New York at Christmas

12.7.10

Lately I've really been trying to prioritize my life in terms of putting the really important things first: family, friends, my health to name a few.  I was sharing this sentiment with a girlfriend of mine last week and lamented that I hadn't yet seen my close girlfriend's baby (and ...

Thankful

11.28.10

I had such a nice Thanksgiving week/weekend.  I stayed home the day before the holiday to prepare and that was a smart move.  I was able to grocery shop (at the new Wegmans!) and get a jump on cooking that saved my sanity.  I even had an evening to myself ...

Weekend Wrap Up: Our Trip to See “Furry Vengeance”

4.27.10

This past Saturday we met some friends and took the kids to the movies; an ambitious proposition considering there were 6 kids between us.  I had my reservations about attempting the movie theater experience since we've only ever been to 2 movies with the whole crew: Shrek the Third (which ...

Getaway

Justice Ny and family invited us to join them for a weekend getaway to the Shenandoah mountains. We're all here, relaxing, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and each other's company.

When Mommy’s away princess will have her way

7.27.09

I was away for a couple days at BlogHer in Chicago (incidentally, I had a blast) and I returned from the conference a little early. Much to my surprise, I returned home and princess had had a ball. Apparently, daddy went to Sears shopping for god only knows what and ...

Saturday

7.20.09

I had the best day on Saturday. It's not often that I say that because usually, for me, the weekends are all about rushing to get all of the errands done that I don't have time for during the week. Or shuttling the kids to birthday parties that are overcrowded ...

Dashing

7.12.09

No matter what I do or how hard I try, every Sunday night it's a mad dash to get all the household stuff done on my ever-growing list. Inevitably, I am either washing clothes, folding, vacuuming or some other extremely mundane, but necessary task. One of two things has to ...

If my schedule permitted…

6.22.09

I overbooked my weekend so much that I now need a day off and I don't see one in sight for at least the next three weeks. Should I schedule a day off from life, call in sick at my job, or just close my office door for a quick ...

A Trip to the UniverSoul Circus

5.27.09

Last weekend, I was invited to bring my family to a performance of the UniverSoul Circus! It was an awesome opportunity and one that we all looked forward to because we had been to that circus before (actually, with Chatterbox but before I had Giggles) and we had a blast. ...
