Oh! I forgot to tell you about an encounter at the park yesterday–some lady was oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over how pretty M is and she exclaimed, “What kind of a night did you two have when you made her!?!” Wow, that’s super-awkward. Especially when you’re standing there next to your parents. We just smiled and … [Read more…]
I was so busy making sure that you had plenty to do this week that I didn’t get a chance to tell you about the rest of the roadtrip. The second day was just fine, thank you. We took a swim in the hotel pool and then headed to Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh, North … [Read more…]
With all of this time off from school, you could always try a little overnight adventure. Kids are quite easily thrilled with a trip, especially if it involves a stay in a hotel. A new bed, elevators to ride, and especially an indoor pool–woo, hoo! We’ve had success with Priceline many times. It’s especially great … [Read more…]
I can’t actually connect to my blog while driving, but I DID scribble on a piece of paper. Because I am a freak. Of course, I couldn’t look at the piece of paper, because focusing on anything in any way (reading, map-looking, needle work) makes me car sick. I’m actually pretty useless in a car. … [Read more…]
So the nice ladies at the Momxchange blog said all sorts of lovely things about me, which was too kind of them. You should check them out. Among other things, they are much more likely to notice things like shopping opportunities for mommies–as I’ve mentioned before, I am not a shopper. I’ve also started contributing … [Read more…]
I struck out at dinner again last night. Lately every main-dish recipe I try seems to be a tragic failure. This is probably because I keep trying new super-healthy and vegetarian items, because that’s what I’d like us all to be eating. So, I attempted a Sweet Potato and Lentil Stew. Part of what made … [Read more…]
I know that it was rainy and gloomy all day, but. . . it felt kind of good out. It felt like warm spring rain, like April showers that will bring May flowers. Plus, I always remind myself that this English-style weather is excellent for our complexions. In fact, when I was in high school, … [Read more…]
I’m quite proud of myself because after barely managing to scrape together that playground list, I’ve written myself directions for the future. . . now I can update it in 13 easy-to-follow steps! Yay, me.  And 13 is my lucky number. So I’m just feeling good all over. I’ve also made it easier to find … [Read more…]
I felt like I needed to update the Theater stuff because I keep hearing about more school plays. There are a ton this weekend. So, I’ll let you know about the other weekend events tomorrow, but it was pretty much unmanageable to try to get it all in one ginormous post. I’d share some clever … [Read more…]
