June 29, 2012 the movie Magic Mike hit the box office in Canada. Part of the description for this drama/comedy film states, “But nighttime is when Mike really gets to display his many talents: He’s the hot headliner in an all-male revue.” Now let’s talk about my 3 year old son, “bath time is when… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter M for Magic Mike

Over the last few years I have learned an amazing amount about Marvel characters and the Marvel storyline. I have also learned a number of things about Star Wars and the draw of the lightsaber. However, in my house all these things include duels to the death! Originally, each child would take up a role… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter L for Lightsaber

Google defines ketchup as “a spicy sauce made chiefly from tomatoes and vinegar, used as a condiment” (February 19, 2017) I don’t know about your household, but in mine ketchup is a hot commodity, the Heinz brand of course. I think that my older boy would drink it through a straw if we let him.… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter K for Ketchup

Let’s talk about jealousy for a moment, jealous in the sense of “feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages” (Google February 18, 2017). When my first son was born he instantly became mommy’s little man. Even at almost 7 he is my boy. Oh sure, he loves his dad too but… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter J for Jealousy

First, I have to admit that I don’t know the general nature regarding how little girls play since I am the mother of boys, and growing up I was something of a tomboy myself. However, if I had to hazard a guess I would imagine it doesn’t (or at least usually doesn’t) involve guns, swords,… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter I for Is Everything a Weapon?

The pantry is bare and the shelves of the fridge look as if they were under sudden attack by a starving enemy. Where does the food go? The grocery bill gets higher and higher but the amount of food left in the house dissipates faster and faster. At 3 and 6 I feel positive that… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter H for Hungry

I slide my feet out of my boots, the worn carpet feels familiar under my feet. I float down the hall on light feet eager to see my little boy’s big smile and sparkling blue eyes set above his chubby rosy cheeks. I enter the room at the far end of the hall and my… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter G for Girlfriend

Picture this. You are sitting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, and the room is moderately full. There is a soft hum of whispered talking. A woman enters with two boys in tote, they appear to be about 3 and 6 years old. Cute little boys, active but doing their best to try… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter F for Farts

Children, at least mine, seem to have big ears at inconvenient times. It always amazes me how their ears work perfectly when it is something I don’t want them to hear. However, ask them to pick up their toys or come to the table for dinner and suddenly they can’t hear! My younger boy went… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter E for Ears

The two of them were so small. I remember thinking how hard could it be to watch two fast moving toddlers for a few hours? I watched the two of them run down the hall on tiny little legs, the best of friends since boy met girl at 8 months old. They rounded the corner… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter D for Diaper Cream
