portrait of mrs. so and so~ art studio for children The things my little artists say crack me up. And make me think. One of my feisty cats calls me NANCE ROMANCE. I have not been called that in over 25 years. She comes up to my belly button. I love her confidence in herself and our … [Read more...]
Then and Now.. his eyes tell the story
We just celebrated one year home this week. I went back and looked at the photos from the day we got off the plane from Moscow and I have to say that even though I lived it the transformation still amazes me. This is Roman the day we arrived home. Exhausted from the travel and a … [Read more...]
getting naked with strangers
We all know how much humans need touch to survive. Babies require it to thrive, old people who live alone often get pets and everyone in between will turn themselves inside out to be touched When that touch comes from strangers - not everyone loves it. I am not talking about the man on the … [Read more...]
words for wednesday – if I only had a peepee
Seriously do you know how many times a week I say " If I only had a PEEPEE" please dont get me wrong- I love being a girl. Really, almost everything about it thrills me. BUT I have some serious problems that having a peepee would surely fix - I have ZERO or less than zero sense of … [Read more...]
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go….
It had to happen sooner or later. People keep asking me with very concerned faces "How are you doing?" The truth is I am doing just fine. I mean don't get me wrong, given the option I would happily stay home with Roman indefinately. I have been a happy single stay at home Mom for the … [Read more...]

Don't you love when someone you don't know says "I hope I am not being too … [Read more...]
Reformed Coffee Snob
I love coffee It started when I worked for a little coffee company you may have heard of that has a mermaid as their logo. As part of my job I was trained as a "Coffee Master" and still have the business card to prove it. I still think that has got to be one of the coolest job … [Read more...]
Can you fish with a toddler?
I haven't dated in.... well... let's just say the last time I dated it involved keg parties. I have never actually gone fishing let alone in cyberspace. If you are single you probably know about "Plenty of Fish". If you aren't go kiss your partner and thank the stars that you think fish … [Read more...]
The Fun Part
So James and I parted on good terms, a date booked in our calendars and ready to take up our regular lives for the next two weeks until my kids were next at their dad's house. But, funny thing about that: after I left Starbucks I found I had a really hard time not thinking about him. A lot. Of … [Read more...]
tightrope walker
It hit me in a matter of fact way last week that I am a single mom. I know that sounds redundant but I don't think of it often as a way to describe myself (unless I need help carrying something heavy). I realized not just a single mom but the one, you know, you read about in those teen … [Read more...]
