I Am Woman…..
I’m always amazed when I do something I thought I couldn’t do, or was impossible. Marathons, losing weight yes, but even little things. Like when I was in high school and I had my first car (89 Dodge Colt). I had a tail light that burnt out. I thought about waiting until my dad got… Continue reading

Day.
We woke up (yes “we”- they migrated during the night) this morning to a phone call from Eric. That is always nice, but it happened to be a rare occasion where Hannah was still sacked at 6:30 and Jake might have been cajoled into playing quietly in his room for 15-20 minutes. The phone rang… Continue reading

Kindness
It hasn’t been a particularly rough day. Or week. My son started preschool and it’s been fun and exciting. We’ve been running errands and doing this and that. No big deal.

As I contemplated a run, (location, should I bring Jacob’s bike, just the stroller, decisions, decisions….) I got the genius idea to go for a bike… Continue reading

Pirate Pete!
Meet the new character that moved in with us! It’s Pirate Pete!! Arrrgghh Matey! Hannah gives Pete a love! Yes, I have officially gone insane! I found this fun puppet at a consignment shop and thought about what fun it would be with the kids. After our sessions with FOCUS I thought perhaps a character would… Continue reading

Green-Eyed Monster
I have a confession. Whenever I see my neighbor run or ride his bike by my house – I am GREEN with envy! I don’t normally consider myself a jealous person, but it never seems to fail, when my place looks like this: this neighbor guy runs by looking something like this: Okay, not… Continue reading
