Hi friends. I wish I could have all you wonderful readers just give me a big hug at once. I know that those of you who take the time to follow my little blog and read about all my foibles are supportive. I think you all love my kids too. At least you consistently tell… Read More »
I stood in line sweating. My basket full of goodies weighed down by the one really important piece. Do I buy it? Do I shackle myself to this hideous thing? “I’m buying this for my daughter. She’s gonna wear it every day and I will hate it.” I said to the cashier. She just laughed.… Read More »
There haven’t been any conversations with Coco that I’ve wanted to write about lately. Now if I wanted to write about arguments with Coco there would be an abundance of ripe material. Maybe I will someday…I’m sure it would amuse everybody but me. I’m usually at the end of my rope and ready to check in… Read More »
I love the talks I get with Coco at bedtime. There’s always this golden moment where I’m being a good mom and she’s being a perfect angel. I like it this way. For a split second I feel inspired and encouraged. Like I said, it’s a golden “moment” meaning that it doesn’t last long. That… Read More »

Really? Am I really supposed to already suffer the angst of time. Of age. Of…change? Apparently. Other than the amazing camera on my iphone, I haven’t really taken any photos since my surgery. It’s too hard to manage my big old Canon with only one lame hand. I’ve managed to get some really good shots… Read More »
Cosette has an extremely elaborate, ever evolving bedtime routine. The short version of it is she does whatever she can to extend the “awake” time and keep us with her. Duh. Doesn’t every kid? “Sing songs.” “I want watuuu” (water) “I need to go poddddy” “I need say nigh night Chaucer” “I want Da da”… Read More »
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this adorable dress in our local kids consignment store. I have no idea what this dress was originally for–maybe a wedding, a play, Halloween, or maybe from someone who liked to reeeeaally dress up their kids for church. I don’t know.
