I loved having babies, but like I have said a hundred times over….I am done. So I love that my friends are still having babies and that I can hold them and smell their sweet skin and take their pictures. But I don’t have to get up with them at night. These two little girls…
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA! (Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom) We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th…
Saying Goodbye to Friends – PSF/GMYBS linky
A few years ago, a family moved in near us. I instantly hit it off with the mom, and our similarly-aged kids became best of friends. Our teens got together for loads of movie parties, our kindergarteners had Type A Conference, I took their kids (all 7 of them!) down to
Type A Conference Recap
Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
Lawrence S. Eagleburger – A Mentor and Friend
My husband wrote this article about his experiences with Lawrence Eagleburger after learning of his passing yesterday. If another more touching memorial to Mr. Eagleburger has been written, I haven’t seen it, and I thought that it should be published. I hope Mr. E knew how much CandyMan appreciated him. I first met Secretary Eagleburger…
Former Sectretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger Dies
I don’t get involved in politics and I don’t write political posts. But this report is not political. This is personal. Lawrence Eagleburger was not only a career diplomat and Secretary of State (among countless other achievements) – he was a friend and mentor. I got an email from CandyMan this morning with the news….
Barney Birthday Party (PSF Linky)
My BFF Safire, who accompanied me to BlogHer last year, won a birthday party for her kids from Sprout and PBS Kids while we were there. Her twins turned 3 at the end of April and her daughter turned 6 just a few weeks ago, so she threw an enormous combined birthday party with everyone’s…

Miss Mary’s Legacy – PSF
A year ago, my friend Mary died of cancer. I didn’t write more than a quick mention of her cancer since the day that I first heard the news. I didn’t know what to say. I still don’t know what to say, but after today, I feel like I have to say something. My heart…
