Updated: This giveaway is now closed. The winner is comment #5, Untypically Jia! It’s always fun when a low number wins. Less counting for me. Enjoy, Jia! ____________________________ Those who know me know how much music means to me. I listen to music constantly–while I’m working, while I’m playing, while I’m cooking dinner, and even…
It’s Not Pretty Anymore
This is what snow looks like after 1) it has sat on the road for a full week 2) on day #6, a pipe bursts, flooding the street with dirty water and clay 3) it finally gets plowed on day #7 1/2 4) and it starts snowing again The roads are a mess. The snow…
What Bloggers Do When Snowed In
(Note: This post is not full of shameless plugs for me. I’d never do that!) I’d love to say that I cleaned my house from top to bottom. That I baked with my children all day long and made crafts with them every day of our “vacation.” I DID do quite a bit of shoveling,…
Thawing…Give Me Your Best Shot
Drip. Drip. Drip. We’re thawing. Slowly. My van is still stuck behind an ever-growing pile of snow. I think the pile is now as high as the van. I am not moving it myself, no matter how badly I want to leave the house. Now it’s your turn. What did you do this week? For…
This is No Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, I woke up at a decent hour and got kids ready for school. Once upon a time, four of my kids happily marched off to school and I was left at home with my youngest. Once upon a time, I ran errands at the store, took AJ to the Resource Center,…
What a Difference a Year Makes
A year ago today, AJ and I were playing outside at the park. Without our coats on. That, my friends, is a normal February day in Maryland. The crazy weather we’ve had this week is not normal. Tonight, the snow is falling once again. By tomorrow night, there should be another 15-or-so inches on top…
Who Needs Snow Plows?
Snow plows are highly over rated. I mean….who needs them, really? Certainly not me. Especially for a little snow storm like this. (Yes, that was the view from my front steps during the storm on Saturday) This is the same view on Sunday: Can I just tell you how RELIEVED I am that I have…
Lids Don’t Make Good Snow Shoes
…And a few other educational observations from this weekend’s monster-of-a-snow storm in Maryland. But first, a before/after picture from my kitchen window: At the beginning of the storm on Friday afternoon VS 24 hours (and almost 30 inches) later 1- Never underestimate the power of snow and simple toys to keep children entertained. Our power…
Looking at the Storm With Optimism
There is a chance that this may be my last blog post for a few days. I’m sure I will miss it much more than any of you will miss me. Today and tomorrow, the storm of the century is hitting the Washington DC area, and some of our neighbors have already lost power. We…
All It’s Good For
After only 2 months….2 LONG months…..of Winter, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing that snow is good for. Sledding. Around our house, at least. You know it’s been a long Winter when even the kids are tired of snow. Apparently everyone but AJ is sick of doing this, too:…
