Today was the first snowfall here on Long Island, and it was sort of unexpected. Well, we knew we’d be getting something, but that something ended up being a few more inches than the dusting most people were anticipating. What I love about the news these days is the drama over weather. I’m not talking […]
Urine Trouble
This is one of those stories where you think you’ve set your standard of bizarre child behavior low enough, only to be blindsided by an unexpected “Who DOES that??” sort of experience. In this case, it involves urine, because kids. And I choose to share it because there will a small minority of you that […]
Lost In (Con)text
We attended a family reunion in PA this past weekend; while it was a fun time, the drive home that became the most memorable(?) part. This story is a hilarious cautionary tale of what not to do when you think you’re harassing your niece via text. It will also be evidence of how truly odd my family […]
Unlocking The Next Life Level
16 years. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 16 years now, and for every one of those 16 years, I have had at least one child home with me. Sometimes several. But always at least one. Even during the pre-K half-day stints, there was still a kid home with me for at least […]
Just Keep Swimming…
The summer’s flying by, & we’ve spent most of it either at home or at the town pool. As I look back on our last five or six summers, I can probably say we’ve spent them doing the same exact thing. But THIS summer? A total game changer, baby! First, here’s the deal with our […]
Amazing Moms Book
Mother’s Day is soon approaching, so chances are that you’ll find yourself sporting a macaroni necklace & eating burnt toast made with childlish love as you attempt to nurse a wilting school-plant-sale geranium back to life. Or, maybe you’ll be spending your Mother’s Day up early on the sidelines of a peewee soccer game, because […]
If The Bit Fits…
So yes, I’m obviously way behind the curve. Fitbits are so 200… I don’t even know how old they are, because I live under a parental rock. Yup, I’m that person. I’m perpetually behind the times. I was the last to know that Bruce Willis was dead the entire time in The Sixth Sense. I couldn’t wait […]
Cookie Capers
This is a cookie. Well, technically it WAS a cheap, no-frills cookie, but now it’s a stealthy dental weapon…. because the creamy vanilla filling was meticulously scraped out of two of these cookies & replaced by the 8 year old, an evil genius*. *or avid YouTube-watcher, since apparently this prank has been making the rounds […]
Diamonds In The Rough
Happy New Year and all that jazz! I’m not a big fan of resolutions, mainly because as someone who fights a tendency towards perfectionism, I used to go overboard on them. I’d make resolutions, but along the lines of: Clean & organize every single corner of my house. Always. Work out every single day. Eat […]
Review: Photowall Print Canvas
Remember back in the good ‘ole days when you’d take pictures with your camera, drop off the film, & pay for actual prints to be made? If you’re like me, your phone is crammed chock-full of pictures that never see the light of day, because you’re waiting to use them “one day”. I’ve always loved […]
