I’ve never really sat down and written about my experience on 9/11. But as I biked my kids to school today on a day eerily similar to that day, I felt the need to get my memories on “paper”. Compared to many, my experience was pretty mundane. I wasn’t in NYC or working in the…

Three Packages Thursday
As you can imagine, after two full weeks out of the house, we returned home to quite a bit of mail. One of my personality quirks is that I must go through the mail as soon as we get home, no matter how late it is. We got home around 11:30 EST on Tuesday night,…
Three Things Thursday
I’m sure someday soon I’ll actually have a coherent post. Today is not that day. Between end of school activities, trying to wrap up all my client work to go off the grid for a week (Ack!), and my usual day to day stuff, I can’t seem to keep a single thought in my head…
Scattered
This post is going to be much like my brain lately – totally all over the place. We had friends over for dinner this weekend. They have three boys. Five boys is a lot of boy for one house! On the bright side, they all entertained each other, so we were able to hang out…

The good, the bad, and the PITA
The good: Last night I came home and was greeted with an email from Naturebox. I’ve been chosen as one of their Ambassadors!!! I’m really excited about this. I mean, of course, I’m excited about the fact that I get some free product, but it’s deeper than that. First, I just love their mission: healthy…
“Run Fast. Take Risks.”
Yesterday, after dropping off the big kids at elementary school, I was walking with two moms and their younger children. The kids were being typical young kids – kind of antsy, tired of waiting around while the mommies chatted and hung out. When we reached a safe area, one of the moms turned to her…
TTT: Confidence, consistency, and connections
1. Confidence – One of the best things I got out of the recent Blue Ridge Half Marathon is confidence. I’ve been questioning my ability to run far. I’ve been convinced I can never run fast again. I honestly wasn’t really sure I could even finish the race (and this was before I saw that…

Learning to say yes
I’ve spent much of my time as a parent learning when to say no. I am horrible about thinking I can accomplish everything and tend to say yes to whatever work/volunteer/kid thing that is thrown my way. Need someone to help you with a book drive? Sure. Need someone to be the Secretary of the…

TTT: Garmin gone bad, private yoga, and new states
It’s been (is still being) an expensive week around here. February is when we end up purchasing our tickets for our summer vacation + summer camps AND we are having some technology issues. Even though we save up for it and I have the money, I swear I can hear my credit card crying from…
