Mere Eyesore, or Frightening Hazard?
We’re tidying up for a dinner tonight. If the house becomes presentable before the afternoon birthday party, I’ll try to come up with something fun to share with you.

The Dark Side of Spring (with an update)
All hail spring! Wasn’t yesterday wonderful? I was volunteering for our after school program, and when that was over, there were tons of us hanging out at the playground.  We tried to head for home, but M started playing with a neighbor, and when J saw that it was a gathering including several kids and … [Read more…]
Pictures & Circus
Another fabulous day! I hope that you’re all having fun playing outside! Yesterday, I spent an exhausting morning at nursery school because I was the official class picture day helper.  I remember that once, before I had children, I went along to a birthday party with my sister and niece and I couldn’t believe how … [Read more…]

Me and My Weekend
We spent Friday night at my sister’s. I always say that if I had three times as much money and ten times as much personal style and I didn’t have children running my house, I’d have a house just like hers. Everything is carefully chosen and beautiful. But I have to say, we did provide … [Read more…]
Miscellaney
Friday was just one of those days for me. It started with the morning bike ride, which turned out to be too cold. Also, how discouraging do you think it is that my 5-year-old questions my ability to find her nursery school? I have a tremendously poor sense of direction (which, if you’ve read the … [Read more…]
More Than 20 Different Local Things that You & Your Family Can Do This Weekend
It looks like the weather is going to be pretty good, too. Although, in case you’re wondering, it turns out that it was a little bit too chilly to bike to nursery school this morning, which we discovered mid-bike ride. Don’t forget that Rumpelstiltskin and The Little Mermaid are playing this weekend–for details, check out … [Read more…]
