So you may have read my last post about how I hate cooking. Crazy isn't it? I have 8 children yet I hate cooking. Seriously. I hate it. So I decided to take the initiative and change my ways for 2013. Yes! I have decided to cook atleast one real meal a week - in other words, one … [Read more...]
Take Me Away!
Right now I am wrapped in my housecoat, rinsing out my four year-old's barf bowl every 20 minutes, and drowning in laundry. But....in three weeks' time I will be sunning my doughy thighs on the beach in Maui.I have really learned a lot these past few years about embracing the moment, being more … [Read more...]
TGIM
Winter kind of sucks. And so do Mondays.To make the wintry start of every week a tad more bearable I have instigated a new Monday night tradition: at 8 pm, a few girlfriends trickle in through the door, stomping the snow off their boots and we curl up on the couch, sip some wine and watch The … [Read more...]
What to Tell the Children
A few weeks ago someone asked me if we were "out" with our kids. We aren't, yet.

And as every parent … [Read more...]
Just putting it out there….

There is (almost) nothing that gives me more pleasure than enjoying fruits and vegetables that just hours earlier, were plucked from a field at the peak of ripeness. Sadly, in the dark days of January, this is a tough task to … [Read more...]
Where There’s (Not) a Will
We don't have a will.There, I said it.Chalk it up to denial about my own mortality, fear of thinking of the horrible possibility of my and my husband's death and leaving our kids orphaned, or plain old laziness and not wanting to act like a grown-up. But my only New Year's resolution this year … [Read more...]

Job Time!
I often comment on how hard it some days to switch gears in the parenting department. One minute I am chasing down two wild twin toddlers, breaking up a fight between siblings, and then dealing with the crazy mood swings of teenagers and having to rationalize things that I really shouldn't … [Read more...]
