Hello! Broadcasting live from yet ANOTHER sick day at our house, with both kids home, coughing and sneezing. Some folks might get frustrated that their plans (large and small) have to change for another day, so that they may look after their snotty offspring. But oh no. Not here. I feel lucky to be here, still in my pajamas ...
This is not a happy post. But it is hopeful. And hopeful is the best we can do. *** I love home decorating, especially covering my walls with meaningful pieces, as 511 suggests. But in all honesty, I am not yet in a place in my life where I can collect a lot of real art; I have my ...
I am constantly bemoaning the fact that I can't get my son to watch any TV. He refuses. I am not looking for him to be television obsessed, but it would be nice if he could sit for 15 minutes and watch Elmo. At this age, my daughter would have spent 3 hours watching DJ Lance if ...

This weekend was the first that the fierce cold really whipped me in the bones. It has been dancing around, and gotten close, but this weekend it hit me, and got under my skin. We spent most of the time holed up at home, in our cozy fuzzy living room. When we went outside for some brief ...
This morning was bitter cold once again. I had to drive my daughter to school, which meant I had to bring the baby along, which meant a lot of bundling. For me, it was a cashmere sweater, topped with a huge cardigan under my parka. For the baby it was a long sleeve shirt, courds, a sweater, ...
Do you ever will things to happen? My husband and I do this with TV shows and movies sometimes; it has kind of become a thing and he is definitely the master. You know, you think of a movie that you would really like to watch and then BAM it is on the guide the next ...
This past week has been a blur of sick days. Today is another one (more on that, later.) I am endlessly grateful that it has just been some lingering respiratory things and maybe a touch of the stomach flu, as it is almost the one year anniversary of our week in the hospital with a sick 2 month ...
