I haven't been writing much since the sale of UrbanMoms but I felt compelled to tell this story. Before I get started I want you to understand that I have total perspective on this. It is not life or death. But for our little family it would change the path we had been happily traveling for the last … [Read more...]
Spring Break Part II (Alternate Title: SO OVER IT)
Spring Break is TOO LONG. It came in like a lamb, all soft and warm and fuzzy with good family memories at the ski hill, but this second week is proving to be a ghastly lion as the girls claw each others' eyeballs out and bicker for hours on end.

It’s Heigh Time
Last week my far-away friend, Christy, along with her husband and four (!) children, spent seven days at our house. It was wild and wonderful and loud and hilarious.

It took me a while to figure out where to host it; I needed somewhere age appropriate for the friends he was inviting at the same time be able to hold Cuyler's interest. Cuyler's first suggestion was to invite … [Read more...]
Making A Wish
Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]
All The Beauty That Lies Beneath
This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike). Go out far into the ocean until you get to a reef. Put on your snorkel, mask and fins. And courage. And get close to some … [Read more...]
On Divorce-1/11 Ain’t Bad
I have just returned from 6 days in Cayman with 10 fabulous people. I have known all of them for 30 years. I feel really lucky to be in this group.
