I mentioned on Monday that this has been a really unusual time for my little family, filled with hills and valleys (I likened it to a mountain, before, but I will make it simple, tonight). I wrote about how on Sunday we did things like Build Bears, eat popovers and lose our son in the mall ...
This morning, after a full week of feeling sick and sleeping in, I got up with the kids. Except, I wasn't quite ready to get up, nor was I feeling my best, so I decided that while we were "up" we could snuggle on the couch watching music videos for a good hour before starting our ...
Below, before the three asterisks, is what I wrote early this morning. I took some time off from writing this more emotional post and so, instead, I posted the story of a dance party. Then, my parents took my daughter to see her new favorite movie, I picked up the cake for my husband's birthday tomorrow ...
I am the first person to admit the following two facts: 1. I am not at all in touch with today's current music scene. I know about Sia's "Chandelier" because of an SNL skit sent to me by a friend, I have heard of only about half of the mainstream artists and know very little of ...

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, ...
Two kids home on a Monday morning. #sickday Two different viruses, one additional overlapping one. It's awesome. Two stops to two fast food restaurants at 10am for throat soothing ice cream. McDonalds ice cream machine was broken. A Frosty remedied the situation. A lot of this. Leading to a little jealousy, So a little of this ...
Music is such a big part of my being. Last night, my new band had it's first big gig. Two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, and a microphone for me to sing into. It was exhilarating. I got to dance in wedge heels and belt out tunes from John Pryne and Led Zeppelin and Sublime and be awed, ...
Today was another full day of soaking rain. After I picked up my daughter at 1 we kept busy drawing in the sunroom, building with Magnetic tiles from loving "aunts" and making a run to the drive-through for some donuts; Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. But as four o'clock set in, and the rain continued to pelt mercilessly on our roof ...
So, I am going to be, in the very near future, writing an extensive post on the ray of sparkling sunshine that is Lindsay Docherty of Lindsay Docherty Photography. I will share with you, then, how she jumped on the bed with us, and joined us in an impromptu dance party and even cleaned up ...
