(The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a story about Hudson, our beloved six year old who just happens to have an extra chromosome.) They say when the cat’s away the mice will play. And last weekend I told you about my adventures in Whitefish Bay over July 4th weekend. While I was away at the wedding,…
Whitefish Bay Adventures, Lake Michigan
I spent July 4th weekend in beautiful Whitefish Bay, WI on Lake Michigan and just had to tell you all about it today. Beautiful sights you don’t want to miss! Hello my friends — and a very happy summer weekend to you wherever you may be. I can’t even believe August is already here, can you?…
Hudson & the Little Yellow School Bus
Something sweet happened today. Very sweet. I know I told you I pressed the pause button on my weekend musings this summer, but I’ll just tell you. Real quick. So today (Thursday) is my Hudson’s last day of school. (Hudson is six years old, youngest of four boys, has Down syndrome.) The truth is, I didn’t…
Snatching Joy Wherever I Can
Hey friends, chatting about Snatching Joy Wherever I can here today. Lilacs blooming in my yard, so intoxicating! It’s been a long week for me personally and also in our city of Manchester, NH. Thursday night – a lock-down on the west end – two of our city police officers shot during the night. The officers…
Tribute to the Mamas and the not Mamas
Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. And anyone who tells you different is feeding you a big fat juicy lie. So don’t even go there. Today: a Tribute to the Mamas and the Not Mamas. I’ve had mac & cheese hurled at me. Been slapped at. Stepped on. Thrown up on in the middle of…
The Gift of Giving
This precious little girl touched me to the core and I want to tell you about her today. Just last week I was visiting New Life Home again. New Life is a local faith-based drug and alcohol rehab for women and their children that holds a very special place in my heart. For nearly a decade I’ve participated in a benefit…
Why He’s So Thankful
Hey friends, happy Thanksgiving! Hope you’re having a wonderful start to a long weekend out and about with family and friends. Snacking on turkey. Sampling mashed potatoes. (Hopefully no food fights!) I usually post recipes during the week and write on the weekends, but thought I’d take a break from all the good eats to…
Stars & Stripes
Memorial Day weekend: a great time to reflect on the Stars & Stripes, the blessings of freedom and liberty here in the USA… (If you didn’t get a chance to read the PWOC Hanscom Airfare Base post last week, catch up here and please leave a supportive comment for our wonderful military families.) “We on this continent should…
Monster in My Opu
So what is an opu anyway? The cute Hawaiian children’s book, There’s a Monster in My Opu, by children’s author Karyn Hopper will give you the scoop. Karyn, pictured above at a recent book signing, is a busy wife and mother of four who somehow finds time to write children’s books on the side. Originally from New England,…
When I Am 100
What will I do when I’m 100 years old? Great question, and so glad you asked. First of all, even though longevity runs in my family, it’s never even occurred to me that I might survive to be 100, be a centenarian. What with stress, preservatives, chemicals in the water, pesticides and pollution, I’m reminded…
