My sweet, gentle boy got invited to a birthday party at Build-a-Bear. When I picked him up afterwards he showed me his cute little bear, complete with bows on its ears and tummy. And then he showed me the bear’s birth certificate: You can always tell which kids have older brothers.
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’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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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!
