I’m a city girl. I make no apologies for it. I like the mall more than the forest..and my shoes are mostly inappropriate for hiking. Thank god. I am also against bugs. I have a hard time breathing in barns and consider dirty things pretty yucky. I eat a lot of salad. But once a…
I’ll admit right now that my kittens frustrate me. Please tell me I’m not alone in this. I’m so busy all day caring for three children, a house, and doing work, and just never sitting down and the whole time I have two kittens that are CRAZY and OMG they drive me nuts. I yell…
One month until school starts. One month. May I have an amen. I’m not a huge Summer fan. Days of no schedules. HEAT. HOLY HEAT. Endless pleas for snacks and food. SAND. HOLY SAND. So why is it my favorite pictures of the year are always taken in the Summer?
I finally gave in after two weeks of begging. Daily begging from the three slave-drivers. “The pool! The pool! When are we going to the POOL? We want to go to the pool. We are the only people on the face of this Earth who haven’t been to the pool this Summer!” Luckily June has…
It’s been all of…oh…eight days since school ended. I look in the mirror and see some whacked out crazy lunatic who nags her kids all day long. This crazy lady also follows behind them sweeping, wiping, cleaning, straightening, pushing in, picking up, serving, pouring, filling, folding, taking food order, cooking, playing, fluffing and at times…
Only 13 days until Summer starts. I know you all are jealous that I have 13 days. Oh you poor people who are done within the week. I’ll toast you with my wine next week after my kids get on the bus. Promise. Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids. I love to have…
This was one of the craziest Summers ever for us. Crazy good. With a baby taking 2 naps a day and 2 older girls with scheduled activities. We did not rest much. Last Summer was lazy – nothing scheduled…just a baby that arrived in July. We enjoyed doing a lot of nothingness. We played with…

I hate to admit that I find Summer depressing. All of these happy people with free time and no commitments. Spending time in their yards tending to flowers or an afternoon with a book and iced tea. Am I suppose to find Summer as easy and free as licking a Popsicle? I love my kids…
Dear Astrid, It is so bloody hot here and now I have this hot, sticky, cranky baby plastered on my hot, sticky, cranky body and it is taking me a land that I like to call crazy. Crazy with a capital C and that doesn’t rhyme with A – so stop it…seriously. Let’s start practicing…
Granted we had a busy first week of Summer. Tennis lessons, swimming lessons, baseball, visitors. By Friday night Eloise said to me “can we just do NOTHING tomorrow, please and not leave the house?” And 12 hours later it was followed by “I’m bored.” I took them to the playground today and they sat on…
School ends in 3 days. 3 days. I keep trying to keep a positive attitude going into it – but truthfully I am not looking forward to it so much. I think we all enjoy our structure, our daily predictability’s and our contact with other people besides each other. I also admit that I hate…
I admit I spit out my coffee a bit when I opened Michelle’s blog and saw snow in her gorgeous yard on Monday. As it was ironic I was just coming in to download these pictures. It hit 96 degrees on Monday and about 100% humidity. We do not have air conditioning, so the girls…
