In my early days of babies and blogging, I chanced upon Lisa Codina of Bites for Babies. Finding her was a blessing for me. Lisa is everything I’m not–together, creative, and likes to cook! When I saw the simple recipes she published, I would think, “I could do this!” (Huge for me, I know). She […]
One Step in Front of the Other
I feel dishonest of sorts. You see, while I have shared about the challenge Kindergarten has presented to us, I have failed to tell you how it has utterly, totally slayed me. I slam out my mornings in a vigor known only to moms terrified of misstepping the intricate school system and then, by the […]
Book Club Kicks Off!
I love to read, and chances are, if you’ve read some of my blog posts or ever spent more than five minutes with me in person, I’ve probably already filled your ear blathering on about my books. So you can imagine how excited I was when hanging out with the lovely Carrie (truly, she’s gorgeous) of Normal […]
The Birthday Bath
I would be lying if I said this whole starting school business wasn’t slaying me. After I finished supporting the Kleenex industry on the first day, I did figure on a general schedule upheaval. I assumed my son would be more tired than usual. I did not, however, count on how emotionally rocked we would all be […]
My Dearest Summer
My Dearest Summer, I’ll be honest, love, I thought about not writing you. You are busy saying goodbye to your fans, and who else really cares about how we spent our last three months, anyway? But then I remembered that sometimes it really isn’t about anyone else. It’s just about you and me, and we had a […]
The Month in which I Shrunk
Let me introduce you to a gal. Her name is Meredith. She is a rather tired-looking 35. Most of her clothes can physically be wrangled onto her body, but fit remains a negligible qualifier. She has two young kids and this blog thing to tend to, so she’s allowed it to slide. Except, then she could no […]
When Margaret Was Born
In my very particular world of parents with young kids who maintain a intense-to-insane dedication to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, the event of the century went down last week. Daniel Tiger’s little sister Margaret was born. PBS pulled out all the stops for this one. Somehow, my kiddos, who exclusively fan-crush on Daniel through Netflix, still managed to […]
The Sobby Mom at the Bus Stop
I was going to be The Cool Mom. You know, the one who rejoices when her kids head off to school so she has a slice of time to herself? It was going to be sweet; I had it all planned out for about six years (my son is only 5, by the way). School bus […]
Possession at Its Sweetest
Once upon a time in this blogging world I met the sweetest soul a momma could hope for; Kathy blogs at My Dishwasher’s Possessed, and one of my proudest achievements of BlogU is that I got to give this dear gal an embracing hug! As the title of her blog suggests, Kathy is fun and she is real. […]
The Okay Depressed
It was a sour Monday morning. Nothing was sitting right, and I was exhausted from a full weekend. The task of caring for my kids AND brushing their teeth? Unseemably daunting. Throw in a laundry list of errands, laundry itself, and very busy evening of activities to cap off our day, and I wanted to quit […]
