When Big Brothers watch the baby….

by ⋅ 3 Comments

…you have to be prepared for the unexpected!

Today, an anonymous big brother was asked to watch the baby.  This obviously was interpreted as “put the baby on the ground, surround her with toys and walk away”.  :(  I heard crying and turned around to find her head and shoulders in her toy bucket!  No idea how she achieved that!

No photo – did you really think I’d stop and take her picture?!? lol  But here she is afterwards…she still loves that bucket! LOL

Right vs. Left Brain

by ⋅ 4 Comments

Earlier this week I was reading an article about brains. The article said when you fold your hands, whichever thumb is on top determines if you are right or left brained. I tried it with my family…

  • left over right – Grammy, Me, J1 and J3
  • right over left – J2 and Eric

Here is the link (pdf) if you want to try it yourself.  But our results didn’t really sit well with us so after our knitting group today (where I asked everyone to fold their hands! lol) I did a bit of research online and found a fun quiz – let me know what your results are!


You Are 70% Left Brained, 30% Right Brained


The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.

Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.

If you’re left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.

Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.

If you’re right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.

Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.
