How I would describe myself these days, and this isn’t to say I’ve always been this way or always will be this way…
I’m not really the home-maker type. I am, however, a homebody. I have a naturally lazy disposition. I don’t get bored very easily and enjoy the mundane. I don’t sew. I don’t do [...]

MIL buys these GAWD-AWFUL yogurts for Max that have crappy characters on them claiming, HE just throws these things into the cart! So funny. Why not just say, I love buying him what he wants, its part of the fun of being a grandma! Nope, that would be too much honesty. Its better to blame [...]

Turns out, there’s not much more to say about my dad’s visit. It was a shock, I got over said shock, and enjoyed his one day visit. I learned a lot about the history of my family, the reason for the demise of my parent’s relationship, and dad’s history. I saw myself in him, both [...]

What Privilege Do You Have?
I saw a blog game on a couple of Quaker blogs (this one and this one), so I thought I’d offer a similar game with a spin on class based. It’s based on an exercise developed by Will Barratt, Meagan Cahill, Angie Carlen, Minnette Huck, Drew Lurker, Stacy Ploskonka at Indiana [...]

Wow. I have a lot going on right now. I’m working on three different personal writing projects and contemplating contributing to a friend’s writing endeavors. I consider this exciting and fun. Me, the glow of the computer screen, blocking out my kid’s constant chatter for chunks of time. Nice.
Mothering Two, [...]

You know how they say you should write down everything you spend so you can see how much money you really spend? Not the amount you think you spend. Well, I started that this month and oh my, for someone who doesn’t leave the house that much, I certainly manage to spend money [...]

We are in the market for a new (to us) car. The process of looking and deciding is a mixture of fun and stress. Our price limit is $12,000.00. We can put down $4,000.00. We want the payments under $200.00/month. I think we’ll find something, eventually.
Currently, we drive a Hyundai Accent, 2002, for our “family [...]

On our way out to the beach we stopped at a local Anna Marie Island café. Max wanted a scoop of Jelly Beans and I went for a fresh fruit smoothie. We took our packed lunches (Max a Subway sandwich, chips and a chocolate chip cookie and me that smoothie) under a big tree that [...]
