You might not believe this since I’m the mother of six, but it’s is my first year being a soccer mom. I’ve avoided the stigma of soccer mom-dom for many years, for the same reasons that many mothers refuse to drive minivans: you feel like you have lost every bit of cool-ness and are now […]
This is a post about some of the random things rattling around in my life right now. There is a man with no teeth fixing my roof. He was quite charming and persuasive and I couldn’t resist his sales pitch even though I’m really into teeth. He informed me that he has “an eagle’s eye”, so […]
I love my treats. Oh yes I do. But ice cream has never been one of my favorites. It’s fine, but a total waste of calories, if you ask me. I’d rather have a cookie any day. A couple of weeks ago I took the babies to our weekly playgroup. We met at Phil’s Icehouse […]

Since I have a few readers who are related to me and actually want to see pictures of my kids, here they are. Sorry everybody else. I know that Halloween pics are a big snooze-fest. (Many apologies to York. He went trick-or-treating with a friend and I forgot to take pictures before he left.) […]
Ok, more like a many-thousand dollar smile. India has had braces and orthodontia for three years now. But today was the day we’ve been waiting for. She got her braces off for good! Today at 8 am: (forgive the weird blurriness. I’m no photographer and I was in a hurry to get kids out the […]
