We were a family divided this weekend. My husband and seven-year-old daughter flew to Virginia to attend a family wedding. My ten-year-old son and I stayed home so he could play in a baseball tournament. Nothing says SUMMER like weddings and baseball, right? And nothing says FUNNY like the things that came out of my [Read More]
Letting Go at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Her small hand clenched mine as we wound our way up the hill. Forward. Left. Forward. Right. We were navigating the line to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyworld. My daughter, age 7, was not a daredevil and was hesitant to ride. But her dad, older brother and I believed that she would like it. [Read More]

Generation X References That My Kids Don’t Get
I gave him a hug, the young 22-year-old who was graduating from college. Arnold (not his real name) had worked for me at the University since he was an 18-year-old freshman. And here he was. Going out into the real world. He told me about his new job in Milwaukee. “Ooo,” I said excitedly. “Did [Read More]

Things I’ve Stepped On Since I’ve Had Kids
Huh. That was a new one. I looked down at my feet and the object upon which I’d just stepped. It was a plastic cup. And not a drinking cup, but a protective cup from my ten-year-old’s baseball shorts. Now how did THAT get on the living room floor? It could be the strangest thing [Read More]

How to Spoil Charlotte’s Web
My seven-year-old daughter and I were sitting on the couch watching some TV. An ad for “Charlotte’s Web” came on. 7yo: Charlotte’s Web! We have that book at school! Me: It’s good, isn’t it? But sad. 7yo: I know, because of Wilbur. Me: Wilbur? I think it’s sad because Charlotte dies. 7yo: CHARLOTTE DIES? Me: [Read More]

The Mother of all Interviews about The Mother of All Meltdowns
An epic meltdown. From my daughter and me. That was one of the very first stories I shared on this blog. There was crying in the car for 20 minutes (her) and crying at a police officer (me) who dared stop us when we weren’t doing anything except trying to get home and calm down. But [Read More]

Things I Learned When My Blog Crashed
“Update Now” the button said innocently. Another update? I thought. Seems like I’ve done this several times this winter, always without a problem. Push. Crash. Fatal error. Such was my life last week when I went to update WordPress, which for the non-bloggers out there is like an app on which I write my blog. [Read More]
