I went downstairs to get some laundry sorted out the other day... I couldn't have been gone more than 15 minutes. When I got back upstairs, I found this:Me: Um... what the hell is all this, then?She: They're stepping stones.Me: *incredulously* They are?!She: Yes. I need them so I won't get burned by … [Read more...]
Why Do I Blog?
I get this question a ton. I also get the 'your son is going to be so pissed when he reads all that you've shared on the internet'. I got a charming email once accusing me of being self-centered, selfish and thinking the world revolves around me (hello pot calling....). Maybe writing a blog is a … [Read more...]
Almost There…
Yesterday was the last day of summer vacation of Oliver, which was a typical Monday, but with the extras of a rather long laundry list of things that needed to be purchased or get done before the start of school. I sorted clothes and summer things around the children, who spent much of the day … [Read more...]
just thinking out loud/online…

Sometimes Re-entry is a Bitch.
Oh, the summer wind-down is (finally) here... but instead of feeling the lazy-hazy dog days of summer, I feel in a rush to get on track for school, which starts for Oliver on Tuesday, and for Madame, who goes back the day after Labour day, as god intended. (I mean, really! Back-to-school in August … [Read more...]

I bought them some essentials - tunics and leggings for Eva, pants and a much sought after Kermit tshirt for Cuyler. Then on to … [Read more...]
words for wednesday – how can I be your lover?
"How can I be your lover when I am so busy being your mother?" This is a name of a new book that caught my attention in response to what seems to be fewer and fewer married women wanting to have sex with their husbands or even having sex at all with their husbands. "In How Can I Be … [Read more...]
Is Round An Okay Shape For Kids?
