“Where am I am smiling, mom?” We are looking at baby pictures of Henry in our photo software. It’s opening because iPhoto has been acting all strange. Things are not where they are supposed to be. There are 3-4 version of some pictures. In off moments, I’m trying to sort, to make room for the [...]

We’ve had a large helping of illness at our house recently – ranging from the common cold, to pneumonia and h1n1 -including its full range of symptoms! September 17th was the first day of this current round. Kids have been in & out of school since then, both Matt and I were down for the [...]

I’m not holding out hopes for much support here, but I am starting a grudge match against the country of Italy. Anyone want to jump on the bandwagon with me? No? Okay. What if I made an exception and said you could still like the people, the art, the music, the food, the wine, the [...]

More than anything else my children enjoy water play in the summer time. It is hands on, creative, messy and fun. The only source of stress to visit us on those hot summer days was under the spigot. The water source was a precious commodity. The boys vied for control over it, even while I [...]

Two years ago tomorrow, I started this blog. And just like that two years go by. I did actually start it one day after the anniversary date of the day we tragically lost a pregnancy with a girl child who would have been 2 years younger than our Thinker. Two years ago, I was coming [...]

I thought it might be good for me to mention that yesterday was a due date for a baby girl I named Jordan. She was lost to me in a traumatic early second trimester miscarriage, in which I nearly lost my life. The aftermath of this incredibly horrific event spilled into every area of our [...]

Last year on this day I wrote a post about loss. It’s not my only one. I wrote it about an early miscarriage I had had a few months prior to conceiving my youngest child. He turns two in a few short months. It occurs to me that my body is more in touch with [...]

(Disclaimer, I am 100% confident that many of you have or know lovely, charming, friendly girls out there. I’m just having a bit of a moment here. Pay no attention to my crisis if it offends you. Move along and don’t read it. That’s fine with me. I will get over it. I also know [...]
