Posted on November 28, 2011 by goo goo dadda

Moving On Up
Posted on June 15, 2011 by goo goo dadda
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, [...]

The Secret Society of Parents: Lost
Posted on May 21, 2011 by goo goo dadda
Sometimes I like to think of parenting as an episode of Lost, which is how I feel most of the time: Think of a mysterious island inhabited entirely by a tribe of parents. None of them are really sure how they got there. They do their best to survive using what little skills they have. [...]

Reflections On Time: Part II
Posted on May 15, 2011 by goo goo dadda
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 [...]

It’s The Little Things…
Posted on May 1, 2011 by goo goo dadda
~We do not remember days, we remember moments.~ *Cesare Pavese* They tell you it’s the little things in life that can make all the difference – a nice cup of tea, a daughter’s smile, a comfy chair. I’m enjoying all of these moments in my life more and more now. Or maybe I’m just more [...]

Just Another Successful Parenting Mission
Posted on March 3, 2011 by goo goo dadda
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 [...]

Posted on February 9, 2011 by goo goo dadda
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 [...]
