The babies have swimming lessons at the public pool for the next couple of weeks. Their lesson overlaps with the opening of the pool at 10 am. Today I was surprised to notice the large number of people standing at the gate waiting for the pool to open. Moms with little kids! Who does bathing […]
I needed to pick up some little bowls with lids so I stopped by the baby department at Target yesterday thinking I might find some. I haven’t been through there in a while. The baby bowls are right next to the sippy cups so I thought I might pick up a few, seeing as how […]
Would someone please tell me how I could possibly have a fourteen-year-old? I mean, when did that happen? I lucked out with this girl. She’s the best child a mom could hope for. Love you India! Happy birthday!
Worst: For some reason Independence Day is the big Jello holiday. I guess because the weather is hot and Jello is cold. At least I guess it’s cold. I don’t really know. I find it disgusting beyond belief. it is slippery and slimy and feels to me like eating sweet mucus. Ice cream bars. The […]
Today is my anniversary. Or rather, my anniversary with Mister. We have been married for twenty years. That is a really long time. Although I look fifteen I was actually 21. At the time I felt rather grown up but as I look back I realize what an absolute child I was and what business […]
I was amused to read this article about Ford’s development of an ultra-safe inflatable seat belt. When are car companies going to realize that providing more safety is only backfiring? Drivers feel too safe; too cocooned in their cars. People are feeling invincible. Ford has gotten it all wrong. If you want drivers to be […]

I had to take Jasper to the doctor yesterday. He was rubbing his ear all morning and moaning “ooouuuuch”. It turns out his right ear is so infected that it’s almost hemorraging. I don’t exactly know what that means, but I envision an explsion of goo and pus flying out of his ear like something […]
Yesterday I finished painting India’s bedroom. It’s cute, but still too messy to take an “after” picture. The bathroom next to India’s room is the main floor bath, and I couldn’t help but notice how boring and ugly it is. The color on the walls is the same beige that is in a lot of […]
Finn: “York told me that there’s a Chupacabra in the scriptures.” Me: “Realllllly. I don’t recall reading that part.” Finn: “Wait, maybe it’s a Kraken that’s in the scriptures.” Me: “Still not ringing a bell.” Me: “Sounds like you and your brother need to go to Sunday School twice a week.”
Tiffany (whose sunroom I’m very jealous of) had this great thing on her blog a while ago and it has intrigued me to no end. It’s called formspring and the whole point of it is to ask people questions anonymously! How thrilling! So if there’s anything you’ve ever wanted to ask me, now is your […]

I’ve been browsing a bit on etsy lately. It’s very addictive and I can find all sorts of non-useful things that I really must have. Some favorites: This monogrammed Queen Bee canvas: This cake platter is perfect for me; I love cakes, I love flowers, I love mosaics. I wonder if I could make something […]
