I should have taken a picture of my finally-packed suitcase and van. But in the middle of my panic attack, taking a picture was the last thing on my mind. So, as I prepare for my trip to North Carolina tomorrow morning, I’ll share this picture of my little friend from a photo shoot last…
Preparing for a Blogging Conference
In an incredible turn of events, I was able to arrange to go to Type A Parent Conference this year. And I am so far from being ready. There is always a ton to do before a trip, and I will inevitably forget to do or pack something before I leave. Times like these…
Go Camping for National Great Outdoors Month
My family didn’t go camping when I was a kid (if I remember correctly, we camped once during my childhood). I didn’t complain. I was perfectly happy with “roughing it” in our cabin down the lane from the beach at Lake Tahoe. Tahoe was our yearly Summer vacation, and I looked forward to it all…
The Need to Travel
I used to travel back home to California at least once a year. I would tote all of my little kids on the plane with me – each child had a backpack full of snacks, a sippy cup, books, blanket, and paper and crayons to keep them busy during the flight. I would manage the…
Take Your Pix Board Book Albums Review
Way back when, I was an avid scrapbooker. I still have the stickers and the paper and the gel pens to prove it. However, my scrapbooking partner moved, my life got busier, I started blogging…..and scrapbooking fell to the way side. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I got my…
80’s Costume Party with Momz Share
I’m usually not the stand-out, adventurous type, but apparently I’ll do just about anything for my local blogging friends. On Saturday, I headed north to the latest Momz Share event with a few of my favorite local bloggers. The theme was the 80s, and I made an attempt at going for the early 80s look…
Child Hunger Ends Here
There have been plenty of times in my life as a mother when I have wondered where money for milk or bread was going to come from. But somehow, thankfully, something has always fallen into place and I’ve had food to feed my kids. We’ve had challenges, but we’ve also been greatly blessed. Not every…
Where Are the Blossoms? PSF – GMYBS
After a morning blogger event in DC, I joined a few of my local blogger friends for a quick drive down to the National Mall to see the last of the season’s cherry blossoms. Note: no drive to Downtown DC can be considered “quick.” In fact 5 miles in DC will usually take about 30…
Washington DC Cherry Blossoms
I was faced with a dilemma this morning. The kids were out of school, and several of my friends had planned a trip to take all of our kids to DC for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I wanted to go. Three of my kids really wanted to go (three of my kids have best…
St. Paul Goes Mobile
Nellie Debruyn and Mary Longfellow met in a warming house down the street from the outdoor rink where their kids were playing hockey. Both long-time residents of St. Paul, Minnesota (they have each lived in the area for more than 35 years), these two friends are using their local experience, their technical prowess, and their…
