I’m not a camper. Although, for the first thirty years of my life, I was. I went camping all the time as a kid. The White Mountains, a few times up in Vermont, and almost every year from the time I was my oldest child’s age, I went to Hermit Island up in Maine. I …

Way Back Wednesday
This is a post from few years ago – May of 2009. This was a really good weekend, and I added some pictures from that day. Happy, happy weekend Well, except for the excruiating sinus infection.

New Season
It’s crazy busy around here, with the end of the year festivities all over the place, gorgeous warm weather begging us to be outside, and laundry (always) and dishes (oh, I hate dishes) constantly piled up all over the place.

Puke as a marital bonding tool
I know it sounds stupid. But there’s nothing like a night with a puking kid to make Marc and I feel closer to each other. Jessie was a frequent night puker. She’s got bad allergies. Between the dust mites and the pollen, she spends most of the year at least a little bit congested. …

I’ve been banned from math homework
First, I’d like to be clear. I’m far from unintelligent. I’m totally capable of figuring out what to tip in a restaurant, for example. It’s merely that I chose to specialize about thirty years ago on reading and writing, and the math… not so much. I was a good student, honors classes, AP classes …
