They say it’s going to snow here.
Some report it’s already started.
It’s really cold and windy.
But Seattle’s ready with the freeway signs just in case:

In many of my positive discipline/positive parenting books and even a couple of the lectures I’ve attended, there are some misconnects when it comes to allowance, chores and the rules inbetween. One belief goes to lengths about how children should get allowances regardless of whether they did their chores or not, as they’re considered a […]
Anyone with experience with toddlers knows the day is filled with these little beings grabbing, touching and doing anything their little hearts desire. The toddler years are filled with exploration, spontaneity, and often a complete lack of self-preservation. The challenge on parents’ and caregivers’ end is trying to protect toddlers from themselves or from hurting […]
How do you remember to be thankful, when from the moment you’re woken in the morning until exhaustion takes you at night you struggle to be somewhat productive and do right by your family, boss, PTA, neighbors, pets, beliefs, convictions, etc. and so on? When every thought and task is interrupted at least twice and […]
What do you do when your child starts lying? For me the first instinct was to get really mad. But I had to cool myself off and give it a good long think. I was a constant liar when I was a child. It wasn’t until I reached my adult years that I learned from […]
Today I’m handing of the controls to Nancy Parker, a nanny and writer who wanted to offer some advice on finding a nanny who uses positive discipline.

I’m sure it’s Photoshopped, but it is perfect anyway. I hear the news you’d think it was Armageddon. Every time snow is predicted. Sorry about the butt crack thing.
OMG you have me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants! I think I see my Dh’s car. He’s down in the city this week for work, commuting over to Bainbridge. Good thing he came home and got his Jeep yesterday! We actually got a dusting of slush today. Our street has been known to go several days before seeing a plow (you know how the rural counties have thousands of miles of road to plow, and only 2 plows), so I’ve always had an all-wheel-drive vehicle. Thanks for the laugh!!
