The Appendix: Not to be confused with the appendix
Pin it??? I’ve had a bit of a bothersome belly ache lately. Sciatica? Dislocation due to an overly-motivated workout? Regardless… I’m not feeling right. Off and on. For a few days. Just a nudge of discomfort… enough for me to feel complainery… but not enough for one to feel the need to enlist the help [...]

A Song About Martin Luther King Jr. and A Big Bright Sun
Pin itSo. I found this new song. Well, new to us. Great Big World by Kari Kimmel I was in the car, taking my girls to school when I played it for them for the first time. Almost before a word was sung, Lucy squealed, “THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SONG!” The next day we [...]

Could you pick my kid out of a line-up?
Pin itIt is quite possible you could. I don’t know. Maybe. I seriously doubt you’d be able to pick my 6 year old out of a line-up. Unrelated, I think it’s stupid they only sell floofy, sparkly purple skirts and pink, fuzzy slipper boots in girl sizes. Yeah… totally unrelated. ******** Never miss a thing! Get [...]

Being 6 (and three-quarters)
Pin itI don’t remember being 6. I don’t so much need to because I can just watch my girl… Flying… And bouncing… And just plain being toothlessly happy. Bloody nose and all… What makes you happy right now? I am pretty happy I have all my teeth. And to have that happy bug for a [...]

Her two left feet… I mean SHOES.
Pin itLiterally. Ish. Actually… Two left SHOES. Before I became a mom I assumed I’d hit lows. I just had no idea that a day would come where my husband would call up the stairs and say, Hey Jenny? These shoes you want Lucy to wear… they’re both left feet. In which case I find [...]

“There’s no place like home…”
Pin itSo. My kids are pretty awesome. Cute. Talented. Charming. Over the last number of years our family has found ourselves cozily tucked into a wonderful community called: CHILDREN’S THEATRE. In fact, when my middle daughter first entered the local children’s theatre group… I made a video. It’s terrible. It is one of my first [...]

Maybe she’ll be a photographer!
Pin itMy Lucy. She’s my little buddy. And sometimes my little nemesis. And a mini-me. If I could find that one picture of me when I was her age, I would totally show you how twin-like we are. If you talk to my mom, she would testify that I drove her just as crazy as [...]

So that no one can see the laces.
Pin itDid I tell you that Lucy learned how to tie her shoes this summer? Have I ever told you that Lucy marches to the beat of her very own especially sparkly drum? She does. Recently she bounced my way and emoted, “MOM!!! I tied my shoes so no one can see my laces!” I [...]
