Saturday marked the last game of the boys’ Y basketball season, the swan song of what was one of the more entertaining youth sporting events I’ve had the joy of watching. I hate to say it, but this shot during warm-ups is most likely the only one the Little Prince took all game. You’ll see what I mean here read more
Though I haven’t taken an official poll, I’d be willing to bet that among the five boys in our carpool, Little Feat’s Willin’ ranks as a top five favorite for each one of them. And rightfully so. It’s a soulful ballad with a catchy refrain…”If you give me weed, whites, and wine, And you show me a sign, I’ll be willin’, read more
Remember this guy?Our sweet, precious, adorable Little Prince? Well, ever since turning six a few weeks ago, it seems as if Little Prince has found himself at a bit of a behavioral crossroads, as it were, caught between acting like he did when he was five (laid-back, listening, generally compliant) and like he thinks he’s going to act now that read more
And nary a one of them match. Happy President’s Day, everyone!
Remember back in November when I sold out to the man and promoted our Christmas t-shirts before Thanksgiving even had a chance to come and go? I do. I felt a little guilty about it, especially after posting the Nordstrom sign that touted celebrating one holiday at a time. At any rate, I’m going to do that again, but this read more
A few months ago, I was instant messaging with an old friend. When it came time to sign off, he wrote the following: You’re beautiful. You’re a genius. You’re an awesome mom. You’re a best friend. These came through, one after the other, and each compliment was better than the last. Before clearing the screen, I wrote this list down; read more
After everyone has gone to bed, I usually sit down and watch tv. It’s often fairly late by the time I’ve (not)done the laundry, dishes, etc., and Jay and I have gotten everyone settled in. But then I take a few moments and escape to whatever show it is with which I’m currently engrossed- Lost(when I’m feeling existential), Glee(when I’m feeling read more

I changed a tire last week. After dropping off the first round of rambunctious boys at carpool, I inched forward like usual, getting ready to make the quick right and then quick left to turn into the next carpool drop-off. However, as I started to creep forward, my car lurched a little. My first thought was that I’d somehow trapped read more
It was a lovely weekend here in South Carolina, the kind of weekend where doing nothing counts as doing something, if only because it’s sunny and warm and because being outside in and of itself is enough. Case in point: After hanging out in the backyard for a while playing, throwing the football, and generally lolling about, the kids had read more

Yesterday on the way to school, H, who coined the term “fawkward”, and I were discussing the merits of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. H was commenting on Panera’s excellence in skill when it comes to making a PB &J, saying that their peanut butter and jelly remain separate rather than all mashed together like it is at some read more

The Hunt for Red October(and Tupperware).
When I was pregnant with #3, I casually mentioned to my sister-in-law, Joy, that I was considering using cloth diapers. The guilt of using disposable diapers with the first two nagged at my conscience, and after seeing our friends Caroline and Matt use cloth with their daughter, I figured I would give it a go. When I revealed my plan read more »
