Yesterday we had our first real beach day of the season. You know, where the boys go in the water even though its beyond freezing and we stay for hours, not just for a stroll down the shore. That kind of day. It was a good start. We want more,... Continue reading

This is the constant refrain of our home. It is spoken in jest, in comfort, in fear, in terror, in pain, in sorrow, in anger, in frustration, in love, in adoration, and in laughter. It is spoken with wide eyes and wide smiles; it is screamed with rouge faces full... Continue reading

My mother wasn't one for mothering. The basics were just not her thing. That in itself, is a whole other can of worms. But is why, on Mother's Day, I find I think less of my mother and more of all the women that taught me valuable lessons. That is... Continue reading

I know. We are over blossoms, right? I understand. But I love them. They are harbingers of happiness in my book. Also they are a testament to my inability to edit. Blossom bomb. Continue reading

So here's the thing..... For the last several months I have been struggling with a bit of anxiety. It's out of the ordinary and I have been able to pin point the start to an event that happened to me earlier in the year. I do not want to get... Continue reading

Lets see. I went to tea. I took the boys to lunch per their request. We hit up the library. We birthday partied like crazy. I freaked out they are, once again, sick. There was a bunch of other stuff. But mostly I freaked out that my guys are illin'... Continue reading

Gray asked for a skyscraper building party. What is that, you may ask? I didn't even have a clear idea of what he was talking about at first. I don't know if you are aware that there are very few ideas out there on the old internet for a 5... Continue reading

I decided to forge ahead and try to have a nice St Pat's against the odds. What odds? Well, the lads have been sick, sick, sick. By Saturday I wasn't feeling very well myself. J has been super, crazy, busy at work; putting in lots of hours. Our usual St... Continue reading

I kind of wish I could say I am gearing up for a kickass St Pat's. But I'm not. The boys have been sick with nasty coughs and croup, in Keats case. Things have been... Well we have been home, the three of us, together, felling unwell, for several days... Continue reading

A bit of our weekend. This is what happens when you tell Gray and Keats to go brush their teeth.... Gray sets the whole operation up including dental floss. Keats uses 5 miles of said dental floss to create an installation piece. We went a visiting. Happiness is spending time... Continue reading

Alas, I do not think my weekend will be filled with flaky croissant goodness. I am hopeful it will be filled with warmer weather. I love, how as soon as March arrives, we in New England all start convincing ourselves that it is warm and delightful outside. It's not. It... Continue reading
