It’s close to anniversary time, again. My husband and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in May – in probably the weirdest way possible considering current events. That’s okay though.

You may have noticed that there’s been a long pause between posts. I’m working hard to get caught up, but I’ve been sick. Despite our best and most careful efforts, my oldest got sick – very sick – at the end of April. We suspect he became infected when doing what was supposed to be …
Please excuse my hyperbolic statement for a moment, but it’s been a tough month. We all have them, but not a lot of us talk about them. Here it’s been the being broke in the aftermath of an expensive December, the grief of having lost a beloved pet, and then! Then! My adult child has …

I don’t do well with ambiguity, ambivalence, or up-in-the-air stuff. Even my lists are part of lists. But sometimes, you have three kids ages 5 and under. Sometimes, your …
It’s my favorite time of year again – autumn. There’s always been something magical from mid-September through the end of the year and even into some of January. I’m excited, because even though we’re going to be very busy in the coming months, there are a lot of fun things on our calendar. I became …
