I’m a bit obsessed with this tree. See here. And here. And here. Something about the thousands of delicate white blossoms makes me happy. And the fact that the tree stands gloriously in our front yard ensures that I can see those blossoms every time I gaze out the living […]
Any excuse to hold his hand*
*This one involved running up and down the hill at the dog park.
See this adorable child?
He’s devious, I tell ya! The sleep. The sleep. The sleep. Or the lack thereof. He’s been on a major “I have no intention of going to bed before 10:30” kick. And it’s becoming a bit tiresome. This attitude also includes shirking the responsibility of a nap. Does he not […]
The places we meet
I have two friends who met on the Internet and have been married for nearly seven years. Happily. But everyone winces when they hear “we met on the Internet” stories. The headlines always blare out the bad stuff that happens. So where’s this going? Well, I’ve found myself meeting a […]
A three-hour tour
My husband is singing the nightly songs to the kiddo. His current selection? The theme from “Gilligan’s Island”. It’s a raspy-voiced rendition, courtesy of the nearly two-week-long illness he’s had since our return from Florida. There’s nothing like writing web content about interpersonal communication while listening to the escapades of […]
The cure for what ails me
On my drive to daycare yesterday, I was still noodling over how I could be in such a terrible mood. And how to get out of it. A day’s worth of angst just wasn’t something I wanted. As I was walking toward the front doors, though, I heard this sweet […]
Where are my proofreaders when I need them?

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 […]
