So I’ve been sitting here today feeling all crabby and I’m totally blaming it on the weather because I certainly can’t be expected to be all happy and positive when the sky is gray and the rain is falling, with temperatures in the 40’s. Sure I have the cutest polka dotted rain boots ever, but […]

April 22, 2011 · by · 4 Comments
A couple of Saturdays ago as I lingered in bed for a little while, appreciating that it was the weekend and I had no early morning breakfasts or lunches to prepare for the kids, Nick appeared in my room and snuggled up next to me – he’s twelve so this is really, really special. He asked if his friend […]

A couple of weeks ago I got really annoyed with our school district. I know, I know, shocking right? I mean me? Annoyed? Oh, whatever.Basically, they send out a school calendar, which undoubtedly will be revised and reprinted and sent to families again and maybe again.

I mean, I get really frustrated that nobody helps with household jobs, yet I never followed through and stayed consistent […]

No matter what your plans are, you should make it a priority to set your DVR for 9 p.m. EST to record Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.

Are you already trying to think of how many times you can utter the words “April Fool’s” today? It’s April 1st and although I LOVE a good joke and pulling one over on others, especially my husband, today is also the start of Autism Awareness Month.
