My most recent review for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew is for Abraham’s Journey: A Celebration of the American Dream by Robert and Kathleen Basmadjian. From Inspiring the American Dream and published by Ambassador International, it’s “Finally, a Children’s Book that Celebrates THE AMERICAN DREAM!”. The book begins with Abraham in “the Great Recession”, […]
Improvise.
Charlie wanted to sample the fried chicken as it was coming out of the pan tonight. I warned her it was hot. Seconds later, she informed me she’d fixed it. Ruby thought her clever and joined in the fun – although it looks like she got a little napkin with her chicken!
Dear Pierce,
I love you. You know I do. But if you want a mother who is sane (and you do. You may not realize it now, but a mother who’s drooling and telling stories of your blow-outs and temper tantrums to potential spouses will make you wish you’d been nicer to me.) you have to slow […]
Poor girl.
Being sick is tough business. She didn’t even make it out of the bathroom.
These are the days. Some are harder than other.
For the last four days, my house has been a sick zone. Charlotte, Ruby, and Sterling have all lost their innards more times than I can count. Eden complained of a stomach ache but I have yet to see the same symptoms erupting from her. (Being sick might just be a good excuse to curl […]

Pajama Crew
That Tonka truck has provided more hours of entertainment, more races around the living room, more “rides” than even my stroller, I think. Silly children.
Dirty reflections.
I’ve always considered myself to be a non-procrastinator. I hate having things hanging over me. But today, my mop water told me I’ve been lying to myself. I’d only mopped half of the kitchen floor when I took that photo. Ugh. Stark realities.
Today in short stories.
Certain to speed things along: A two year old knocking on the (only) bathroom door, announcing her need to relieve herself, being told to wait, and then hearing her song. “I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting to PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Oh dear. Ruby asked Sterling if he’d like to play house with her. “Sure. You […]
