So, what’s going on with me? I’m not purposely neglecting you guys–I think it’s just that there’s so much going on and I’m just overwhelmed enough that I feel like I have absolutely nothing interesting to blog about. But that stops now! I’m cranking up the iTunes (so loving the new Genius playlist feature), ignoring [...]

One week and one day as the mother of a kindergartner, and this suburban hausfrau is already failing. Tomorrow is the first bake sale of the year… and I have nothing. Not even a store-bought cake to pass off as my own. I’ll just hand in the keys to my minivan now….

Not for two seconds!There’s this constant stream just pouring uncontrollably from her. My goal for today was to finish unpacking the apartment. Pie’s goal was to [...]

Yesterday, at the playground, I leaned back on the bench and put my hands behind my head as I gazed around… (You all know this is pure artistic license, as no mother of two ever gets to lean back on a bench and just gaze around. If–if–she gets to sit, she’s hunched over, ready to [...]

What time is it? Oy. It’s move day. The house is only half packed. If I start to wrap dishes in paper, will I wake the kids? What the HELL did I do to my foot? This week’s 10 miler was a mistake. Which podiatrist should I see? Maybe Adam’s right and we shouldn’t have [...]
