If there’s something you should know about Rachel, it’s that she’s wee bit obsessive. Just ask my browser history, which is filled with various inquiries into Sonic the Hedgehog, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Pokemon. She falls deep into these worlds, learning intricate details about characters and back stories, and then talks about it all […]

it went well I think
If you couldn’t tell by the massive amounts of photos of awkwardly smiling kids carrying backpacks twice as big as they are, this week marked the first week of school for a whole lotta people. My girls have waffled back and forth between SO EXCITED! and yeah, no thanks, school. And to tell the truth, […]
This kid right here
One the day that Rachel and Claire started kindergarten, Zoe was infinitely disappointed that she still had to wait another week and 2 days to go to mother’s day out. For weeks she had been telling anyone and everyone that she was going to preschool. In that week before her big day, I brought it […]
Come see me on BlogHer!
Exciting news today! Or tomorrow if you get this in your email! BlogHer, the largest community of women bloggers in the world, has chosen to syndicate my recent piece It’s Just a Thing, in which I deal with the 4 year olds breaking something very special to me. I’m very honored that they chose […]
Today I can
In light of horrific events that stripped some people of their loved ones last week — I’m actually writing this on Friday, the day that news of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shootings broke — I find myself with a new attitude towards, well, everything, as I look at my three healthy, gorgeous kids who are […]
Four is
It’s been over a month since Rachel and Claire turned four. All through the muckety muck of the thundering threes I kept my eye on this prize, looked for this light at the end of the hellish tunnel that was age 3.5 times two. I had read about the half years, how children can experience […]
I got a sunburn for Mother’s Day. Among other things.
Mother’s Day 2012, in as few words as possible because it’s late and I’m tired: There was an abrupt awakening for breakfast in bed. “Time is of the essence,” Christian says as he delivers my meal, which I eat with 3 little girls bouncing on the bed. There were handpicked wildflowers and a handmade (by […]
A love letter to the Chevy Tahoe
Dear 2012 Chevy Tahoe, I’m just going to put this out there: I miss you. Yes, sweet, silver 2012 Chevy Tahoe, from the moment you rolled into my life with your sleek, shiny bod, your big, black tires, and your gas gauge pointing all the way on the F, I was smitten. I mean seriously, […]
Listen to Your Mother: From here to eternity
What can I say about Sunday’s Listen to Your Mother show? I can say it was amazing, but “amazing” is a totally overused word. As is “totally.” No, Sunday’s show was more than amazing, or totally amazing, or even amazeballs, because I am in no way cool enough to use that word freely. I’m still […]
I Make Making Fun a weekly gig
Guys! I am ver’ excited to have joined the team over at This Blogger Makes Fun of Stuff. Today I’m sharing a fun kid-friendly recipe that we had to alter due to Claire’s peanut allergy. Not only do I get to write honest, no frills, and [hopefully?] funny reviews on all kinds of fun things, […]
