I’ve been a bit rough of late–rougher than usual. Sickness, demanding work schedules and general lack of ability to manage this life gig have definitively booted showers into the “possible” category and well, let’s just say the playroom is temporarily off limits until some form a trail can be blazed through the horrifying clutter. Yet […]
Packing for a Ninja Convention
I am unarguably the worst packer in the world. Seriously, I win the title. When it comes to planning a trip, I rock. I can nail an agenda and a to-stash-in-carry-on list like a boss. I plot and scheme details of a vacation with such fervor, travel agents swoon with envy (this last part is entirely […]
Check One for the Family TV Milestone
True confession: I’m 36 years old and I don’t know how to use our TV. When kids came into the picture, screen time quickly became the same Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD played on repeat on while Mommy stole showers or fought her way through burning yet another dinner. By the time Mickey’s antics were outgrown, the […]
Book Club Takes a Trip to The Lake House
My gal, Carrie of Normal Level of Crazy has been rocking the BUSY scene of late, tackling the uber-fun task of moving to a new house. While we all send her virtual hugs and welcome fruit baskets, I’m tickled to have her back and sharing about our virtual book club’s latest read! I know so […]
I Want Them to Know Her
Four years ago today, my mom died. When she first left, I relied heavily on this blog as a therapy. My readers, my patient, kind readers, let me say the words I needed to say, often over and over as the processing gave way to bits of healing. There are many reasons I give thanks for […]
Spark a Mind with Early Learning
This post was sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. We are fast leaving the days of early childhood education behind us. My son is happily settled into the 1st grade, and my daughter is in her last year at our beloved preschool. I’ll be sad to bid the sweetness of these early […]
A Day for the Kids at Woodmere Art Museum
Raise your hand if you’ve ever scratched your head on the weekend, wondering over a cool activity to do with your kids that didn’t involve seeing yet another movie or building a fort for the upteenth time in row. Nothing against forts, we love them in these parts. They just tend to lose their luster […]
Rare Disease Day: With Hope, The Odds Don’t Matter
Friends, I’d like to introduce you to someone who is going to take your breath away with her story: please meet Heather Von St. James. In 2005, Heather was diagnosed with pleural mesolthelioma and given 15 months to live. She had just given birth to her beautiful daughter, Lily Rose, three months prior. You can […]
Top Ten Reasons YOU Need to Attend BlogU
For the past three years, I’ve been hanging out in a pretty cool place: the behind-the-scenes corners of the BlogU conference. It’s not cool because it’s pretty–there are too many dirty sweatpants-clad Google hangout meetings for that claim. It’s not cool because it’s blissfully organized and runs like a well-oiled machine–it’s only our third year! […]
Show the Flu Who’s Boss with Pedialyte
I’m almost scared to type these words, lest I spook some evil lurking flu spirit, but so far this year, we have not plagued by the nasty virus in this house. Wa-hoo! I know, knock on wood. Yet the horror of what we went through last year still runs fresh enough that we maintain big-time preparedness mode. […]
