The Superbowl, Melodrama, and Triple Jump

It’s time for some Triple Jump: to hop, skip and jump to other posts I’ve written this week.

Over at NickMom, Nickelodeon’s hilarious humor site, I’ve written this:

How Throwing a Kid’s Birthday Party is Like The Superbowl

Over at Stuff Kids Write, I’ve posted one of Vivian’s melodramatic notes that simultaneously pulls on my heart strings and makes me giggle. Yes, I’m that mom.

When Your 7-Year-Old Is As Melodramatic As a Teen

Feel free to comment at either site.

Thanks for participating in  some track and field with me. May your weekend be filled more laughter than melodrama…and may you not hurt your ankle triple jumping.

If you wish to plan your own weekend away, I’ve shared some tips that are well-researched (i.e. one afternoon on Twitter in Starbucks) in my latest humor column, which was published yesterday in The Calgary Herald.
