2020 has been a year of major ups and downs. In some ways, it’s been the hardest year of my life, but there have been some really amazing things as well. Beer Geek and I got to go on vacation in Bermuda before the world shut down and we celebrated 25 years of marriage. Jones…

A (Summer) Day in the Life of MCM Mama
Once again, I’m joining some other bloggers to share a “Day in the Life”. I’ve done a few of these before. I’ve shared a typical school day, a day near the holidays, and a Friday complete with volunteering at Shoo’s school. Since there is no such thing as a typical day for us in the…
DC to Cape Cod or Bust
Happy Monday! I’m sitting in an inn on Nantucket Island this morning. It feels like way more than a few days since I left home! I’m doing my usual Monday linkup with Tara and Erin today to tell you about the fun I’m having. Wednesday morning, after we got the kids off to school, Beer…
Go big or go home (+ a winner)
Beer Geek has a few days of leave he has to use by the end of the year. Because this year he’s covering the office during Christmas week, he’s decided to take a few random days off between now and then. Monday was the first of those days. Being the good wife that I am,…
Get out of the heat with RevolveDC (Giveaway!)

Even going to the pool yesterday wasn’t that refreshing because the water was warm. Ugh! I like sweating because I got a…
Help a non-biker out!
We hit a new milestone in our lives recently. Both Jones and Shoo moved up a size in bikes. This means I can no longer throw Shoo’s bike in the trunk of my Civic. It also means that it’s difficult to put both of their bikes in the back of the Pilot. I have a…
Three Things Thursday
1. While they were here, my parents bought Jones his Christmas present – a new bike. The scarey thing is that he’s tall enough for a 26″ wheel with a small frame, which is a size I could ride (I’m right at the point between the small and the medium). Is it bad that I’m…
A snake in the shower (and a winner)
No, that’s not some sort of sexual euphemism. That’s how Beer Geek started his day – by finding a snake in the shower. We were all thankful it was him and not me (even though it was apparently quite small.) I would have screamed like a girl and made Jones or Shoo deal with it. …
