We are beginning the third full day of summer vacation. I’ve already lost count of how many more to go. It feels like they’ve been home for months. And by they I mean…all 5 kids and my husband. My husband, the big boss, has thankfully taken over the laundry. On his own accord. Fine and [...]

I Would Die For You
March 13th, 2011 
admin My 7 year old is very attached to me. I’m so much more than OK with that because I happen to return the attachment ten-fold. He’s my baby, my youngest and I guess I’m trying to hold on to his childhood and slow it down as much as I can. Every night, since he was [...]

Kids These Days
December 14th, 2010 admin The other night, my stepson was on Skype talking to a classmate. A girl that had been on the football team with him, during his short-lived stint at the athletics (he’s more of a drama guy). Another girl, who was at my house, was all like…EW, that girl he’s talking to is gross. She’s like [...]
