Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
I wish I could say I love holidays as much as I am supposed to. Hanging six stockings instead of seven and filling one less Easter basket is enough to make me want to pull the covers over my head and wake up once the fridge is full of leftovers. But I have a wonderful husband […]

We’ve been snowed in long enough to attempt crafts. I’ve even handed over the stapler to people under the age of 18 and we managed to come up with a sweet St. Patrick’s Day garland to hang on my favorite fireplace mantel. The kids and I made the cutest St. Patrick’s Day garland and they […]
It’s find-a-cute-but-not-too-cute-Valentine round one. Having a kindergarten boy apparently means that I have a whole new set of rules to follow. We are working on a compromise between Valentine cards that do not contain any mention of bodily functions and something short and sweet, casually mentioning he’s not ready for marriage to his current six […]
We’re working hard at being without power or snowed in or iced over for almost three weeks now. I’m taking extra Vitamin D and B12 and thinking about the word zen as I wonder if you can hear the money being sucked into the vacuum as we try to dig out from Lego towers and […]
If I had to dream up the perfect day it would include sun and sand and a fruity drink and a book to read or maybe a warm cottage with a fire and wine and a book to read or even just a few hours in a coffee shop with a latte and a book […]
Oh hi, I actually didn’t forget about my blog, an ice storm has left us without power and internet (gasp) since last weekend. I’m blogging during the five minutes of internet connection that may or may not last for five minutes after that so am squeezing in a quick I hope everyone had a great […]
Saturday morning we had to be at a Santa breakfast by 9:30 which is totally doable during the week but absolutely impossible on the weekend even with the improved adult to children ratio. As we drove to breakfast hoping to pretend our reservation was at 10, it started snowing. I did my usual “look it’s […]
***Updated 11/22 with current needs*** Can you believe it’s November already? I feel like just yesterday I was stressed out over the beginning of the school year. Or maybe that was yesterday and I’m still wishing for an extra five minutes of sleep and a Sunday night without a frantic trip to the store for […]
I might as well give you the two week warning that my baby will be four very soon. I’ve been watching him drift off to sleep and picking him up too much and looking at old photos and trying to get out the sentence “we should have one mo…” before my husband interrupts with “you. […]
