I Was CONN-ed
Hi, everyone! Finally have a spare moment to post (spare as in: only while spooning baby food into tiny tot’s mouth), so here I am. It’s been quiet here lately. Quiet NOT as in, “oh boy, this is SO peaceful and relaxing!” No. Quiet as in, I’ve been going about my normal business of handling 1,094 tasks per day, but nothing noteworthy for intrepid observers to read about. And with all of the snow and frigid cold of the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit like this in the house: SixPackMommy in her natural habitat. Since we had last Monday off from school, I decided to take the…

Snow Big Deal
It’s January. In the Northeast. Temperatures dropping. It was inevitable that, eventually, we’d get it. You know. The S word. SNOW. Yup.

Go Elf Yourself
Sorry for the lengthy delay in posting, folks! No, I haven’t gone into hiding. Though sometimes, I’d like to. From my endless daily list of chores & responsibilities, that is. I blame the germs. Since Thanksgiving, we’ve had a series of child illness- mainly in the form of a never-ending cold that swept through the younger set here. I’m talking endless- several trips to the pediatrician, too many boxes of Kleenex to count, oodles of nebulizer breathing treatments, saline drops, nose-boogie-sucking devices, etc. etc, So the few minutes of quote “mommy downtime” that would normally be devoted to posting dissolved like the fine mist of a… nebulizer treatment. Anyhoo… My…
