It’s my 35th birthday and the day couldn’t be more crazy or indicative of what my life is these days. I have end of school awards, play dates, kindergarten registration (SOB!), laundry, dirty dishes and somewhere in there I think I’ll be allowed to breathe.

For years (and by years I seriously mean Y-E-A-R-S) I’ve dropped subtle and not so subtle hints at my longing for a Mac laptop.

You’re welcome. Come back tomorrow for a little chat about parenting – USA vs. FRANCE. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH…. And next week is the final week I can claim to be in my early thirties. I have some plans on how to write my way into my mid-thirties. It’s better than drinking my way there, right? Happy Thursday!

We had a family movie night last night. When I announced it, the kids were all, “Really?! But it’s a school night!” I know, kids. I know. Why don’t we just play hooky? Let’s just call it a day and finish school now, whatcha think? I didn’t say that, but I cannot deny thinking it. […]

I’m busy working toward my dream of seeing my book published. I am writing and editing and pitching and querying and editing and writing and reading and pitching. I believe in this book. I believe it has great potential. I believe it needs work. I believe it’s pretty dang good. I believe it will be […]
