Summer is already upon us! Stevie is out of school and Memorial Day weekend is but a memory. Ours had its ups and downs and the down parts got me all sorts of anxious at the thought of our impending long, hot summer. So it’s time for me to focus on some other things. The…
Well, well, well. Here we are again! I will be celebrating my 6th Mother’s Day, how about you? The husband has learned — just in these six short years of blissful parenthood — that the greatest gift he can give me for Mother’s Day is time away from my child. But if that fails, because life is…
We survived another holiday! That’s not to say that Stevie wasn’t still in FULL ON Easter-mode when he woke up this morning. At 6:30 he had sweets on the brain, and certainly hadn’t forgotten the lollipop we promised him “later”. His favorite game as of late is to watch me put Hot Wheels into Easter eggs…

Making: more time for TV (we started and are almost caught up with GOT). Cooking: Stevie’s really into vegan mac + cheeze right now. So I’m technically microwaving. Drinking: this amazingly refreshing grapefruit beer. Reading: who has time to read?? No, I seriously need to know. Wanting: a whole new wardrobe. Yeah… we on that again.…
