I’m a sucker for pomp and circumstance. I love a good ceremony, steeped in tradition, brimming with meaning and 1001 details that are all ironed out in the wings. Today’s inauguration of President Obama filled all those and more. I watched some and listened on the radio and there are so many people who have [...]
Enjoying the unseasonably great weather we’ve been having lately, we spent the entire morning at the park yesterday and decided to head out again today. Today, though, we opted to head out on bikes. This is monumental for a few reasons: I haven’t ridden a bike in at least 8 months, and probably not for [...]
I started socks for Gosling quite some time ago. I finished them for St Nicholas Day in December, and he found them in the morning with his brand new bright green Crocs (another story worth telling). I had intended to make matching ones for his sister in time, but it didn’t happen. I did cast [...]

Today was one of those days that makes me wonder why I’m referred to as a “stay at home mom.” We got up, dressed, breakfasted and took care of preschool drop off before heading to the husband’s office to drop off the other child so I could go to my follow up appointment with my [...]
Tweety hasn’t really ever been very fond of solid food. She would tolerate it if that was the only option, but just barely. That’s all changed in the past few weeks. Today she and I went to the grocery store for a quart of milk, a loaf of bread and a stick of butter, among [...]
