I can’t believe I am typing this, but very soon…I shall be the mother of a 10 year-old. Double digits. A decade. Whoa. The realization my baby was no longer a baby was recently driven home when it came time to plan the party. My Miss A wanted the hallmark “I’m growing up, MOM” birthday…
Hooray! February is over! To celebrate, I feel like breaking out my munchkin tights and singing “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.” (OK, not really.) March can be crappy in its own moody, slushy, not quite spring kind of way…but the promise of green helps brighten the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m…
This December I got to do something I’ve long wanted to do…I got to spend part of the most wonderful time of the year in the most magical place on earth. Yep, I’m talking Christmastime at Disney World. Ever since my family got back from our first trip to Disney World three years ago, I’ve…

Yes, it’s Saturday. I understand. If I keep this up eventually I will need to do one of 2 things: change “Friday Five” to “Saturday Six,” or just get my sh*t together and post on Friday. 1. Vacations: After Lil’ G (our 2nd and last offspring) was born, the husband and I decided we wanted…
Let’s pretend not to notice how long it’s been since I wrote a FFF post, shall we? I’d like to say this is the start of a more regular blogging schedule, but the self-recrimination I’ll indulge in when I don’t manage to follow through may be too overwhelming. So I hope you enjoy today’s Friday…
It’s a new year, a new day – a fresh start, a blank page. Whether you have made resolutions or simply resolve never to make resolutions – may 2012 bring happiness to your life. Personally I have big plans for 2012, my calendar is full of major goals and lots of good intentions…but above all…
1. Hello Fall! I don’t care what the calendar says, or that technically, fall doesn’t start for more than a week…Miss A has been in school for almost a month, we lit our first bonfire since late spring over the weekend, it was cold enough to make me want to wear socks around the house,…
Miss A and her Best Buddy (also a Miss A) having a blast on the Fourth of July. I can’t believe that was over a month ago. Summer, as always, is flying by on sandy winged bare feet. Just as these two friends are holding tight to each other, I feel the urge to hold…
