Today I became an aunt again. My brother, Ken, and his lovely wife, Kristy, are the proud parents of a brand new baby girl, Anna Charlotte. If only I wasn’t across the continent, so I could see her in person — although Ken’s done a good job getting lots of pictures of her. It’s Ken’s [...]

October 14th, 2009When I became a mother, I knew I would be doing the obvious: taking care of the kids, feeding them, giving them baths, etc. What I never considered was how it would it would change my world beyond that. The scary thing is that you don’t even notice the changes until it’s too late to [...]
October 2nd, 2009Well, I can’t say I didn’t see this one coming a million miles away. I’ll admit, I’ve been a viewer since the beginning, although I’ve only watched the show on and off for the last couple of years. I always sympathized with Kate, having to stay home and take care of 8 kids. I barely [...]
August 18th, 2009I don’t know how many of you moms are into recycling, but I am. I first started doing recycling as a way to bring in some extra money. I don’t make a ton of money doing it because I focus mainly on our family usage, but I do know of others who will scour neighborhoods and [...]

August 11th, 2009When William Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet,” he probably wasn’t thinking of how children’s names seem to reflect their personalities. At least in my case, they are true to form. When I was pregnant with my daughter, we had already decided her name was going to be Phoebe [...]
August 7th, 2009This summer, Thursdays have been the busy day in our household. I work in the morning and get home just in time for the kids’ swimming lessons. Chase’s is first, followed by Felicity’s. By the time we finish with their lessons and showers, it’s time for dinner, which we usually pick up on the way [...]
