A couple of months ago I stumbled upon this post at Mommalogues. I rarely visit the site yet when I saw a tweet containing the link/teaser below it caught my attention. What three words would your kid(s) use to describe you? For two reasons. First, it reminded me how long it had been since I [...]
Last week was heaven. Five full Tornado & Me days which were reminiscent of all our time before Kinder started. We laughed, we cried (seriously. all that one-on-one time was NOT without its bickering!) it was better than Cats. What I loved most was the fact we didn’t travel. We hung here & just spent [...]
“Im sorry. You’re just not a priority right now.” “Im sorry. This just isnt a priority right not.” I saw this post last night before I unplugged for Shabbat and it resonated with me. And, since Ive rambled here about 2012 being the year I strive to live my priorities, I wanted to share. The [...]
(The Tornado’s gratitude board mid-creation.) Since she’s been old enough to register her surroundings the Tornado has been curious about my vision & gratitude boards. Her questions began as simple ones (What this is?) and have recently grown more specific (Who is this? Why is he on here? Do I know him?!). Although we’ve always [...]
This weekend, as I worked on an (assigned) article about having it all, I returned to a conclusion I’d reached long ago. We cannot have it all. It’s impossible. Or, more aptly put, I re-concluded there’s no way *I* can have it all. (if youre thinking this wasnt a popular stance with my editor you’d [...]
(I do love me some Theodore Geisel*) All over the ‘net today tributes there are. Shout outs to Seuss. From near & from far. Spoofs on the subject of green eggs & ham. Written by cooks and lovers of SPAM. I shall spare you an ode As we do that each day! The child & [...]
I may be a misfit & oddly comfortable in my own swiftly-wrinkling skin, yet even I paused before I hit PUBLISH on a post bearing today’s title. Success is such an odd, debatable word. One woman’s definition (money, fancy homes, nice cars, unlimited access to high quality beef jerky) may look entirely unlike another’s (lots [...]
The end of 2011 was kind of a mess for me. It was filled with great things yet I sensed in my heart I was teetering on the edge. I felt thisclose to being someone who gave lip-service to what was important in her life & lived otherwise. I felt thisclose to being the blogger [...]
(I’d pick big, heart-shaped muscles over skinny any day.) For those of you who lovelovelove find posts about my life-minutiae interesting this mightcould be your dream post. For those of you who kinda dont give a shit prefer more informative, motivating missives* you may want to click away in a hurry before the navel-gazing [...]
Once upon a time I yammered about the importance of first aid kits. I was kindasorta a new mom and as a result BLANKETED the domicile (and car) with tiny kits crammed with ‘saving’ devices. Bandages. Medicine. Tweezers. Ointments. Ice pack thingies. Heat packs. Surgical tape. You name the medical crap & I had it [...]
