Tutu Cute

Posted on December 18, 2012 by BrassyDel

I made Pixie a tutu, which she was really excited about while watching me tie on each section of tulle and then wore for less than seven seconds. So I put it on Chappy, because their dad wasn’t in the room to stop me, and Chappy thought it was awesome. Then she decided that she wanted it after all, probably…

Holiday Craft Time: Wreath Updates

Posted on December 9, 2012 by BrassyDel

Lately, “art time” around here actually means “preschool crafts,” aka “time for glitter, stickers, and a toddler trying to cut their own hair”. While I’m trying to make more time for my own glitter-free art, I’m also trying to make time to actually celebrate the seasons and holidays with my kids. So I put lights up around the front windows…

3 o’clock

Posted on November 19, 2012 by BrassyDel

  Every day around 3pm, the atmosphere at our house shifts drastically. There’s yelling, crying, and whining about dinner, plus the kids are pretty crabby. I’m trying to cultivate some patience, but it seems to just walk out the front door by mid-afternoon. Which is exactly what my 3 year old would do if I didn’t have a gate up….

A Mixed Pair

Posted on September 17, 2012 by BrassyDel

As difficult as handling two kids can  be at times, I really do like having two. Which is good, since I don’t think they’re refundable. And having them two years apart, almost exactly, means that they can actually play together, which is pretty much the single greatest part of having multiple children. Except when they misunderstand “playing together” to mean…

Little Birdie

Posted on September 12, 2012 by BrassyDel

Little Pixie is a big fan of birds, probably even woodpeckers because 3 year olds are seldom known for discerning taste. Of course, 3 three year olds are often big fans of a lot of everyday things, and that’s part of what’s awesome about them. Can you imagine being totally bowled over because you saw an ant? Chappy is so…

Maybe You’re Not Unlucky

Posted on August 13, 2012 by BrassyDel

There’s a certain amount of luck and serendipity in anything we do, but it’s seldom the key factor. I hear it most as a dismissal of the success of writers and other creatives. Sure, Famous Actor is good, but it takes a lot of luck to make it big! You know what else it takes? Talent, perseverance, educating yourself on…

Take Your Best Shot

Posted on August 6, 2012 by BrassyDel

I drove up to my mother’s house late on a Friday afternoon, both kids in tow, and left them there. After I made them dinner and told my mother how to take care of them, because it’s not like she’s been taking care of children for over 30 years. Also, traffic was terrible. That’s not really related, but it was…

Ride Cow! Harvest Moon Fanart

Posted on July 9, 2012 by BrassyDel

I’m pretty much in love with Harvest Moon, after picking up Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for the Wii for $15 after Christmas. I used to play FarmVille on Facebook, but Zynga’s privacy policies are fairly dystopian. So at the time, I would have itty bitty baby Hanners on my lap and we’d talk about the animals. She loved it, and…

Keep That Thing on a Leash!

Posted on July 6, 2012 by BrassyDel

Okay, so he’s not a “thing;” put down the angry emails! Being a terrible parent, I bought Chappy one of those toddler leashes to wear at the zoo. As much as I hate them, I also think they have their place. Chappy’s only 1, so he can walk and run and has zero discretion and zero concept of STAY. WITH….

Looking for Trouble

Posted on June 29, 2012 by BrassyDel

Somebody thinks that just because he is 17 months old he can do whatever he wants. Eat whatever he finds wants! Run around wherever he wants! CLIMB whatever he wants! Chappy pushes chairs and footstools across to wherever he needs them and then gets on up there all by himself. Looking out the windows doesn’t bother me, but getting on…
