Not in sync

When it comes to scheduling my life, including appointments, meetings, birthdays and events, I’ve been struggling ever since I ditched my Franklin planner and went with a PDA. I used my Handspring loyally for about a year with some success. I felt more on top of things, but I also […]

The things that three-year-olds say

Sometimes I wonder why I created a separate site for Devin. It’s meant to be a place for me to recount things since I’m way too lame to do scrapbooking and all that jazz. But I swear I make extra work for myself when I do stuff like that. And […]

SeaWorld = Hell

Can you believe I actually payed $10 so the kids could feed dead fish to these fellas? We’re baaaaack! Let me just share some advice with anyone heading down to Orlando any time soon. Do not. Do not. Do not take a sleep-deprived three-year-old, a petulant five-year-old, and a non-commital […]

We are outta here!

Well, in less than 24 hours we are. And I’m soooooo ready for a vacation. I’m eager to say goodbye to the wet, crappy snow that fell on Wednesday and that still lingers in my backyard despite a lovely day of sunshine. It may snow in April in Michigan, but […]

Just 10 minutes, please!

I have had a post, about my drive to Chicago, ready to write for three days now. And I can’t find a moment to do it. What gives? I will say that I’ve had time to eat plenty of Peeps this week. I guess you know where my priorities are!
