I Thought That Face Looked Familiar

The Incident

It’s been awhile since I posted here. More on that in another post entitled ‘Summer Happened’. It’s been a nice hiatus but now it’s good to be back writing… It happened on a Monday. During P.E. The “Incident”. Up to now, in her brief 6 years on this planet, Maddie has cruised through life incident-free. [...]

Moving On Up

Maddie is graduating Kindergarten today! Yay! Or, should I say, she will be ‘advancing’ to the next grade level. She will be ascending the great academic ladder, trading in her letter K for a number 1, and moving from a half day to a full day. It is a proud and happy moment for us all, [...]

Wave At The Bus

This is GREAT!!  

Reflections On Time: Part II

I am amazed that anyone who calls themselves a PARENT has the time to read this blog right now. In fact, I can’t even believe I had a free moment to sit down and write it. And I am really astounded that any parent could publish a column, or a book, or do ANYTHING that [...]

Maddie & Juliet: The Movie

I’ve been having way too much fun with the “movie trailer” feature in iMovie lately. They make it SO easy! You can choose from an array of themes, plug in your own text and video clips, and voila! I made this one in under 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Just Another Successful Parenting Mission

Juliet was tired. I think. And she was still nursing a cold. It was just the two of us, lounging around the house on a rainy day. Maddie was at school, due to be picked up in 45 minutes. I began to strategize my next mission. As any parent, cook or professional jewel thief will [...]

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Unbeknownst to her, my sister has played an ENORMOUS part in the raising of our daughters. Even though my younger sibling lives a mere two states away, she is here, every day, almost every hour, in the parenting choices I make for Maddie. Or, in this case, the parenting choices I DON’T MAKE. Now I [...]
