I know it’s my blog day, but my eyes are bleary from work, you know, the real work, the kind that involves earning money and the kind that involves raising my two children. My two children who are equally amazing and frustrating these days. My daughter who is trying her damnedest to add in extra [...]

I’m supposed to be making stuffing right now, but I’ve already made the cranberry sauce, two types of muffin (the cranberry pumpkin is delicious!), and prepared a strata that is now sitting in the fridge (since Thanksgiving is all family this year, we’re having a couple of friends over for breakfast in the morning and [...]

I bet you can’t tell that I’m working right now. No, really, I am. Okay, I’m not. I’m blogging for all of you, my not-quite-adoring public (who are you people, anyway?). I’ve been having these awful Bambi moments. You know, the deer in the headlights who’s frozen and doesn’t know which way to move? I [...]

Well, we survived another Halloween (photos posted). I imagine it will only get worse and worse, but this year was not a pretty year given Doodles’s competing all-greed for things chocolate vs. his all-fear of people in masks. Last year I took Doodles and Pie on a hayride at our local farm stand. Oh, how [...]
