That’s a fairly accurate description of our weekend. Let’s start with the fun, shall we? I mean, since it’s my blog and all… Ahem. Friday night we headed to the Zoo for the Jungle Boogie concert and some animal sightseeing. And it was perfect. The weather was spectacular, the animals were in fine form and […]

There is potential for the house to implode! My husband is amazing – seriously, as husbands go, this guy is top notch. He is super involved with the kids, extremely helpful and beyond capable of spending time alone with them. But I fear I am pushing him by leaving for 8 days. So, I’m doing all […]

I’m 29 again today. It’s the weirdest thing. Last year I hit 30 and that was kind of fun. 30 felt so grown up and sophisticated, and since I was just barely out of my 20’s, it didn’t feel old. Just mature. But this birthday is a little odd. Because now I am in my […]

Okay, I’m coming out with it. I watch Jon and Kate + 8. I always feel like I need to apologize for myself when I admit to getting sucked into the mindless world of reality TV. And while I’m confessing I might as well let you know that the other reality show I watch (not […]
