Two weeks ago there was angst and agony at the mere thought of the two week break in between school and camp. I’d be lying if I said it was the first time I felt this level of anxiety, but it seems to come a couple weeks before every break. We are all such creatures of our schedule that the […]

When I was in preschool I had a “boyfriend.” I very vividly remember him coming to my birthday party and giving me a snowman necklace.

I’m not a “get your hands dirty” kinda girl. But I pride myself on being (almost) willing to try anything once. With less than a month before our dual birthday party extravaganza, this weekend meant we needed to get into action mode! So… I made my first attempt at gardening. As most homeowners know, and I’m learning, is that there […]
