I have talked before about being able to see a light at the end of the kid tunnel I am currently residing in. It is there, and while it is still only a pinprick of light, I find myself daydreaming […]
If your family is like ours, you have been battling virus’s and illness all winter. I am starting to put some belief into those stories about a virus taking down the entire population. We have been sick for almost 6 […]
Balancing working from home (virtually full-time) with part-time daycare and school pick ups can get a little overwhelming. These past few weeks have been especially difficult to navigate, especially with spring break, a sick pre-schooler, and a sick ME! It […]
This year was supposed to be all about simplifying. It was about cleaning my cupboards, asking for help, and focusing on what I do best. And now, 3 weeks into the year, I am wondering if I should have chosen a different […]
It has been 6 (maybe more) months since I have run. It has been 6 (maybe more) months since I have done any real exercise really. I mean, we moved – that’s exercise! All that lifting and packing! And we […]
Oh thank god. School started again today. I hate to complain, I really do. I understand how fortunate I am to have these lovely children, I do, but after 2 and a half weeks . . . they didn’t seem […]
We are a day away from the kids going back to school and we are DONE. D. O. N. E. We are failing as parents today. We are tired, we are frustrated and we want to get back to work […]

They say “start as you mean to go on” Not sure who “they” is, but it sounds good. The start of a new year is a blank canvas for us to create the content of the days ahead, a defined […]
The flu came to our house today, and it arrived with a vengeance. I hate the stomach flu. I never got over my gag reflex and I still have to close my eyes and plug my nose and hum to […]
So yes, we were the lucky, lucky winners of the TomTom Map Paradise contest that ran this spring. We won an all inclusive 2 weeks in St. Lucia, and the chance to help them map paradise. We finally connected with […]
Okay, okay. . . I know Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy wasn’t literary genius . . but it was a pretty hawt read for us busy, exhausted moms who just want to imagine a simpler time […]
Oh my. Already 50 posts in our new life. Plus the 40 something from our old life . . . Time for some reflection, I think, especially since I am currently away & lounging in the sunshine! 1. I look […]
