I’m a pretty good mother.   At least, I think I am a good one.   Ze kids are smart, they thrive, they have good manners, their sense of humor is really awesome, and–even if some days I want to run screaming for the hills–they are all around good kids.
Just [...]

I’m lucky I have kids.
Otherwise, this Christmas,  I would be sulking about my bills.  I would never leave my house.  I would be wearing my fleece toile pajama pants and men’s hoodie for days on end- using only my dog’s sniffing and humping of my crotch as an indication that [...]

I love my girls more than anything in the world. More than TV, more than the intertubes, more than brownies. That totally says that I love them UH LOT.
My girls are 5 and almost 4 – 18 months apart and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I [...]

Participants: My family (me, husband, and the four year old)
Subject: Frankly, I’m not quite sure

Here is my proof:
Hallowe’en has to be one [...]

WARNING: The following post is just like “Shit My Dad Says” but a little grosser and originates from the other end of the age spectrum.
“Just let her have a lick!”
This was exclaimed after one kid wasn’t letting the other kid taste her lollipop. Why anyone would let someone [...]

I’ve never had aspirations to win a poker tournament, so it’s really not a big deal.  But that’s not really what this post is about.  I mean, I don’t even play poker.  Unless World Poker Tour on the PSP counts.  And if it does, I have a [...]

One of my favorite treats and splurges is taking my kids through the automated car wash.
(Aiming Low at it’s best baby.. forget theme parks.. the car wash is where it’s at)
Our car wash has that tri-color wax that it sprays on and my kids ooh and aaaah over [...]

Sometimes, when I find myself in a difficult situation, I ask myself, “Self, what would Amy Lo do?”
Amy, in case you don’t know, is the mascot AND patron saint of Aiming Low. She is truly the source of all unorthodox wisdom and crafty girl-knowledge and this is my [...]
