The kids and I are off on a grand, road-tripping adventure on Friday wherein they will gorge themselves on processed foods and movies (and, don’t tell them this yet, but they will be doing Math on the road…because I don’t feel like eighteen hours in the car together is torturous enough…) If all goes according to plan […]

Like every other parent, I began my career as mom going completely and totally over the top for birthdays.

I am in a blogging funk. And also, there are five kids in my house. So I’m taking some time to stop and breathe deep. I’ll confess, as a blogger it’s kind of scary to take these little breaks from the blog. Any blogger who says they don’t care about comments or how many readers […]
