On the 12th Day of Christmas,
My children gave to me……
A Barbie head in a Christmas Tree!!!
I’ve gotten used to the fact that I won’t have a tree which is arranged to perfection.
And forget the fact that a glass ornament hasn’t seen my home in many years.
This is what is called a ‘reality tree’ when you live in a house of Chaos!
I even found a sock in there the other day.
I just consider myself lucky that it’s still standing at all!

Today is Canada Day {Happy Birthday my beloved country}. On a day that is my favorite, 2nd only to Christmas – I try to take in the activities around my city. I adore the excitement and celebration that is Canada Day. Alas, the last couple of years have been pretty low key, since the Twins’…
Here I am on my second week on the NutriSytem diet, and I have to say – it is going great! I didn’t know what to expect, had no idea what the food tasted like, and wondered how I’d do on such a program. And that, my friends, is why I took on this weight…
Last weekend we hosted a BBQ with friends. The older kids had some pop {soda, for those who use that term}. My twins, at almost 3 years of age, hadn’t tried pop before. At one point in the evening we heard a strange, “slurrrp….*cough*, *cough*….slurrrp, *Ahhhh*”. There, hiding almost under the deck stairs, was…
At the city fair last month, we took the kids to the ‘petting zoo’ in the Little Red Barn. Bunnies, goats and ducks ran amok and the kids were in heaven at the chance to be so close to all these adorable animals. That is, until one duck ran straight toward Katie and nipped…

Yet, just because you are well under the age of 50 and not close to menopause – you may still be at risk. My mother took a bad fall in her 50’s,…
I love that the twins are finally old enough so that I can take all 3 girls to the movie theater, by myself. As long as they have a snack – they sit still, and we are all able to enjoy the movie. We have done this for the last couple of weekends now, a…
Wow. Now that’s a tree with personality lol. Thanks for the chuckle!
ha that’s funny ! adds character though
Oh, that’s just awesome! I wonder if your girls still continue to dress her headless body, like mine does!
Hmmm, speaking of – I haven’t seen the body in a while…oh no, wonder where that is…??
That is PRICELESS!!! Even my husband enjoyed seeing this one Tammi…. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
HA that is too funny!
I must be super brave I have glass ornaments all over my tree. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old. Then we babysit twice a week our nephews that are the same ages. They even throw soft balls in the house.
So far nothing has broken. Last year we had one break. It’s only a matter of time I’m sure.
roflol! That just cracks me up! You never know what’s going to end up in the tree! hehehe
That’s amazing!! Going to go check my tree to see if any floating heads are in there…
I completely understand! I found a DVD and a ramen noodle on mine. “But MOMMMMM, it’s PWEETY!”
I ramen noodle – HA!!!
too funny, brightened up my morning.
LOL that is hilarious
That’s so funny! I remember putting socks and all sorts of unwanted items on the Christmas tree when I was a kid. And I know I’ve beheaded a Barbie or two in my life, not to mention cut and coloured their hair. My friend and I had some great punk rock barbies. Thanks for the laugh and the memories. 🙂
That actually freaks me out a little bit… It makes me think of the nextdoor neighbour Sid in Toy Story, the one who mangles toys. Ahhh!!!
I love this. It brought a much needed smile to my face tonight. Thanks for sharing.
Haha, that’s great! I don’t think my family would notice if that was on our tree, because the majority of our ornaments are handmade, so all of them are really, really different.
