Cute W left for a business trip that will keep him away from us until Friday, so I’m going to go easy on myself tonight and do one of my favorite things: update a brand-new calendar! You might think, considering that I blog and work for a website, that I’d be all tech-savvy and linked … [Read more…]
Today as I was putting J to bed and saying something sensible like, “It’s awfully late, so I think that you should just turn off your light and go to sleep,” J sighed. Exasperated. And said, “Oh, Mom! You’re so . . . mom-ish.” Well, yeah. It’s another somewhat slow week, I’ve gotta say. Everyone’s … [Read more…]
How about that for a gorgeous final weekend of summer? Even though my children and I are all driving each other crazy and I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine, the sunshine and fun we had this weekend make the end of summer so bittersweet.

What I really need is a couple of days poolside while the kids are tucked away in school. Dang it, can someone make that happen for me, please? All Week/Multiple … [Read more…]

I’ve been a blog slacker because I’ve run out of my summer energy. Most of our camps and activities have ended and the pool is less crowded with friends. My kids are hanging around the house more, creating crafty projects and games that leave stuff all over the house, asking to sit on my lap … [Read more…]
