What a busy weekend! My kid’s activities really took a toll on our time — the three year old had 3 birthday parties! It seems like everyone in his class is turning 4 at the same time! But they were fun and all the kids had a great time! I even got to take...

This weekend is our school PTO’s largest fundraiser of the year. It’s part junk sale, part carnival, part restaurant/bar and it really does raise a good amount of money for the school. So, being a good school parent I am doing my part today by baking...

Not that I would read while driving! But a little something to flip through while I’m sitting in various parking lots waiting on kids. I really love Somerset publications! My stack is getting taller and...

Whew – oh boy! I’m taking a big, deep breath as I post this. That’s me. Having an exceptionally good hair and make-up day. And the tiniest bit of skin softening in Photoshop. My entrance hall has great light! Kelly made me do it. Take the picture at...

Trying my hand at the typical foot shot. But I thought I’d put a twist on it. Since they all came out of me at one point, their shoes are also a reflection of me (in a round-about kind of way). So here they are from the 15 year old’s 13.5s to the 10 month...

Because I had promised earlier in the summer to take them back a second time. Because, really, it’s not SO bad. Because my skinny little 6 year old who doesn’t eat anything, will eat their pizza. Because the next day they started school, for real (as...
