So much time has passed that I don't expect more than crickets...but before I start bombarding you with posts writing once in a blue moon, I thought I'd check in. You may recall that I cried "abandon blog!" almost 3 years ago (actually, it was more like a slowly leaking row-boat). Frankly, I had lost … Continue reading Phoenix – Not Arizona, More Like in Harry Potter, and Also Not the Glen Campbell Song

Next Year I’m Going to Be on the Christmas Card
It has been three years since we have had a family picture on our Christmas card. It's cool, no one minds because the kid is quite amazing. But the reality is I can't stand to see myself in a photograph. Luckily you're not one of my friends I'm having coffee with because I really don't … Continue reading Next Year I’m Going to Be on the Christmas Card
Best Christmas Movies For Kids – Old School
When I was 7, I remember sitting on the sofa, vibrating with excitement, as I waited for Frosty the Snowman to come on television. The highlight of the month of December for me was the Rankin/Bass Christmas Specials. The grown-ups had It's A Wonderful Life, White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street, but we had … Continue reading Best Christmas Movies For Kids – Old School
I just can’t read one more stinking page! Best Books of 2014
Phew.... at least I got that off my chest. Once upon a time - before kid - before marriage - before my eyes were opened to the reality of other people needing me. Ugh. I used to devour one "meaningful" book after another. My brain knew no bounds, I just sucked it all in, and even … Continue reading I just can’t read one more stinking page! Best Books of 2014
I Get Free Chocolate but What You Can Get is SO Much Better!
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. I get bogged down by the day-to-day, and forget. Forget that some people never get a chance to live their dreams.

Twisted MixTape #41 – My Husband’s iPod Scares Me
One of my least favorite things is going into my husband's office. It is a freaking mess in there, but even more so he listens to.....pop music (she says with a whisper, cagey eyes looking to the side). My husband is so much more open-minded than I am. He'll mix up Cat Stevens and Daft … Continue reading Twisted MixTape #41 – My Husband’s iPod Scares Me
Weekly Recap – The No Clean Pants Rendition
It's 90 degrees outside today and I have no clean pants. I am wearing sweatpants, you know, the thick kind that keep you nice and BOILING ON A HOT SUMMER DAY? Yeah that kind. I also realized yesterday that my favorite yoga pants have a hole in the crotch. I'm washing them anyway, but I … Continue reading Weekly Recap – The No Clean Pants Rendition
