Backdraft #11: Decisions, Decisions…
Pin itDrafted on February 13, 2006 It was the night before Valentine's Day and it dawned on me I hadn't gotten any special little “somethings” for my kiddos. I had intended to run to the store on my own, but in a last-minute change of plans, Olivia decided to come along. We browsed the picked [...]

Gum, Hair, an Airplane and a Tub o' Peanut Butter
Pin it“Mommy, I have gum in my hair!” These are words no mother wants to hear from a child – especially a 3-year-old girl with lots of hair. I lived these words just after we were all buckled in on the airplane 2 days ago. I felt the Rolodex in my mind flipping through options: [...]
The kids want another
Pin itA little while ago all 5 of us gathered in the living room. I fed Lucy while Daddy was on the tickle attack with the other 2. The conversation topic turned to family numbers… Joel: we need just one more. (Holds up his index finger) Me and my husband: Why??? Joel to Dad: \”It\’s [...]
