Summertime!

The weather the last couple days has been sunny and beautiful.  We’ve even gotten up to a balmy sixty degrees.  The girls are dying to break out their summer clothes, but I’ve decided to make them wait just a bit longer.  (In my former life in San Diego, I would’ve thought I was freezing to [...]

An Interview with the Jayman!

The ever so fabulous Jayman has interviewed me (Yes, ME!) with his five most pressing questions.  Here is a transcript of our conversation:
Jayman: What ONE book and ONE CD would you want if you were stranded on a deserted island?

Cake Making Adventures

On Friday, Mimi came home from school all excited about plans she and her friends had made to celebrate another one of their friend’s birthday.  One was going to bring flowers, another one balloons and so on.  Mimi had volunteered to bring a cake.  Not a cupcakes, a cake.

Hurray for Pie!

Generally speaking, I’m pretty inventive when it comes to silly holidays.  I can make up a character to bring joyful wishes at the drop of a hat.  (Remember the Valentine Bunny? And you do know that Paddy O’Furniture, the Magical Leprechaun is coming soon, don’t you?)  But I didn’t see today’s holiday coming.  Do you [...]

Tech Support

When I got my baby camera nearly a month ago, I was thrilled beyond belief.  I had finally started to master vaguely comprehend the Beast, yet I had been longing for something tiny and simple that I could just carry in my pocket and not worry about.
The Baby was the perfect answer.  That was until [...]

Jeffrey’s Back!

One sure way of having some lurkers come out of the woodwork is to stop writing for a few days almost a week.  It’s kinda fun getting emails and phone calls from friends and family that keep tabs on us via my blog.  To my amazement, the person that pestered me the most posting an [...]
