I’m convinced Lola has the best (worst) timing of anyone I’ve ever known! For what seems like years I wouldn’t take her to Target with me, for sheer fear of being cornered, AGAIN, into a too-loud conversation about private parts in the fruit cups aisle. NIGHTMARE! She also loves deep chats and talking about terribly […]

What is it about major holidays that makes me want to blog? Two birthdays, the first day of second grade, and Thanksgiving are all well behind us, but before Christmas hits I had to take this chance to write about what may be my favorite 2015 holiday yet — Halloween! Before you proceed thinking I’m some
When you get married the night before the 4th of July, there are always fireworks for your anniversary. Independence Day has been a weeklong celebration in our home for years – not because we’re especially patriotic or own a boat or anything – but since we got married the night before on July 3rd, 2012,

Today, a Tuesday just like last Tuesday (though hopefully nothing like last Tuesday!) where I wake up wondering how we’re going to pull in the kind

Hey, hi. Is this seat taken? I think I’m finally ready to start a blog. I’m just going to go for it, despite the feeling I’m a little late to this shindig – didn’t everyone start a blog 5 years ago? Nevertheless I’m deciding to write one now, not because I think my opinions are
