Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
Welcome to Crunchy Carpets. The House of Crunch is filled with kids (3), dogs (2) cats (3) and some lizards too. This blog is about trying to keep it all together and not lose my mind.
Because the sun was shining on Saturday, we decided to try to have some fun and took the kids down to the Ocean Concrete Open House, down at Granville Island – even managed to find parking! Adam loved it. Caity wasn’t impressed and didn’t even want to climb on all the big trucks and diggers. […]

I really don’t want to fill my blog with my teeth gnashings and whining. It sucks. The strain and tension suck. The fighting sucks. CH and I snap at each other. We are snapping at the kids. The kids are snapping at us. The kids are wigging out due to the all the tension in […]

Sarah over at the Goon Squad has been pondering this conundrum lately and it came up today with our family…at the mall. We had to take care of a couple of errands at the mall – one being getting a refund from ticketmaster – and two being Crunchy Husband paying his speeding ticket (snicker). Fun […]
sort of sucks right now. It doesn’t help that I am getting over some weird cold that hit on Sunday. It doesn’t help that I am feeling a tad burnt out with footing the majority of duties surrounding kids and household. It doesn’t help that if my MIL is going to be in the hospital […]
Skittles has tagged me with this one! Technorati will love all the new links. This is Technorati Link Love Meme. 1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion; you need to break up […]
It has not gone for good (we hope) My clever techie/developer friend was doing an upgrade and it apparently did something really weird and she is trying to figure it out inbetween parenting her crew. So fear not….
