So I mentioned that my brand new car was totaled last month right? Well after almost four weeks of driving three children around in a car, I was able to find a replacement vehicle. I decided to go with another van for one obvious reason. I am not stupid. Three kids that close to each [...]
As a parent I have explained to Aiden and Madeleine countless times that Charlotte is a ball of destruction. Nothing in her path is safe from her need to test the durability of whatever object she has her sights set on. Of course when I explain this I am met with crickets chirping and blank [...]
Aiden had his first field trip of the year and I was lucky enough to be chosen to be an instructor for the event. They were heading to a nature center on one of the rivers that feeds into the bay. Actually that’s not what happened at all. They changed the field trip date so [...]
As many of you know I have been getting rid of my junk. A lot of it. Last week I removed twelve bags of junk stuff from the basement. It’s hard to believe I kept all these items, feeling like they were important. I wasn’t even going to touch the basement for awhile but something [...]

Your luggage that is. Sometimes a “carry on” is not enough space for the planned activities. The following conversation may or may not have taken place this morning. It may or may not be about what type of luggage my mom would need for a short visit with us.
mom of me: I’ll just use a [...]
Saturday night I started on the “Front Room” or “The Home Office”, or the “Fish Tank Room”, Or the “Coat Room”. Whatever you make call it, I tore it apart. At 11:30 on a Saturday night. If you were thinking I was a swanky partier, you would have been wrong. Instead I was pulling everything [...]
We had Aiden’s birthday party today. Yeah, that would be the third party for him in the matter of a week. Aiden has had more parties than most rock stars. It was about as low key as you could get, pizza on the beach. Except, this guy on my street hosted his yearly friend party. [...]
