I drove up to Chicago yesterday for a Barefoot Books workshop. It was a great time! It was great to see my gal pal, Adrienne, and to meet a bunch of new friends–Rebecca, Leo, the Michelles, Ellen, Cathy, Rebecca’s father-in-law, ….
When driving home, I saw the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. The [...]

I’m calling this Part 1 because I have many favorite song lyrics. I’m listening to Dave Matthews right now, and one of my favorite all-time lyrics of this band’s is “I’d walk halfway around the world just to sit down by your side. I would do most anything, girl, to be the apple of your [...]

My oldest son seems to have an eye for photography. He loves to take pictures! What can I say? He gets it from his mommy. Most people shoot a few photos here and there when on vacation or during the holidays. It’s not unheard of for me to take about 600 photos at [...]

It’s finally here. At least I think so–a quick look at our yard tells me it is. And the temperature finally is agreeing with me a bit more, bringing to a halt (at least temporarily) that feeling of early menopause. Yikes. Do all moms with (three) little kids pour sweat every single time they have [...]
It’s fall … and I still miss fall

Ahhh. Welcome October. The crispness in the air. The smell of school bus fumes and pumpkin muffins floats in the air. But wait. I don’t see, feel or smell anything like this at all. What’s happening? Why is it still 80 degrees outside? Why is the air so heavy and the smell … hmm … [...]
