Let’s just say I wasn’t in the mood to throw away another shirt.  And thankfully, I can keep these.  I kind of like them. What a game!  Sure, I had to lock myself in my bedroom for most of the game.  At one point, I had two children shouting “mommy” outside my door.  They took […]

Could there be anything sweeter than a big brother reading to his little sister?

A few weeks ago someone asked you how old you are and you answered “2 1/2”. 2 1/2!!! Goose and I just stopped in our tracks.  Where did that come from?!  It may not be a huge deal, but to us, it was just an amazing answer.  I mean, you really are 2 1/2.  And […]

Sometimes a break is in order. To see your favorite people. In your favorite city. Just hanging out, talking and laughing for hours on end. And drinking. And going to eat food that makes your tummy happy. Just being together.  Being with people who make you happy. Just adults. Much needed time with the people […]

For the record, locally grown, it’s not always as tasty as one thinks.  And it’s a lot more expensive than Costco’s organic berries.  But the kids enjoyed it, and recalled last year when they picked strawberries.  Memories are what I want, and that’s just what we’re creating.
