I need your advice. This past weekend, my boys and I took a trip to Baltimore and left Ashley at home with her aide. The aide has been with Ashley for five years, so I am quite comfortable with the two of them spending the weekend together. Here is a picture of Ashley and her…

Special Exposure Wednesday.
Birthday parties for sisters are fun but little princesses get tired easily and overwhelmed with big girl noise, so a little time away on the verandah, is often needed and where I found Ivy, late on Saturday afternoon.

Where do you go on summer vacation?
Before I had kids, I loved planning trips almost as much as liked going on them. Researching places, hotels and things to do were all part of the thrill. Now that we have kids, summer vacations are a whole other kind of fun, and there’s a lot less planning. That’s because Max is most comfortable…
Preschool Graduation
If your family is anything like ours, we don’t really need a reason to have a celebration… we celebrate EVERYTHING we can! Recently we celebrated Esther-Faith’s “graduation” from preschool. She has a winter birthday, so, we’ll celebrate again next year. But like I said, we celebrate EVERYTHING… even preschool graduations. When her class made it’s way…

Other kids’ birthday parties: bah, humbug
We went to the birthday part of a friend’s kid this weekend. It was at a gym. Max had a great time at his sister Sabrina’s gym party, so I was hoping he’d like this, too. Only Max had his own ideas. He didn’t want to follow what all the other kids were doing. First,…
Fathers
Today’s post is an excerpt from my book that highlights the fact that I have the best father in the whole world. THE INTERVIEW Matthew fussed in his infant seat while I struggled to put myself together. In the eight weeks since his birth, I polled my friends who had gone back to work after…
I’m just like every other mom, right?
Last Sunday we had a rough experience, or at least *I* did. Whenever something like this happens it really highlights to me how different we are from other families. It seems like in between these moments (because there are lots of them) I tend to forget how different we are. Crazy me, I just go…
