idol. I’ve been a fan since Season 1 when Kelly Clarkson won the coveted title over the teenie-bop favorite Justin Guarini (how could you not love that hair?!).

Each season during the early rounds, Scott and I pick our favorites – and then try to remember who they were as they proceed into the dreaded Hollywood Week. I’m on pins and needles as the poor contestants are forced to make the loooong walk to the judges to find out if they are going to be on the show as part of the Top 24.

Spring Break 2010

The kids are on Spring Break for the next 8 days – Ugh! um, I mean Yeay! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy sleeping in just as much as the next guy, but I can’t help freaking out about what we’re going to do all week.

Victoria and I spent about 3 hours this afternoon making Easter cards for Grandma, Papa, Aunt Amy and Uncle Dan. Yes, I said 3 hours for 4 cards. They’d better appreciate them, too – they cost me about 30 bucks in scrapbooking supplies! And the best part is, tomorrow Alex wants to make his own! Anyway, she had fun and the cards really are cute.

Kids' Choice Awards 2010

I just watched the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon with the kids. Lots of slime, very little interesting content.

Katy Perry got a face full of slime that knocked her off her feet. I’m not sure it was planned that way, but she was hit full force with green goo! My kids loved it! If you have kids and are at all in touch with the current tween stars, this was the place to be. Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Lautner, et al. I can’t believe the Chipmunks movie beat out Twilight New Moon for best movie but, hey, I guess my tastes are a bit different than a 13-year-old girl’s!

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

I just finished watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and I couldn’t wait to get online and write about it! I watched the premier on Sunday night and was blown away by several things.

First, the rudeness of the people he was trying to help was appalling. The radio talk show host was downright offensive in the way he treated Jamie. Here is this charming, successful chef who has taken time away from his own family to try to suggest some improvements that can actually change the lives of our children in a good way. He hit a roadblock every step of the way, from the radio guy to the lunch ladies, to the principal of the school and even the superintendent and! The radio host was so closed-minded that all he could say was that they weren’t going to eat lettuce all day.

Hello out there! Newbie blogger on board!

Well, I've finally taken the plunge into the blogosphere! My first post on my first blog. After all of the time, thought and research put into taking this step, there should have been some fanfare to my grand entrance...but, no, it's just me at the computer, kids playing in the background with Daddy, dishes in the sink from supper -- just another day.
