Winter wonderland…in spring
Good thing we’ve got plenty of bread and milk (and beer and wine).

5 steps to the perfect birthday party for a seven year old girl
Step 1: Issue invitations
Let the birthday girl invite whomever she wants, as long as you’ve heard her mention the proposed invitees’ names before. That means you must have at least a mailing address, email address or phone number for all invitees. If she can’t muster up contact information, then I’d question how well she [...]

The luckiest mommy in the world
Dear Oliver,
Tomorrow is your first birthday.
Nope, I can’t believe you’re already one. But, as I’ve commented lately to friends, considering that I spent most of my pregnancy with you in a state of shock, it’s not surprising that I still look at you and shake my head in utter disbelief that you’re actually here.
Sometimes I [...]

She’s got a way about her
Dear CJ,
Happy birthday! You turned four on Saturday, but by no means is that your biggest accomplishment of the past year. Your metamorphosis since your last birthday is nothing short of incredible.
Sure, you talk. A lot. Perhaps too much sometimes. You go pee in the potty. You write your name and draw recognizable pictures. You [...]

It’s Christmas Eve, and I’m still not finished
As John Bender would say, “Not even close, bud.”
I haven’t wrapped a damn thing. But I’ve got a good reason.
My children – well, two of them anyway – have reached the age where presents cannot be wrapped and left under the tree in peace.
Everything must be picked up and shaken and used as building blocks [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
I try not to put too much pressure on myself at the holidays.
We stay at home. Want to come visit us? Great! Want us to get on a plane or in a car and come visit you? Are you MAD?! Not even if you bought plane tickets for all five of us. Sorry.
We make what [...]

Happy holidays to all, and to one of you, a Wii and Wii Fit
Thank you so very much to everyone who submitted entries to my Wii/Wii Fit giveaway.
I haven’t commented on any of them, but I’ve read them all – posts, comments, emails – at least twice. I’ve been absorbed by your stories and been touched by your struggles. I wish I had a dozen Wii/Wii Fit combos [...]

Outfits that will never be worn again, part 2
Now with much-requested pictures of the bridesmaids dresses…
Front and back, with a view of the French twist for Liz’s benefit:
And a full-length shot in color, with a tiny peek at the toe of one shoe:
So they’re not haute couture, and they are worthy of an apology (although, Liberal Banana’s comment – ouch!), but I’ve seen [...]

Thankful for three
I’m thankful for so many things this year, especially given the state of the union (which is most definitely NOT strong). Sure, I’ve got plenty to worry about, but there’s so much that’s going very well.
We’re gainfully employed and able to pay our bills. We’re all healthy (and we have health insurance too). We have [...]
