Tweet The girls have been playing school a lot lately. Eloise shuts her bedroom door but I can still hear them talking quietly inside. Eloise has the big desk because she is the teacher and she has two little boxes set upon the floor that Esther and Astrid sit at and do their work. …
Tweet Isn’t everyone excited that we only have 12 more days of political ads? Seriously, I think political ads and prescription drug commercial should be banned because if my kids aren’t having to listen to a candidate berate and lie about another candidate then they have to listen about some guys erectile dysfunction and why…
Tweet I love taking my kids to sporting events! For example we go to a baseball game and they ask why no one is running for a touchdown. We go to a football game and they ask when that guy down there is going to pitch the ball. They take after their mother. I…
Tweet Do you ever have the most amazing and happy and fabulous and life-changing experience ever and then something comes crashing in at the end and you just want to hit delete delete delete until it could not possibly exist. And then you are just kind of pissed off about the whole thing. But…
Tweet I love hearing how people met – whether through a mutual friend, at church, at a bar, on a run, the toilet paper aisle at Target…or even on an airplane. Jed and I have a pretty unique story. He was living in Connecticut and I was living in Minnesota – and we happened…
Tweet If you follow me on Facebook you know that my 25th high school reunion is next weekend. I’ve been posting little clues – like my senior picture. I’ve received a lot of very jealous emails saying that I was a master with my Aqua Net and why was their hair never that big or…
Tweet I used to vlog a lot. But then my children figured out how to unlock the closet door and free themselves and it was very hard for me to find any quiet time to vlog. And then Summer happened. Oh Summer. So with the kids back in school and Astrid now in preschool…
Tweet I won’t lie. As much as Summer can drive me crazy, this Summer has been one of the best ones ever. I don’t know if it’s because my kids are getting older or because I chose to work a lot less or maybe because I did enough ab work that I felt comfortable in…
Tweet I don’t have memories of large family gatherings for Thanksgiving. We moved away from family when I was just a little girl so most of the time it was just the four of us. Sometimes we would gather with friends and sometimes my mom would invite someone over who didn’t have anywhere to go….
Tweet You will find me over at Four Plus An Angel today. I was interviewed on the now world famous Hot Seat. Turns out a lot of women have many, many burning questions about fashion. I wish I had the answers. I wish I could take you all shopping to Paris and Milan. Hell..New…
Tweet Today for vlogtalk I am talking to you about something very important and serious – the time you take out to spend with just your partner. The dates, the walks, the quiet moments alone. The time you need away from the kids. We carve out at least two times per month for a quality…
Tweet I heard the other night on the news that we should consider a “less structured Summer.” I need a moment. As a stay at home mom, who does love her children more than anything in the whole wide world, I frankly cannot handle a less structured Summer. Now I was a working mom at…
Tweet The more time I spend with kids, the more my palate suffers. Fine French food has nothing on frozen chicken nuggets. Why go out for Thai food when you can make Kraft dinner? Bake fresh bread when Wonder is still in business? Somebody save me. Don’t worry – six more days until wine o’clock…
Tweet The vlog this week will showcase my amazing garden. I have friends with gorgeous gardens. Like her and her and her. But I think mine wins hands down. You’ll skip off to the garden center after watching this. Or drink wine. Whichever is easier for you.
Tweet I need you to know where I spend most of my time…it’s nowhere in particular..just inside my head. This space is massive. Eloise gets mad at me because I talk to myself all of the time. I say “oh honey, I only verbalize 10% of it.” Eloise tells me I’m crazy. Perhaps accurate.
Tweet I am joining up with VlogTalk today. I was suppose to write about smoking for The Red Dress Club. But every post I started ending up with something that no one in my family really needed to read. It’s good to self-edit at times. I missed that gene, so give me some back pats…
Tweet Joining in Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop again for the vlog option – introducing the key players in my blog…cats, kids, delivery men, sunglasses..you know the usual suspects… It’s a pleasure to formally introduce everyone..
