I. AM. SO. SICK. OF. BEING. THE. TIME. POLICE. Wish I had something really rich, deep and inspiring to share, but I don’t. It’s a day for just venting. Every day, every mother goes through this. GETTING OUT THE DOOR. For school, for camps, for appointments, for sports, for the grocery store, for play-dates and playtimes. For WHATEVER, because we don’t live and hibernate in our homes. Nor do I Continue Reading
Baby, You Have Come So Far
Once you hardly moved. Now you are running. Once you hardly cried. Now your cry is heard and understood. Once you barely spoke. Now you ask a million-seventy-two questions per day. Once you could not hold anything in your poor low-tone fingers. Now you can write two sentences, easily. Once you could not read the pages of the books you flipped through obsessively. Now you read. Out loud. Continue Reading

I love summertime and I also truly struggle with summertime. I love BBQ’s, festive parties, July 4th fireworks, and eating outdoors. I love that there’s no homework for my 3 kids (and me!).

It’s striking to me how, now that I am Continue Reading
The Kitchen Floor Chat
Who knew that the kitchen floor would be the place for a monumental conversation? Kate hopped out of bed one night recently. I was puttering in the kitchen and she plopped herself down on the floor. I don’t know what stopped me from firmly giving the stay-in-bed-lecture. I stopped what I was doing instead, thankfully, and sat down beside her. Maybe I intuitively knew what was coming. Kate: I Continue Reading
I Desperately Need Arts-N-Crafts Boot Camp
I bought my very first glue gun. I know, I know…how did I survive 11+ years as a stay-at-home mom without one?? Well, if you have been reading my blog from the start, you KNOW that I dislike and avoid arts and crafts. Is it that I dislike or even hate these type of projects, or is the truth that I am totally, undeniably insecure in my artistic ability? Yes, the latter. I told you I would Continue Reading
