House of Cards
Posted in how to survive toddlerhood, other people, SPD on 04/20/2009 | 12 Comments »
I sink into the hot water of my bath, hoping to reach a moment of relaxation in the midst of motherhood. It is 10am. The children are fed, dressed & playing. In the background I hear the noises of boys. Their noises grow louder & I sink further into the water to drown it out, [...]
About the yard

I just wanted to follow up on this post because it truly is so lovely here with tall trees, green grass and a newly shored up brook on the property. Wildlife in all its forms finds a home here. We arrived home on Sunday and since then have seen two deer, a fox and entire [...]
Questions for the Universe
Posted in other people, other people's children, questions for the universe on 06/18/2008 | 6 Comments »
Dear Universe,I guess this is really more of a comment, for I have ceased asking why questions of you. The incessant whys of my children have inoculated me against reasons.

Beck’s place is a nice place to read about parenting – lots of cupcakes, chores and the occasional rant. It’s just the type of reading I enjoy while my kids are napping and my tea is actually hot. These last two days her blog has echoed a problem that we are having in the neighborhood. [...]
Style

Here’s an article about childbirth and epidurals that just made me have to take a few deep breaths. That’s okay, both sides had their say, so I am cool with running the story as is – except for the following: Why do major media outlets put information about childbirth under the style section???

I’d like to thank the Momocrats for creating a meme that didn’t involve random facts, that does involve giving bullies a smack down and affords me the perfect lead in to tell you about the story of my maiden name – which is, in fact, Rosenblum.Look here is my dad, Carl:Somehow he manages to look [...]

(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 [...]
