Because everyone needs a stable update.
Well the last three days have been a blur. I’m trying desperately to get my bearings this morning, but we have a two hour delay. This means my morning won’t really start until 10am. Friday The Snow Queen opened. The kids did fantastic and it was a beautiful show. Saturday was more of the same. […]
My parents should have made my middle name “Stress Case” — because that best describes my personality when life gets busy. I have a weird addiction to challenge, so it’s not altogether an unwelcome nickname. I’d much rather be busy and stressed and then bored and depressed. That rhymed. See? I work well under pressure. […]
Yesterday, I was the worst mother ever. I have a tendency to over dramatize my writing so take that with a grain of salt. It’s Book Fair week at our school. I love book fair. As a kid, it was my favorite thing. A few dollars and a whole sea of cheap books. And then, […]
Today… I bring you a craft. And not just any craft. A craft that won’t make you cry in frustration. A craft that won’t make your children cry in frustration. A craft that kinda ends up looking LIKE the Pinterest pin you got it off of. A craft that people will love to receive as […]
Today I have some exciting news to share with you all… I’m in a book! As in, two fabulous editors thought my essay was perfect for their anthology on…wait for it… Female Friendship. If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that friendships were slim pickings over the last months. […]
Maybe this review is going to be biased slightly because I am a Disney nerd, but try to forget that as you read this. I have a new favorite Disney movie. Frozen is by far — one of the best animated films I’ve seen, and not just because the snowman is hysterical. Remember the good […]
This holiday was a huge success. The story in photos.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I’m busily preparing the last minute dishes. I hope you all have elastic pants and great friends and supportive family. Love to you all!
Happy Day before Thanksgiving! I’m too busy to write much. I have too much to cook (and word on the street is that Pinterest is broken because they didn’t shore up their server space before the biggest recipe search day in America). Anyway, not to be all Julie-Be-Downer, but I watched this TED talk this morning […]
Not one kid liked them. Ba– humbug. I tried to make them yummy. I roasted them in olive oil and salt with sliced up pears! Then I added butter and toasted hazelnuts. And if I were a good little food blogger, I’d have a photo. But I don’t. I was slightly distracted by several things during […]
You get an exceptionally thrilling round up about my work, my food, my drama, and my relationships. And a lesson in Parsnip identification.
There is some method to my madness. Yesterday I posted 8 useless things about me and despite the fact it should be given a grade of F — for grammar, effort, and level of boring — out of it, I got an idea for another post! So today, in a rare moment of usefuless, I’m […]
I’m really hoping you have something better to do this Saturday than read this blog post. I wrote it because I can’t win an iPad Mini if I don’t post 30 consecutive days in November. I’m sorry for you.
This morning was the first morning I didn’t want to be culinary. We’re almost out of food for the week and I laid in bed at 6am and thought Maybe I should just go to the grocery store and buy a lunchable. The problem is that I’ve educated myself beyond hope. Now when I go to […]
You teach people how to treat you. I know this in my head but since I have two holes on either side of it, it’s often flying out of one ear or the other. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Another hard hitter that I’m struggling to hang onto […]
