Hand on my heart and with the Girl Scout’s honor, I did not teach this to them.

Written on August 30, 2012 at 5:30 am, by thelittlehenhouse
That me! And Annie about three days before she was born.
I keep writing about how I can’t write anymore and I’ve been trying to read more and write less to get the whole writing thing going again and you know what? It might be working. Maybe.

Normally, today would be a Dr. Mom Mondays post, but Dr. Mom is out of town. And since I am currently stuck at the airport waiting for a delayed flight, I thought I would use this time to catch you up on some of the recent happenings here at The Little Hen House.… Read More
My Budding Artist
Written on March 13, 2012 at 5:30 am, by thelittlehenhouse
Emma is knee-deep in her pre-school curriculum and it’s been really fun watching her grow and learn new skills- particularly when it comes to her writing and drawing.
She’s learned how to spell her name, Annie’s name, she can recognize all the letters of the alphabet and she can draw semi-decipherable pictures.… Read More

Totally Busted
Written on November 29, 2011 at 4:31 am, by thelittlehenhouse
Sometimes I let the kids play in my car. It keeps them amused, and best of all, it keeps them contained. I just shut the car doors (on their insistence, not mine- don’t judge) and they entertain themselves for a good while.
The other day, after they were done “driving”, I went to retrieve them and well… I wish I had taken a picture, but this is kind of what it looked like in there:

I’m officially the Associate Editor for mint.com’s blog (Mint Life) and Quicken’s blog, both owned by Intuit.
It’s a big day here at The Little Hen House.… Read More
