Happy New Year! And thank you to everyone who offered your kind words. I promise to keep on keeping on, because what if the mannequin came back? If a mannequin shows up in Nicole’s alley, and Nicole doesn’t write about it, does it really exist? We may never know. I hope you had a lovely […]
Boyhouse Year In Review 2014
December 31, 2014 by
I have a confession to make: earlier this month, I thought of closing this blog down. I thought maybe I should retire it; when I started it in 2008 – 2008! – I was writing about life with two little boys, aged 3 and 4. I was writing about funny and not so funny anecdotes […]

So there I was, just going about my day like any other; I was driving back home from dropping the kids off at school, and guess what I found in my back alley: Manny! What have they done to you? For those of you who haven’t been following the Mannequin Saga of 2014, when we first […]
