Somewhere in the lonely days of early motherhood, I found my way to our local chapter of MOMS Club International. Sure, there was the inherent initial awkwardness of finding your way in a pre-established group that you are new to. But after a few months, I found my way to some of the sweetest and […]
Emily Post
Emily Post was one classy broad. A proponent of appropriate social conduct, manners, and the like, her book Etiquette rocked the charts in the 1920s. There is now an institute in her honor that works to define propriety in our modern times. I am so old school, I know, but the very trendy current lack […]
Boys and Girls are Different
Elyse, channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn… They just are. My children are only 9 mo. and 2 yrs., but I can already see it. True, this is in no way a scientific observation, as I am comparing only one child against another, both from the same family, but…My husband and I already notice behavioral differences […]
An Overnight Trip
Not sure this will hold all of the pills I will need for 24 hrs., but you get the gist In theory, vacations seem like a good idea. For me, however, the mirage of rest and relaxation doesn’t really compensate for the sheer stress of packing alone (forget even kid-wrangling once on said vacation). This […]
Party in the Crib!
There comes a time in many young lives when one learns to stand up before learning to sit back down. Major party-in-the-crib time for my 9 mo. old daughter. That is, until her legs get tired and she gets grouchy 😉
Just Relax and Breathe Deeply
Won’t lie–in general I’m a huge non-fan of taking children along to appointments. It’s stressful, time-consuming and usually ends with at least 2 of us in tears. Even dragging them along to their pediatrician appointments seems excessive at times. Unfortunately, with no preschool yet on the scene, we are blessed to be able to rock […]
Bow Giveaway!
IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!!! If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know how I feel about hairbows. I would chance to say that it is one of the top reasons I’m happy to have a little girl. They are just SO DARN CUTE. The only minor hiccup, of course, is that […]
Picture People: The Monday Review
I love love love pictures of my children. What red-blooded parent doesn’t? Shortly after my son was born (okay, fine while he was still in utero–I’m psycho. I stalked, researched, and compared all of the photography joints in the area pre-birth), we landed at Picture People. In general, I’m fan. One of my favorite past […]
The Ice Hotel
What is wrong with me?! I have always wanted to go to The Ice Hotel. This makes no sense, as I hate being cold and I especially hate being wet. But I am just fascinated. The diligence of this abode’s creators wows me–I become grouchy enough just trying to create a livable space in non-icy/potential-to-melt […]
Soap Opera Star
So, so many times I envy the life of a soap opera characters. Aside from the obvious pluses of perfect bodies, gorgeous clothing, and no apparent need to ever actually go to work, despite being the CEO of some company (as it seems at least 2 out of 3 of the characters are), there are other benefits. […]
