You know how you never really feel like a grown up? Like two mortgages, two cars, three children should be a pretty good sign that I’m grown up but I still keep expecting someone to march through the front door and override me (and no I’m not talking about what my five year old does everyday).

For awhile I’ve joked that anytime Noah starts to make signs of working towards crawling, I flip him over to keep him away from becoming mobile. Unfortunately, there’s some truth to that. I’m scared.

I’m excited to get away from the craziness of our real life. It’s not that taking three kids who completely and totally thrive on routine and their comfort zone world isn’t crazy. […]

Today in Yoga my teacher talked about Tarka, writing down three things (as she put it, things that were “no bueno”) that you are not so proud of that you did and then destroy the paper. It’s like coming to terms with the things you have done that were less than best, instantly I thought about the stank eye I […]

Today Drew’s camp had their first FIELD TRIP!!! I’ve barely come to terms with swim lessons, and now you are going to throw a field trip at me!!?? There’s two overwhelming thoughts that came to mind. First is that I clearly have to keep him at home. He is not ready for a public outing, on school buses that have […]
