This is my "office" This is where I commute 7 minutes to everyday. I could stand out here all day taking in the crabapple blooms and the lavender fragrance. It's very soul soothing.   … [Read more...]

A few months ago I decided that for the first time I would run a March break Art camp. For years I have been asked to and always have taken the break from my work to be with my children. This year one is at Uni and one is in Buenos Aires. What is wrong with this picture? I am in my … [Read more...]

Nice To See You

November 24, 2012 by Amanda

The fall was so busy, there were days when I didn't really see my kids. I mean, I would be aware of their bodies as I bellowed at them to "Get in the van or we're GOING TO BE LATE!" and when I dropped them at school. And I was happy to retrieve them at the day's end, but then I would come home and … [Read more...]

Stop and Smell the Tomatoes

September 6, 2012 by Amanda

Someone has hit the fast-forward button on my days. I blinked and Brinley turned two. Then I blinked again and Avelyn started first grade. Then I blinked again and Karenna had her first day of Junior Kindergarten. And I blinked again and the summer was gone and fall has arrived and I am just feeling … [Read more...]

Holiday! Celebrate!

August 3, 2012 by Amanda

I am in the middle of two glorious weeks off of work. (My real estate career is thankfully one I share with a fantastic business partner so we get to trade off holiday time during the summer.) We're not going away during my time off, just sticking around town, hitting the beach, harvesting zucchinis … [Read more...]

You Are Getting Sleepy….

May 5, 2012 by Amanda

I am tired. TAh-erd. Despite now (mostly) sleeping through the night, I am still bagged by the end of every day. Something about the work/kids/life/marriage/exercise/home/friends balance (or lack thereof) is just taking it out of me. I know I'll look back on these busy days and be thankful for how … [Read more...]

What a Difference a Year Makes

September 8, 2011 by amreen

This time, last year, I was a panicky basket case.  I had just started my new career in teaching at a local college, teaching courses in law, on a part-time basis, to future paralegals and law clerks.  Everything was so new - the place, the people, the courses, the routine.  I hadn't … [Read more...]

Lunch Lady Land

August 25, 2011 by Christine

For the past 10 years I have been fortunate enough to stay at home with my kids. When Cuyler was in senior K and Cam was in grade one (and Eva not yet 1) I was asked if I would be willing to work a few hours a week covering EA lunches and supervising a kindergarten class at lunch at their … [Read more...]
