“But it’s Summertime…”

On Saturday around dinner time I looked at Erajh and said, “Hey, maybe we should go out for some frozen yogurt tonight”.  His response?  The blankest blank stare I’ve ever received.  Then his expression changed to one as if he were looking at someone who was green with 5 heads. “What?  I like yogurt.  The [...]

Rematch

Before Erajh and I got married, we went over to visit my grandmother on the west coast of Florida.  She had been sick for a while and was in the hospital, so we went over to keep her company…because being in the hospital, especially by yourself, is not so fun.  We spent tons of time [...]

11 Ideas for Your Toddler & Preschooler’s Summer Travel Bag

Are you traveling this summer?  Going on a long flight or road trip with little kids and wondering how on Earth you’re going to keep them busy for hours on end, through bad weather, layovers, and God forbid, delayed flights?  Well, since we’ve already taken a family vacation this year, I might be able to [...]

Welcome to Another Edition of “Working Mom Guilt”

So as you may have read in my Wordless Wednesday post yesterday, Greenleigh’s dance class is over for the summer.  Oh wait, did I say over?  Well, now, that’s not exactly true… About a month ago, Greenleigh’s dance teacher handed us a packet of all the information that we’d need to get the kids ready [...]

Commuting with Contigo {Review}

You may not know this about me, but I’m a commuter.  On an average day, I drive just shy of 90 miles (roundtrip) for work, and that doesn’t include dropping off and picking up the girls from daycare.  Oh no, that’s extra.  It’s okay if you think I’m crazy, lots of people do.  But for [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Arts & Crafts

With dance class over, I’ve been looking for creative ways to fill our Saturday mornings.  I’ve considered signing the girls up for summer sessions of gymnastics or dance, but neither of those sessions start until later this month.  So when my mom showed me a flyer from AC Moore craft store offering crafts for the [...]

So This is 35…

A few weeks ago I was walking Maddie early one morning and something jogged my college memories.  I’m not sure exactly what it was – a sight, a smell, a sound, or maybe it was just that it was so early and I was so tired that my mind was prone to wander – but [...]

Just Dance!

When I was little my parents put me in dance classes – ballet and tap, once or twice a week.  I loved those classes.  And when it came time for our recital, I was super excited to take the stage.  We were dancing to “Put on a Happy Face” and had rehearsed for ever.  And [...]
