This year I turn 4-0. AGE IS JUST A NUMBER. Because you all know, I refuse to grow up. As part of my #40before40 I had indoor skydiving on my list. I had flirted once, a long time ago, with outdoor skydiving; for like a millisecond, because I’m not insane, just slightly crazy. Also, I like…
I’m a natural planner, gatherer and inviter. Which means I tend to do a lot of the work. Since my superpower is sweating-while-not-even-moving, you can imagine how much perspiration I generate when I’m busy prepping food, and organizing things. I love seeing people I care about have a great time. It just makes me happy….
I’m aliiiiiive! These last few months have been insane. I have so much to share, and my challenge is finding time to share it all. I do wish I could just blog by speaking into my phone as I go about my day, and have it automatically format and edit, and post all on its…
I nearly forgot Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 8th. Which didn’t quite surprise me, as any mother knows, life gets ahead of you and we’re all just trying to catch up. As I take a moment to think about motherhood and moms, I find that I’ve always wanted to be the kind of…
My husband and I read the Harry Potter series as they were published, while we were dating. They were addictive, magical stories that we fell in love with. When we got married, we bought the Jim Dale narrated books, on CDs. We listened to them at night when we went to bed, and Dale is one…
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how we teach our kids responsibility. I’ve found that opportunities to teach are available on a near constant basis. I find that sometimes the most memorable and meaningful times come from when we make mistakes. I would prefer my kids make mistakes while they’re young, and learn…
I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the days until spring break. We have two weeks for spring break, and my girls and I love vacations. We enjoy turning off our alarms, and following whatever pops into our heads. With that said, we do like to have a bit of structure, so that we have definite plans…
My daughters still love to snuggle with me in bed. I’m supremely grateful that they still enjoy my company, and I admit, I love snuggling because, it’s very close to napping. In our family we like to offer constant, daily moments of love to each other, because love is action. That action is as simple as a hug, a…
Sacramento families, get excited! I am falling over myself in anticipation, as CAMP EDMO summer camp, debuts in Sacramento 2016. Why? Sit down, grab a cup of hot tea, and let’s chat. A few years ago my daughters were able to attend a summer camp in the Bay Area that was fun and educational. They…
I’m the first to admit. I’m not good at toy organization. I’m good with other types of organization, but toys, heavens, they make me tired. I vacillate between wanting our LEGOS readily available for my daughters to see, and enjoy, or hiding them so the chaos doesn’t drive me crazy. We bought LEGOS for heavens sake, they should…
