(Bullseye: true story. I get such a kick writing about actual events. True life stories. The following actually happened to dear friends of mine, and you just can’t make this stuff up.) So hey, hope you’re having a great weekend friends! I am. Jon and I ran away to the tundra, Quebec City this weekend….
Little Star
A story about my Little Star Hudson today. (Hudson’s 5, has Down syndrome, and just got home from the hospital a few days ago.) But first, for a quick second, think of your worst fear. (Several friends recently told me their worst fear is becoming a vegetable. Which is why they’re not reading/participating in the virtual…
Civility is (not) dead
Hi friends, cheerfully chatting here today about how Civility is (not) Dead. Hope everyone’s well at your house. Things are a little crazy here in NH. Even more than usual. There’s a stomach virus “out there” that’s literally shutting down schools. It’s Thursday afternoon as I write and all my kids were sent home from school…
Say No to Say Yes
I was thinking this past week about a fascinating book I read two summers ago: Essentialism: the Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. Greg talks about paring life down to the bare essentials to accomplish more. It’s an interesting concept, and harder to put in practice than it is in theory. But first, how are you today? Happy…
Just to Make You Smile
Got some stories today. Just to Make You Smile. It was one of those crazy mornings a few weeks ago here. (I’m sure you don’t have those at your house.) There was no school because it was MLK Day, so we’d scheduled back to back dentist appointments for the boys. They weren’t exactly thrilled about it…
Hunt It Down & Kill It
Unusual things happen to me. They really do. And that’s the bottom line. Sometimes I laugh writing about them here, sometimes cry. But this is where I record the unusual things so they won’t be lost forever from what’s left of these remaining gray cells. (If you’re new here, I post recipes during the week,…
Life As a Secretly Lucid Vegetable
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion it has taken place.” Tell me friends: do you not love this quote? Oh my. You better believe my kids know it by heart. Ha. Happy weekend to everyone today! Hope you have some relaxation and down time figured into your weekend plans. We were originally…
Permission
Wasn’t sure what to name this post, so I wrote it, then came back and titled it. Permission. I think it fits, but we’ll see what you think. So here’s what’s on my mind today. Lots of people out there are still working through their resolution lists for 2016. Others are choosing a “word theme” for…
In the Waiting
Waiting. Seems to be an inevitable part of life. Twice I was reminded of this in the past week from my little Hudson. (Hudson’s five, has Down syndrome.) But first, Happy New Year friends! Happy 2016. Are you glad it’s finally here? Seriously, I’ve been Waiting for 2016 to arrive. (That and a few other…
King John Was Not A Good Man
Well hello friends, hope you had a very Merry Christmas. (Did you?) I did, thank you very much. Relaxing because I stayed in my pj’s ’til about 4 p.m. on Christmas Day. Yep, I did that. Just because I could. And I wanted to. And so did my boys. Love a laid back, relaxed Christmas…
