Remember Mandy? The one who competed in a triathlon a month after learning that she has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma? The one who’s a listener, writer, world traveler, mother, survivor, fighter, lawyer, teacher, thinker, friend? Well, check out this jaw-dropping awesomeness, this take-no-prisoners, taking-charge-of-my-own-hair-loss-and-removal, thankyouverymuch ‘do Mandy now has. Hopefully halfway through her chemo treatment, Mandy decided to turn her hair loss into read more
Need some ideas for a cute shower or baby gift this summer? How about one of these adorable Three Marthas hooded towels? They’re perfect for bath or pool time, and as I’ve written about before, they last forever. And speaking of perfect gifts for summer babies, don’t forget about our Flap Happy hats. We just got this new pattern in, read more
#3 wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself while his big brothers were away at camp. The house felt noticeably different without them here, and he responded to their absence not by flourishing under my attention, but by thrashing around on the furniture, hitting inanimate objects, and basically looking for trouble at every opportunity. Mealtimes were an exercise in read more
On his last day of school, the Eldest spotted a lizard up in a tree, shimmied up the tree, and caught the lizard. He was holding it in his hand when I came to pick him up, and he was still holding it in his hand when we got home, even after a little apres school celebration at the indoor read more
Big thanks to Mimi and Bobo for keeping #3 so we could have a weekend sojourn and eat our way across Western NC. Thanks for checking in and have a great day!
Yesterday, I found this in the mailbox.If getting a package addressed to me wasn’t excitement enough, then looking at all those “CELEBRATE” stamps definitely did the trick. I wasn’t expecting anything, ie door hardware, camp clothing labels (oh right, didn’t order those! Marked up the whole house with a sharpie before sending the kids off…), or any of the other read more
Last week we spent a fair amount of time at the “outside pool”, as #3 calls it, though admittedly not nearly as much as Heather and her kids, who are both doing swim team. They are there allthetime, apparently, practicing, writing all over each other with sharpies, going off diving boards, and, of course, swimming in swim meets. Since we read more
Lately, I’ve been working on a jigsaw puzzle.This will likely come as a surprise to those of you who know me, given that I’m spatially challenged in a big way. I once had difficulty putting a cassette in its holder (wow, just dated myself) if that’s any indication of the kinds of trouble I have with fitting things together. If read more
This is Eben. He is THE brown dog at Brown Dog Farm. My in-laws live about 15 minutes outside Madison, Georgia, just south of heaven and then take a right onto Brown Dog Farm. It truly is a getaway from the kind of busyness and crazy that is our normal routine in Greenville. Just 25 minutes away is the University of Georgia, read more
It occurs to me as I clean up lunch this afternoon that, although I don’t have to pack any more lunches until August, I do still have to feed my children three-ish times a day. And provide them with transportation, energy-burning activities, opportunities for continued learning, love, affection, etc. All those things. I am, admittedly, an occasional summer-hater. With the read more
