My film skills are notoriously bad. Flipping the camera upside down, shaking the screen, forgetting it’s on and recording the carpet for 15 minutes…I do it all. Maybe someday I will get my crap together and treat you to a montage of this sweet skill. While sadly, my lack of talent precludes me from a […]
The Bud Vase
There is no shortage of rituals that began around here after my mom died last year. There is The Bracelet, which I filled you in on before. There is the fact that I keep Yankee in business by having this bizarre need to burn a candle whenever I am home for longer than a millisecond. […]
A Watched E-mail Pot Never Boils
It’s insane, really. Or maybe inane. Or maybe both. I must cumulatively check my e-mail about 30 times a day. What the heck am I looking for?? What could possibly be so very important to a 30-something suburbian mom of two under 5? Nothing, let me tell you–NOTHING. In my defense, snatching up my very […]

The VonTrapps Take Downingtown
This past Sunday we were hit with a surprise nasty little snowstorm. I say “surprise” because while the snow was well-predicted, after so many false calls for storms the past few years, no one around here believes the weather people any more. In any case, we were leaving church. I in our beater Honda Civic […]
My Christmas List
Gosh, yes, we all know that what I really want most for Christmas is more cuddly time by that gorgeous Christmas tree with my family…or with a book and a hot chocolate while I put in ear plugs and pretend I can’t hear my children. Same difference, really. But in any case, if we were […]
The Christmas Win
Aiming Low is putting up with me again and letting me toss around all the reasons I am declaring a WIN this holiday season. There’s a little teaser below, but please head over and check out the whole scoop. You know if I am writing something in between shoving my way through the massive lines […]
A Little Seasonal Magic and a Whole Lot of Funny
As I sit here, buried under piles of wrapping paper and unsigned Christmas cards while scowling at the UPS man for failing to deliver the packages I ordered yesterday (gosh, why even feel tickled with myself over the free expedited shipping promo code I found??), it has occurred to me that I may have already […]
Grandma’s Swiss Chicken Casserole
Let’s be honest. Asking me to cook? Generally a poor idea. Very poor. But when BlogHer and Campbell’s asked me to whip up a little something with one of their cooking soups, it was obviously Meant To Be, because as it turns out, the one recipe I make well and enjoy making features Campbell’s Cream […]
