30 Days of Thanks: Friendship
Today, I am most thankful for our friends. I’m thankful for our La Leche League “friends” who get together one morning a month to support one another. I love having the opportunity to see how quickly the babies are growing and welcome new little ones. I love hearing other moms talk and being reminded of…

30 Days of Thanks: No Time for Surfing
I hope you aren’t too disappointed, but I’m going to cop out of Saturday Surfing today. The last few days have been jammed packed, and though good, they were definitely exhausting. Not only have we been busy here, with friends and toddler fun, but I’ve also been working on websites and getting more active with…

30 Days of Thanks: LZ
Two things happened today that reminded me of how thankful I am for my friend Laura: we opened a ridiculously delicious jar of cherry preserves, loving carried all the way to Nantucket from Adam’s, and I finally got a chance to go through the pictures on my computer, where I found this adorable oneof Nora…

Saying Goodbye
Today is both a happy and a sad day. Today is the last day that I will be watching Mr. T.I’ve known for a long time that Mr. T’s mama, my good friend Logan, really wanted to stay home with him. I certainly understand the feeling, having worked full-time (and then some) when Nora was…

A Saturday Blog Post
There’s no Saturday Surfing this week, because I haven’t done any surfing this week — coincidentally, that’s why there haven’t been any real blog posts since last Monday. Between us being down to just one computer at the moment (I swear it wasn’t me; just because it stopped functioning while I was using it doesn’t mean it’s my…

High Tea
I’ll admit, I went a little bit crazy planning this party right down to the tiniest detail. But, oh did I have fun. So, so much fun. High tea was the perfect excuse for me to (finally) sew something for myself and to wear one of those dresses crammed in the back of my closet.…

Nora’s Friend
Even though babysitting isn’t my ideal long-term plan, I have to say that it’s really been a good thing for our family. I’ve made a great friend in Mr. T’s mama, I get plenty of practice in juggling two children (which will come in handy someday), and Nora gets the benefit of having another child…

Ups and Downs
Given how the weekend started — with me LOSING Chris’ signed paycheck Friday night — I wasn’t expecting it to be all that great. If you had talked to me Friday evening, you would have gotten a giant dose of glass-half-empty. Not only was I mad and frustrated with myself (and more than a little…

December 4th
Today I was going to get back on track with my report cards. I haven’t written one for a while (try since October 2nd) and I really do want to make a point of regularly checking in with myself and the Housewife Challenges. Plus, it’s been a good week around here: I’m writing this in…

Missed Opportunities
In reflecting on not taking advantage of what might have been my only opportunity to directly tell a key government official everything on my mind, I couldn’t help but think about a project my friend Laura is working on. Lovelorn Poets is a really quirky blog that highlights the best poetry and messages posted to…

Question of the Week
Tuesday in town, a reporter from the Inquirer and Mirror approached us and asked if we wanted to answer the question of the week and be in the newspaper. How fun, we thought. Of course, this week’s question was, what are you thankful for? There are a ton of things that I could have said.Beachesand…

Diwali
If you know me, you know that I have a fascination with India and Indian culture, and dream of one day traveling to India. While in high school and college I dated a few Indian boys and I was an officer of the Indian Cultural Association in college (first white officer – maybe only!). While…
