Work Space

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Nora practically runs away from me in her rush to get to school. She is loving the cute little Montessori preschool we found for her in a renovated house, making a bunch of friends, and having such a grand old[...]

Business Decisions

As always, I am long overdue for an update on Papoose. I haven't said much about it since World Breastfeeding Week, largely because World Breastfeeding Week felt like my last-ditch effort to garner some additional support and interest in my goa[...]

Labeling a Life of Work and Family

It seems I've forgotten how to blog...and maybe dial the phone, too.  Thank goodness for Facebook where I can at least post an occasional status update or photo as a means of reassuring my mother (all the way down in Texas) that, yes, we'r[...]

Facing Failure (and Moving Past It)

It's been a while since I wrote about Papoose and my desire to support Nantucket families, so I thought I'd take a moment to update everyone on how it's going: Through the generosity of friends and family, I received $2,715 to put towards ope[...]

March!

We've already used up two days of March and I still can't believe it.  I know I say it all the time...but where did the time go?  I'm always amazed at how short February is, the last full month of winter and now spring is just around the corne[...]

Job Skills

One of the arguments against stay-at-home parenting that I hear is what a career killer it is to be out of the workforce for a number of years.  Sometimes, it's said that the impact of SAH parenting is worse for men because it's unexpected for[...]

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
