I don’t get out much. I say this with complete honesty mixed with slight embarrassment and a large dose of self pity. So when my friend, Katie, called one morning to inform me she had a babysitter to watch our collective gaggle of 7 kids ages 9 and under on Saturday night I was ecstatic.… Read More
The One Where I Ask You for Advice
Share post:
“The grass is always greener.” You’re welcome. No, seriously. I am still grappling with this very real, very unsettling fact and I think that is the truth we are all fighting against. Maybe it is just me and no one else is this crazy, but I am struggling with it every single day. I keep… Read More
In Good Company with McQueen, Martin, and Carell

The other day our oldest son came up with his first spelling test. He scored 100%–spot, trot, quit, split all spelled correctly in his lopsided first grade handwriting. “Congratulations,” I began to tell him,” this is so great. Way to go, um, Steve?!” It seems my adorable eldest son has decided he wants to be… Read More
By the Book

I have a very spotty memory of my childhood. I have a hard time remembering anything before junior year in high school. 1988 is kind of the first year I remember well. And actually I don’t even remember that one all that clearly. There are things I remember in flashes before then: playing indoor floor… Read More

Back before kids, as in 2002 B.B.K, my husband and I adopted a mixed breed of the shepherd/cattle dog variety from a humane society. We named her Maisy and she was awesome. Ridiculously good and attentive and loyal and obedient. A Perfect Dog. Seriously. And when I say this, I say it knowing full well… Read More

Do you ever find yourself standing in the kitchen at dinner time totally paralyzed and unable to think of what to eat or feed your hungry family? Do you ever flip through the 57 stations on your television unable to find anything to watch so you just settle for Rich and Ridiculously Tacky Housewives of… Read More
Hot Stones and Kombucha
Share post:
I recently had a hot stone massage (if you have never had one before you must promise me and yourself that you will treat yourself to one one day soon). The very nice massage therapist started the massage with an intention card (like a tarot card but with inspirational words), a kombucha shot, and a… Read More

Do you even recognize this as the same person? What is going on here? Where are the cute freckles? Chin…cheeks…lips…freckles. She didn’t… Read More
Family Ties

I feel another confession coming on. Here’s the thing: I care what people think. To a fault. Actually, I don’t think this is news to you if you’ve read any of the previous posts. As I mentioned before: I was am a joiner and a people pleaser. Sadly, I have never really done anything just… Read More
Wanted: BFF Apply Within
Share post:
Meeting mom friends isn’t always easy. Are we really supposed to like each other and bond because we both procreated around the same time? That’s just weird. But we all need mom friends because non-mom friends find us annoying. And I really can’t be bothered with non-mom friend complaints of “how busy” they are and… Read More
