Anxiety

It’s middle of October so what is everyone talking about, thinking about and preparing for? For camp! Insanity if you ask me. It seems so hard to believe that we need to make plans for June in October. I do know that before I know it, June will be here. Where will Drew go to camp? It’s a tough one. […]

It was a weekend of celebrating. I always have anxiety (what else is new?!?!) when we have a jam packed weekend. Regardless of how much fun the plans are, I like to have some flexibility to go as the wind takes us. This weekend, however, there was none of that!

I realize that I’m a glutton for punishment, but it doesn’t make the situation any better. I wanted Gabby to walk so much. I practically willed her to walk. I hated, I repeat…I HATED, crawling.

Maybe it was because I set out for Mission Fun, or maybe it’s because my kids really are a blast. This is clearly […]

Business people spend time in networking groups, leads clubs, or chambers of commerce to get to know contacts that will hopefully inspire more business. What about Mommy Bloggers? Where do they get their voices heard? Where do they find people to inspire more business? Today I was at the park where a large play group was gathering. First of all, […]

When Drew was first born I researched the variety of car seats available for an infant and settled on a Graco. It was quite practical; universal with most strollers, had lovely attachments to fit into different bases for different cars and allowed the child to be carried while sleeping without being moved. I discussed with other mothers the value of […]

We are picking up and leaving this town. Tomorrow marks, in addition to being the beginning of the three week break from Drew’s school, the first day of our beach vacation to Michigan. In so many ways I’m ecstatic about having some time away from real life. In some ways I’m thrilled about abandoning the craziness of our rituals of […]
