Frozen peanut butter pie. Yum. I’ve been cooking and baking again. I fell out of my kitchen groove for a while and it had me worried.
Fridays are our days
It’s actually my mocha, but he’s setting down his milk behind it Every morning Devin wakes up and asks, “Are we going to Wanda’s house today?” Sometimes it’s the first thing to come out of his mouth. And, yeah, four days a week he goes to daycare. (A center, not […]
All hail The Slump!
My motivation…where did it go? I’m in a slump lately. It’s so hard to find the time and energy to formulate a thought, much less an interesting post. It’s like that with everything else, though, too. Photos? They’re just not coming easily. Housework? Ha! Cooking? I’ve been using the excuse […]
How I look to my kid
A bit foolish, I suppose, but I let Devin snap some pics the other night. His method involves pressing the shutter-release button several times in a row. Ha! Do I make these goofy faces all the time? C’mon, friends, fess up!
Strides
I have always, ALWAYS hated running. It’s never worked for me. Every time I’ve tried it, I’ve been beaten back with ferocious cramping in my side. (Except for one blissful 20-minute run on the treadmill ten years ago. That was nice.) Everyone would tell me, “Oh, just work through it.” […]
The boy who refused to sleep and other travel tales
Scott’s been complaining about how often we travel to Chicago. I thought he, like me, missed the city desperately. But I think that he’s just gotten over that emotion and moved on with his life. Now he has a hankering for other travel destinations, and I’m still stuck in the […]
Mmmm…mocha!
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 […]
What makes a happy dad?
A yummy dinner at Bombay Cuisine, followed by a walk in the neighborhood lugging a 35-pound kiddo who’s singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” in his ear.
All around town
I love Saturdays. At least the ones where we have the time and inclination to get out and about and take advantage of what our city has to offer. Yesterday we did. We breakfasted at Brandywine in Eastown and then headed over to the tres-crowded Fulton Farmer’s Market for some […]
