It’s that amazing time of the year when the sun is still out when I go to bed (granted, this isn’t that late) and the sky is lightening up when I go to yoga at 5. The drive home at 6:25 requires sunglasses, the sky is blue and the mornings are calm. The wind picks […]

This morning I got home from yoga a bit earlier than normal, at about 6:20, and this is what my back yard looked like: One hour later I took “weed the garden” off my to-do list. Well, the snow’s stopped now and I’m sure it will be melted by the time I pick the kids […]

Well, hello there, December! It’s absurd to say that a date snuck up on me, what with the availability of calendars and all, but the date snuck up on me. This morning the boys cracked open their Advent calendars, and here we are. December. I have so much to chat about! First: Sexiest Man Not Alive. […]
