  1. I live in Malaysia and have been here for nearly 6 years. We go to Singapore all the time and we LOVE it. It is amazing. Go, go, go!!!! When we moved to Malaysia my oldest was 11 and my middle was 5. It has been an incredible experience for all of us. My kids tell me all the time how grateful they are that we came here. GO!! :)
  2. I collect china teacups and saucers. No one else in my family collects anything.

  4. I did it! I hit 52 books. But my challenge for myself was to make half of them non-fiction since those take me longer to read and I hit that mark, too.

  6. And this is why I have a rule for my elementary teachers that all projects must be done in class. The parents are crazy sometimes. We used to have a Christmas locker decorating contest for the kids but the parents went so berserk and it became so competitive that we stopped it entirely. We also no longer have birthday celebrations in class because of the nutty parents that go overboard every time. I feel for you. I'm not crafty either.

  8. My 16.5yo ds is driving my nuts lately so I can relate.
  9. My hometown is only a 4 out of 10... Which is weird because I thought a nuclear blast ALREADY hit the Detroit area? Certainly seems that way. ;)

  11. Most annoying FB trend... The humble brag.
  12. I use some tissue to get a good grip on the tooth, then TWIST and pull. It's the twisting that makes the difference.
