This is what I’ve been thinking about lately: People never use the word “marvelous” anymore. I think it’s a shame. What a great word! As a matter of fact it’s marvelous. So expect to hear it a lot more on this blog. __________________________ My New Year’s resolutions have gone outstandingly well except one: to not […]
I wrote the letter to withdraw India from school. Yes, I got up the guts to pull her out of 7th grade. After listening to her cry and beg endlessly* to be homeschooled, I decided that I’m up to the task. Friday is her last day. I’m a bit nervous, but at least I’ll […]
For Fess-Up Friday I want to tell you about something that is kind of embarrassing and makes me completely not cool: going someplace new and different always makes me feel anxious and slightly worried. It doesn’t matter what it is: a restaurant, a museum, a flea market. If I don’t know what to expect I […]

I’m up to my eyeballs in birthday preparations. And we have a big church party tonight as well. In other words, I’m raw-ther busy. But here’s something for you to think about: one of my very favorite foods ever. You probably have heard of Biscoff. It tastes like cookies but is smooth like nutella. It’s […]

Hey lurker from New Jersey! Who are you and why do you live in such a funny-sounding town? Every time I see the name Hopatcong I start saying it in my mind and can’t stop for an hour or two. Is it some sort of wacky Indian name?
I’m trying to scrape together any shards of enthusiasm I have for the holidays and Christmatize my house. I realize most of you decorated the second the Thanksgiving dishes were clean, but holiday decorations are simply not my thing. Why isn’t a tree good enough? Why must I have bannisters wrapped in garlands? And […]
So gas prices go down, the stock market climbs a smidge and suddenly there’s no motivation for getting you food storage anymore? And after I wrote that motivational post last week? (well, it got Tiburon into gear! Go Tib!) So Harlene was my only good girl! Because this is so very important, I’m giving you […]
I have three daughters but have somehow avoided all things High School Musical. I don’t know how I managed to swing this, but I consider myself incredibly fortunate. So the fact that HSM 3 is in theatres? Nobody here cares! Sweeeet!
