As of Wednesday this week, I am married to a 40 year old man. I feel so old. When CandyMan turned 30, I threw him a huge surprise party, which I pulled off flawlessly. It would have been a perfect birthday had he not just had hernia surgery a few days before. Number 4-0 seemed…
Everything Looks Better on Vacation – Wordless Wednesday
I am finally back home, and trying desperately to ease my way back into normal life while simultaneously preparing to speak at a conference this weekend and get the kids ready for the first day of school on Monday. I have consigned myself to the fact that there will be no “normal” for at least…
Time With the Girls – Photostory Friday GMYBS
It’s a girl’s week at my mom’s house. Two of my 3 sisters have been here all week, along with my mom and my oldest daughter. (oh, and my dad, two of my nephews, and three of my nieces) I love spending time with these girls. Aren’t they beautiful? I am still holding out hope…
Family Road Trips: Then and Now
When I was growing up, family vacation meant one thing…..or two, depending on the season. If it was the summer, vacation meant driving to Lake Tahoe for a week at a cabin in the same neighborhood that my mom had visited with her family when she was younger. We packed our family car tight with…

I’d Buy Kids Clothes in Bulk – But I Settle for Really Good Sales
Hi, it’s Katja from Skimbaco, I’m thrilled to be guest posting about back to school shopping here! I really mean it what I said in the title; I’d buy kids clothes in bulk if I could, and in fact I did for a long time. Skimbaco used to be a children’s clothing boutique, but I…
Fijit Friends Playdate
Last week, I drove my kids up to my sister’s house for a special playdate. This was no ordinary playdate. This one included colorful necklaces and bracelets (one of which caused a mid-afternoon melt-down that made my niece absent from a bunch of the shots…), lots of music, a sparkly microphone, and two Fijit Friends™…

Mrs. Peter’s Birthday Cake Recipe
One of my kids’ all-time favorite children’s books is a picture book called The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Ann Hoberman. I checked it out from the library years ago, and in a completely out-of-character move on my part, ran to the book store to buy it for ourselves. We loved it THAT much. Synopsis…
