From our house to yours, we wish you the merriest Christmas!
A Cultural Christmas with The Nutcracker
My parents took me to see The Nutcracker ballet more than once growing up. It was big. It was grand. It was also a little weird because there was no talking. Anyhoo, I’ve never exposed my own children to this tradition. Detroit doesn’t have a ballet company (that I know of) or one that Captain [Read More]
Christmas With My Baby
I never thought it would be so nice to have a December baby. Growing up in southern California, I had no idea I’d end up living my adult life in snowy Michigan. When I was pregnant the first time, with my son, I was so happy to be expecting in the summer. I love summer–warm [Read More]

What I Don’t Want for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is this weekend and everywhere I go I’ve been bombarded by ads for jewelry, flowers, spa treatments, books, and what not. I really don’t care what my kids get me for Mother’s Day. Well, that’s not entirely true. I do care enough to hope that it’s NOT any of these: 1. A meal [Read More]
Easter 2011
I hope you all had a happy Easter! We enjoyed the long weekend together, since Chad got a half-day on Good Friday. First, we dyed Easter Eggs. Chad even got into the act this year. In fact, he drew a butt on one of Will’s eggs. From that point on, I lost both my big [Read More]
