…so one weekend morning, I wanted to run out and get some ingredients to make a nice big breakfast but I needed to ensure Michele Lynn Sequeira could stay sleeping since she worked the evening shift the night before. How to prevent the kids from coming in and waking her up? A honey-trap! In Photo […]

Anatomy of a Shitty Night’s Sleep
We’re here in Sunriver, Oregon, for a family vacation and, unlike our other vacations here, we are sharing the house with my inlaws and thus Team Sequeira is contained to one room so that we can fit all of us in the house. It should work fine as we have a full size bed and […]

My Life, the Fairy-Tale
My life is sometimes a fairy-tale. Unfortunately, that fairy-tale is entitled, “Baldylocks and the Three Boors” … Once upon a time, there was a kindly old soul named Baldylocks and he had three boors. Every morning, Baldylocks woke up to make breakfast for the three boors. The first boor complained, “My oatmeal is TOO HOT […]

Boy, Does HE Know How To Give A Compliment
My kids rave over their Mama. They sing her praises most days when she’s at work. As they’ve been getting older, they have also started to gain empathy and one day, my son realized that maybe I might feel left out when they were singing her praises. After my daughter finished a rousing chorus of […]
Mama ain’t gonna teach you this
As my daughter gets older she has less use for me in certain instances but today my daughter really needed a Daddy
That Looks Painful
My two boys, being close in age, have a lot of clothes that look interchangeable, with only a slight difference in size. This means that they regularly wear each others’ clothes and my older boy will come out in high-water pants while my younger son has pants that drop around his ankles because he’s not […]
Sometimes It’s a Good Thing
My three year old has zero filter and no control over the volume of his voice; this can quite regularly lead to awkward conversations in public places but not today.
