Happiness can be an elusive thing. It is a wonderful thing, and it would be great to be happy all the time. But I know I struggle with this because life is, well, hard. I don’t really jump with giddiness over the never ending pile of dishes in my sink, and I think I will […]
Golden Oldies
The lyrics of Eric Church’s “Springsteen” get me every time; “Funny how a melody sounds like a memory”. Who isn’t this true for? You start hearing a certain tune and a flood of memories of a particular time/place hits you like a ton of bricks. SourceFrankie Valli so had it going on… My late mother was […]

I Lit My Kitchen on Fire

My Favorite Someecards: The Monday Review

Someecards’ tagline “When you care enough to hit send” is a treat in itself. The site generates their own cards, but also has […]
Cotton-headed Ninny-muggins
So perhaps I’m a season too early, but I love, love the movie Elf. It’s ridiculous. It’s funny. It’s ridiculously funny. The most laughable parts are in the beginning, which works out well, since apparently my capacity to stay awake for longer than 20 minutes into any movie was expelled from my body simultaneous to the birth […]

A Mom, A Cart, A Mission
It happened. Really, it did. I found myself in a grocery store without my children. I know, I’ll wait while you recover from the shock…okay now? In truth, I was a scary, scary force to behold. The speed with which I can whip out errands sans the little ones is awe-inspiring. Years of babies screaming in […]
