Yes, the coffee at Metropolis was as good as Sarah billed it to be. We grabbed a quick bite (spinach and feta pie!) and a drink at her favorite local coffee roaster before heading over to Berger Park to let the kids loose. And, boy, did they run! We were […]
Here I am!
I’ve been neglectful. No matter how much I love my website, sometimes it drops down on my list of priorities. One of which is taking a weekend jaunt with my guys. We leave this afternoon for Chicago and some lovely summer weather. I had to get something up here, too, […]
Leaving on a jet plane
I woke up this morning with some crappy laryngitis-type thing with a raspy voice and a sore throat. I worked for several hours before giving up and just coming home to rest. But nap or no, the throat was still achy when the boys got home tonight. So what better […]

We went to Festival…
…and all he got was an orange balloon. Well, and a popsicle, a hot dog and a raspberry smoothie. And he really lobbied for some new sunglasses after walking past a sidewalk display. “Mommy, I neeeed new ones.” Because, of course, the two pairs we already have just can’t be […]
