There are a couple of factors combining to make this Mother’s Day Not The Most Fun. My sister and I took a vote and decided that if we could scratch one day from the calendar this year, it would be Mother’s Day. As it is the first one we are going motherless and grandmotherless, we’re […]
10,000 Steps
10,000? Really?! I have been wearing a pedometer for most of my adult life. There have been times when it has been far easier than others to score the daily goal of racking up 10,000 steps. The thing is, regardless of how difficult it is for me to log this mileage, I know I need […]
Healthy TV Viewing?
My unsolicited thoughts on why TV watching is healthy for adults: Enjoy a program together 🙂 Watching a TV show is awesome for couples to do together. If your lives are in any way over-hectic, it can be a really good thing for us to have a dedicated time to plop ourselves down on the couch and […]
The Pediatrician’s Office Revisited
In short: her ears were fine 😉 Will this become a series?? I had posted a few months ago about my infinite success in taking my kids to my daughter’s 6 mo. well visit. As you might guess, we had some further pretty gorgeous Mom of the Year moments this time around as well. The […]
I Am Jealous of My Son’s Eyelashes
I am. They are full, dark and long. When he gets a really good cry going, they positively glisten and become the embodiment of ethereal beauty. Where did these lashes come from? Is my 2 yr. old secretly dosing Latisse during naptime? If so, where does he get it from? I always thought that 3 yr. old […]
Not a Big Fan of Change
I am, oh I am… I readily admit it–I don’t handle change well–at all. Kind of into having things safe and secure and not adding any drama to my world. But I do try my best to roll with things b/c I know that life is just full of rocking–wanted or not. I don’t think […]
MOMS Club International: The Monday Review
Somewhere in the lonely days of early motherhood, I found my way to our local chapter of MOMS Club International. Sure, there was the inherent initial awkwardness of finding your way in a pre-established group that you are new to. But after a few months, I found my way to some of the sweetest and […]
Emily Post
Emily Post was one classy broad. A proponent of appropriate social conduct, manners, and the like, her book Etiquette rocked the charts in the 1920s. There is now an institute in her honor that works to define propriety in our modern times. I am so old school, I know, but the very trendy current lack […]
Boys and Girls are Different
Elyse, channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn… They just are. My children are only 9 mo. and 2 yrs., but I can already see it. True, this is in no way a scientific observation, as I am comparing only one child against another, both from the same family, but…My husband and I already notice behavioral differences […]
An Overnight Trip
Not sure this will hold all of the pills I will need for 24 hrs., but you get the gist In theory, vacations seem like a good idea. For me, however, the mirage of rest and relaxation doesn’t really compensate for the sheer stress of packing alone (forget even kid-wrangling once on said vacation). This […]
