Sometimes there are conversations that you are a part of or overhear that leave you thinking about them for days. Last week I was sitting in the children’s section of my local Library with my toddler Anneliese. She wasn’t really interested in having me read her any books, but instead wanted to play with the interactive kid’s structure the Library …
All I Need to Know In Life I Learned From Musicals
I might have been a strange kid, but some of my earliest TV/movie memories are of musicals.The thrill of watching Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber and more filled my little heart with happiness. I loved the dancing, the color, the costumes and of course the music. As perhaps would be expected, watching these musical “dramas” provided much learning to …
The Cutest DIY Kid’s Boot Socks Ever
My kids go to a public charter school where they wear uniforms. I like the uniforms and feel that they cut down on a whole world of problems for both families and children. My girls also enjoy adding cute and fun accessories within the dress code. Today I wanted to share with you these adorable DIY kid’s boot socks I …
When Magic Happens
My family lives in Southern Arizona. Winters here are typically sunny, beautiful and clear with average temperatures ranging in the 70’s. On New Year’s Eve a storm blew in that brought cold and rainy weather. It also brought something else. Snow! This isn’t something that happens on a regular basis here so we bundled up the older children (we left …
My Wish For You
To all of my friends and readers, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a few days off this week. Hopefully in order to make some good memories with my children. Truthfully, it’s about a fifty fifty draw how all of this will go down. Funny story about that, yesterday I sat all of my children …
Man-Day Post: What Your Man Wants for Christmas
Welcome to a new Man- day post from Jensguy! OK, In going back to Jennifer’s List of Songs That Need to be Retired, she forgot to list one of the most schmaltzy tunes we have to deal with during the Holidays, the insipid “My Grown-Up Christmas List.” I’m picking on Amy Grant because I love her and owned ALL of …
Five Christmas Songs That Need To Be Retired
One of the best parts of the Holiday season is the music! I love to listen to all of the sleigh bells jingling, chestnuts roasting and yule time carols both old and new. In the town where I live there is a radio station that plays nothing but Christmas music for the whole month of December. This occupies slots 1-5 …
The What No One Wants For Christmas Gift List
This last week Jensguy and I were sitting and chatting one night after the children had gone to bed. As usual our topics ranged far and wide, but on this particular night he began a conversation centered around the worst Christmas presents we had ever received or seen given. Jen: Oh kind of like that big hulking gorilla with a …
What To Watch On NETFLIX When You Are Sick
Usually I don’t post on Tuesday, but the last two days have been brutal. My body has alternated in between feverishly insane hot flashes and bone jarring chills. My head has felt like it was being repeatedly beaten by a brick and my body ached like I had just run a marathon. This does not happen very often for me, …
Hosting A Frozen Palooza For Under $40
This last week we celebrated my daughter Rebekah’s 7th birthday! Like many, many little girls her age she is in love with all things Frozen and begged that I put on a Frozen Palooza for her this year. Finances have been a little tricky for our family this year and so I needed to make sure Rebekah’s party was fun …

Take a look at these pictures of our Princesses and you will see that she looks an awful lot like them …
How You Choose To Fight Is Important
Social media has been buzzing this week because of a recently released video of “Potty Mouth Princesses”. If you haven’t seen the video it features little girls dressed as princesses saying the “F “word for feminism. At least that is what the title and description of the video says. I am not linking to the video and I am not …
Head, Heart, Hands and Health
This weekend the JENerally Informed family spent our Saturday at a 4H Fur and Feathers show. My daughter Samantha is part of the rabbit project and has a bunny named Lance-A-Lop. Lancey as we call him for short, is quite frankly equal parts diva and equal parts gangster. If he could talk our family is fairly sure that our ears …
