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 […]
Back to School and Back to Sleep!
I’m a big fan of sleep. I like it. Of course, I don’t get enough of it; so I spend a large portion of my time distance-worshiping it, but that’s okay. Gives me something to dream about, right? Largely, I have been successful at passing my love of sleep onto my kiddos. While naps have […]
The Summer of Rainbow Rowell
In most books, I find something that I like. It might be the uniqueness of the plot, the strength of one of the characters, the time period in which the story is set…endless possibilities of cool attractions a book can hold. At the beginning of this summer, though, it had been a while since I […]
I Sat Outside
I have gone on before, at length, about how much I crush on our deck. It truly is a lovely place. I often consider moving in out back. Maybe I won’t dramatically dismantle and relocate our bed, but I could set up a nice cot or something. Maybe get a sweet lava lamp and milk crate […]
Running with Melissa
My son is brilliant. I love the way his mind works, jumping from one cool discovery to another. I love his strength, the way he’s risen through adversity and allowed it to make him stronger. From the first summer of his life when his colic was so severe I questioned whether either of us would make it […]
#Underwareness on the Move!
You know how marriage is made out of the tough stuff of life? The middle-of-the-night kids waking up, getting stuck with trash duty, hanging with your spouse through times when they need more support…from their underwear?? I know, I KNOW. My husband is a saint… It’s safe to say that some parts of me adjusted less […]
