Sunday Recap: 5 Things that made me happy this week

November 14, 2012

Kids, location, family We took some pics of the kids today for holiday cards. And by “we,” I mean Ed. And I’m not going to pretend he was exactly pleased about the whole situation, only because it was nearly noon by the time we were in place to take the photos at my parents’ house [...]

Friday fun: Sweet, sleeping babes

November 9, 2012

One of the very cool things about our move is the having the ability to consistently work in the office a few days a week. I really enjoy my job. I actually began going into the office a full week before I’d planned to start. I’m extremely conditioned to work at home. I’ve been doing [...]

Tinker Bell and Darth Vader on Halloween

November 4, 2012

This was the first year I didn’t get to choose the kids’ Halloween costumes. I knew it was going to be the case. Last year, I put extra effort into their costumes because there was no doubt in my mind that it was my last go at Halloween costume masterminding. But my heart still broke [...]

Friday fun: The 7th circle of hell

October 26, 2012

If you’ve ever wondered what the 7th circle of hell is like, I’ll tell you. The 7th circle of hell is moving. Also? This last minute move? Yeah, turns it it’s a lot messier than the planned ones. (I didn’t know there were moves that could be messier than the standard move.) Fortunately, the seventh [...]

It’s the little things that are often so big

October 24, 2012

That voicemail from a stranger who took something you offered up on Craig’s List to say thank you and that they are praying for your family. That note of pride – one short line – left on Facebook by a former high school teacher you respected. That deep belly laughter shared with friends over sushi [...]

The road to adoption attachment: Don’t leave me, then and now

October 23, 2012

WTF Friday! Photos that will haunt you

October 19, 2012

I interrupt my usual Friday Fun post to bring you this series of photographs from the week. It’s likely because our lives are turning upside down – voluntarily and for the best reason ever – or it’s possible that it’s just life, but this week? Oh, it’s been a week. Thursday was like a Monday. [...]

WTH happened, Pinterest? Twelve layer rainbow Jello gone wrong

October 16, 2012

I love Pinterest. I love Pinterest so very much that I recently decided I was going to quit my job, leave my husband and hire a full time (24 hour a day) nanny to raise my kids so that I could devote every waking hour to creating the amazing masterpieces on Pinterest. I look through [...]

Sunday recap: 5 Things that made me happy this week

October 14, 2012

Sleep, even when it’s unwelcome  I’m more than a little worried that a lupus flareup is upon me. I went to bed at 6:00 pm on Friday – missing Mattix’s haunted house – and slept right through the soccer games on Saturday. I never miss Soccer Saturday when I’m in town. Ever. But I did [...]

Friday fun: The Apple store, then and now

October 12, 2012

On Sunday, I had to go to the Genius Bar at the Apple store because my Chrome browser corrupted and my entire life fell apart. (I’m not really exaggerating.) Molley asked to come with me, which was so nice. The day before, as she and I drove home from a birthday party for one of [...]
