1. My kids crack me up.
They’ve been huddled around my laptop for almost an hour, intently working on something.
What are they doing?
Mapping out routes to random places using Google Maps.
Me: “What are you doing, there?”
Baby Monkey: “Using Google Maps.”
Me: “Why? You going somewhere?”
Monkey in the Middle: “It’s important to know how to go places. And, if you zoom down to street level, you can pretend it’s a driving game.”

2. Real Man is more than a little awesome.
We were not having a good day.
Any of us.
Everyone was grumping at everyone else and it was going downhill quickly.
So, while sitting at dinner, Real Man holds up a spoon and says, “This is the love spoon. We’re going to pass it around and when it’s your turn to hold the spoon, you have to say why you love someone at this table, and it has to be specific and more than ‘he’s nice,’ or ‘she’s funny.'”
And they did it.
And the day was saved.
More than a little awesome, that guy I married.

3. I don’t know how Instagram works, but everyone seems to have an Instagram account.
I mean, I have an account, but I always figured it was just to take pictures and then add cool effects.
I’m not sure how to (or why to) follow people on Instagram.
Is this really something else I need to do?
I love social media…I really do.
I just don’t know if I can add something else to my list of things to read, watch or check.
Weigh in, friends.
Instagram…worth it?

4. I am currently loving these commercials:

5. Don’t forget to enter our contest to win a free copy of I Just Want to Pee Alone.
Not just any copy…a signed copy…signed by the four New Jersey authors.
I don’t mean to brag, but I’m one of them.
Contest ends tonight at 8 pm.
I may have to borrow that love spoon! That’s a really clever and special moment.

It really was. He’s great at bringing everyone out of a funk in a constructive way. 🙂

Love the love spoon! Where on earth did you find that man? We need him to be the next Dolly (cloned sheep)

I have heard of Instagram and that is the extent of my knowledge. I will add that it is apparently being used very negatively by some kids and is causing problems at school eventhough they are using it outside of school. PS – I love those commercials too!

Monkey Girl has actually told me that Instagram is bad and that’s why she doesn’t want it. However, my responsible (mostly) adult friends seem to really use it well and enjoy it. I’ll have to do more research!
