Happy Halloween a Day Late
First, I feel compelled to confess. Last week did not go as well as I had hoped in the organizing/scheduling sense. More on that to come... But ever the optimist, I'm gonna tell you what I'm happy about. WE SURVIVED HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!! I think I might have made a better 70s mom -- it seems holidays … Continue reading Happy Halloween a Day Late
I’m Tapped Out on Family Fun
I've spent the past four nights in a tent...with Gil, the kids and one of our dogs. I have one more to go. I like camping and roughing it and all that, but I think three nights is my max. On Day 2, I made the mistake of sharing with Gil that I was enjoying … Continue reading I’m Tapped Out on Family Fun
It’s Time to Tackle the Laundry When…
...you lose your kid's soccer jersey and have to miss the game. Oh my gosh, you guys, THIS MONTH!! I for one am glad that I have less than three hours left in September. Piers and Gil both have September birthdays, and I didn't throw either of them a party. Not sure if I've mentioned … Continue reading It’s Time to Tackle the Laundry When…
Of Course You Can Always Be a Superhero
I began this morning excited about hunkering down once the kids were off to school and working on the numerous writing projects that I have in my head. My excitement quickly faded once I realized that a two-year-old's attention span is better developed than mine. So what did I decide to do? You're looking at … Continue reading Of Course You Can Always Be a Superhero
The Diva Cup — Part 2
I'm known among my circle of friends as "The Crunchy One." I'm not saying I'm the crunchiest, nor do I aspire to be, but if there's a natural alternative and it works, I'm all over it. I'm also the first to own right up if something is not working. I was a dreadful breastfeeder and … Continue reading The Diva Cup — Part 2
September Randomness: Goodbyes, Job Possibilities, and an Alternative Menstrual Device
I'm craving downtime. September has been a bit insane as far as my family's schedule. I want to jump off of this roller coaster, but it's not happening. Since I last posted, we celebrated Piers' 7th birthday, went to Atlanta for the weekend, hosted a going away party for Maeve from Fiji, who happens to … Continue reading September Randomness: Goodbyes, Job Possibilities, and an Alternative Menstrual Device
This Will Never Be a Food Blog
"Mom, Wallace got really hungry while you were in the shower, so I made him my top-secret family specialty -- A PICKLE SANDWICH!" Piers is my take-charge first-born, and he came into the world wanting to do everything for himself. One of his first understandable phrases was "Piers do dat." I was very much this … Continue reading This Will Never Be a Food Blog
Summertime and It’s Wild Around Here
This picture has nothing to do with this post, but I'm trying desperately to pull myself out of my post-vacation funk and thought something colorful might help. The kids have been out of school for a month now, and frankly that's about all I can take. I adore them, but I am summered out. If … Continue reading Summertime and It’s Wild Around Here
Unplanned Summer Blogging Sabbatical
Busy times, y'all. The boys and I just returned from a two week trip visiting our friends in Western North Carolina. We got in Sunday and I'm trying to motivate myself to get off the couch and put my house back together. Instead I'm surfing the Internet and soul searching. I ran across the following … Continue reading Unplanned Summer Blogging Sabbatical
