Work-Life Balance Interview: Meg Appleby

Last July, as I was working figuring out how to better balance my life, I started interviewing other people who seemed like they have it all together.  I always had the intent of sharing these interviews with you, so I recorded them for bot[...]

If You’re Serious About Business, You Have To Put Your Kids in Daycare

Friday, on my Facebook Page, I shared this video of Professor Robert Kelly being interviewed by the BBC, and having his children walk into the room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4f9AYRCZY It's quite the funny little moment (although p[...]

Divided Attention Is Better Than No Attention

There was a post on Motherlode last week arguing that we should give kids our undivided attention or none at all.  The author called for parents to  eliminate the "vast middle ground of half paying attention to them all the time — e.g., chec[...]

These two girls are my world.  They make me happier than anything I ever could have imagined, and I feel so lucky to have them in my life. The last few months there have been a lot of challenging mome[...]

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[...]

Report Card

This is my second report card on how I'm doing at meeting my housewife challenges.  (Remember I said I was going to hold myself accountable to you every other Sunday.) I haven't been too enthusiastic about creating challenges for myself,[...]

All Joy and Lots of Fun

Last week's New York Magazine cover article "All Joy and No Fun: Why Parents Hate Parenting" was a real downer - in case you couldn't figure that out by the title - and written by a journalist (and mother), Jennifer Senior, who definitely takes[...]

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. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
