It’s December! The sun is shining! The snow is slushy! My husband’s office Christmas party is only tomorrow! I know the socially acceptable norm is to hate the office Christmas party, especially the HUSBAND’S office Christmas party, but I…don’t. Frankly, I love it. I look forward to it every year. I love dressing up, and eating […]
Naughty? Or nice?

Did you know it is 41 days until Christmas? That’s less than six weeks! Squee! I am feeling extraordinarily festive today. We put up the exterior decorations – and by “we” I mean “my husband” – and I have been bustling around figuring out how many family pictures to print for the Christmas cards and […]

Did you survive Halloween? Honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure we were going to make it through the day yesterday. The kids were completely wired with Trick or Treating on the horizon.

No matter what, you probably did not consume sour milk.

It’s been a strange week. If you were to run an ultraviolet light over our house, doubtless there would be an offensive amount of germs and viruses squirming on the surfaces. I myself came down with a weird 24 hour virus characterized by a high fever and narcolepsy. After sleeping a lot I felt better. […]

A little while ago, my best friend mentioned that her daughter had attended a “charity” birthday party, in which the birthday child had requested donations to a charity in lieu of gifts. This struck me as brilliant. I’ve always wanted to have a big birthday party with lots of guests, but I didn’t want to […]
