Once upon a time, long about a year ago, I looked at my son, and I thought he was perfect. Full of flaws within in his perfection, of course. That annoying stubborness (he obviously gets from his father), his overcautious fear of the world, and the fact no matter what he eats he manages to get […]

Coloring in the Calm
It’s time to fill you in on my latest obsession. Hello, grown-up coloring. I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about the new coloring books designed for adults and how trendy this stress-relieving hobby was becoming, but I blew it off. My hours were full enough; I didn’t need another distraction for my time. Plus, art was […]
Where the Boomers and the Millennials Meet Up
I get the Sunday paper every week. And I actually read it. Like, sit at the table, try desperately to ignore my children, and bury my nose in the newsprint so I can pretend to have some idea of what is happening in the rest of the world on the other six days of the […]
10 Old-School Values The Berenstain Bears Taught Us
This summer was a flurry of affection. When we weren’t busy swooning over the boss Black Widow, the kids and I were cultivating another intense love affair, one with four bears.

Last week was pretty crappy week, as weeks go. A perfect storm of a bunch of far-from-perfect situations, and let’s just say better times have rolled down in our home. We were prepping for my son to start 1st Grade today. In addition to panic attacking while trying to sort a online account for his milk […]
A Little Bit Closer
I’m an extremely goal-oriented person. This would be a win, if I ever actually reached my goals. I do not. No, rather, I spend my days longing achingly to slash satisfying lines through items on my to-do list, but mostly, I muddle about in the mire of bum-wiping requests and bribing children with treats at the […]
The Ultimate Back to Fall Gift Guide
It’s here, friends. It’s really here. All the endless back to school planning, shopping and panicking, days when we prayed the sunshine would never end, days when we prayed the sunshine would end, and secret stolen swoons over pumpkin soup recipes and cute ghost-themed cupcakes on Pinterest in the corners of August, FALL HAS ARRIVED.

Time to Trade In and Get Phone Fancy!
We had a very sorrowful day last week. My husband’s phone screen cracked. Together, we just sat and stared at it, as if we could some how will it back into wholeness. You see, we aren’t due for new phones until next summer, so he was looking at a whole year of a shattered view with an […]
