December Meal Plan and Going With the Flow
It’s hard to meal plan for December. Not impossible, but harder than it should be. With the big Christmas/New Year’s celebrations happening at the end of the month, there’s effectively a full week — at least in our lives — … Continue reading

Onward Ho Ho Ho!
Another Thanksgiving is safely behind us, which means that it’s time to forge onward, without a pause for reflection or catching of breath, towards the next big thing. I’ve realized, since having kids, that the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas … Continue reading

Happy Thanksgiving
It’s a festive day. I woke up to a house that still smelled like turkey from yesterday’s roasting of the Preschool feast, and better yet, I could bask in the assurance that said turkey was actually DONE, turned out well, … Continue reading

My Very First Thanksgiving Turkey
I made it with my own two little hands. It’s in the oven right now, roasting, so I sadly cannot tell you — yet — whether or not it turned out well. But it’s a Thanksgiving turkey, and it’s in … Continue reading

Things That Haven’t Killed My Kids
Sometimes it’s easy, in this Red, Round, or Green World, to be a little too idyllic, or a little too self-righteous, or a little too absorbed. Sometimes it’s easy to fall into the trap of letting other people think that … Continue reading

Not So Much a Fend Night
Those who are intimately familiar with my meal plans know that Friday is Fend Night in my house. “Fend” is a term coined by my mother years ago, when I was a kid — it means that every member of … Continue reading

How Quickly it Goes: “One Treat” Blows Up
I can’t be the only one who’s been thinking about the Sarah Palin incident. Nope, not the “Russia from my house” thing, and not the shooting moose from a helicopter to make chili thing, and not the quitting-governor-before-the-term-limit thing either…those … Continue reading
