Well – it doesn’t look like I’ll have time to post anything new before the Listen to Your Mother – DC show on April 28th (and speaking of that – have you bought your tickets yet?). So here is another installment of my “this could have been a blog post” series. If you haven’t…

What’s Your Status? February 2013 Facebook Upates
I have a few half written posts that I swear I will finish one of these days (except for the Christmas one – that shelf life has long since expired…) But I don’t seem to have time for more than the odd Facebook update here and there. So I guess I’ll just continue with…
What’s Your Status? (Alternatively Titled: They Coulda’ Been Great) – January 2013 Facebook Upates
Remember when we used to write regularly in our blogs and people would even READ what we wrote and possibly COMMENT? And we would read other blogs and comment and stuff too. And there would be this whole communication thing going on…what did we call it back then? OH YEAH – blogging. Now we…
Gals, Elves, Kids and Mothers
I guess I’m posting monthly now? I’m sorry – but this new job thing is kind of overwhelming. So of course, I decided to add a second job. What? That makes total sense. I’ve already abused my Facebook and Twitter privileges with this – but nothing actually exists until you mention it on your blog…
Good Omens
The other day, I burst into tears while apologizing to another mother at the pool. This was as much of a surprise for me as it was for her. While I do cry on occasion, it’s generally the result of frustration or hurt feelings – and almost exclusively reserved for my husband in the privacy…
In the Spirit
The summer if literally flying by and I have not been much of a writer. Unless you consider posting pictures of stuff I wish I could buy for myself…which I don’t. And this is largely due to the fact that I am NEVER alone. Seriously. We even have a dog now, and she follows me…
The Big Show
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. And I have a good excuse: I’ve been writing DAILY at the Listen to Your Mother DC blog. Sometimes twice a day. And to be honest, I’m exhausted. But the show is now over. I know – my Facebook friends never thought this day would come. Yes…
Hostess with the Mostess
On Saturday, I had some neighborhood friends over for a chocolate party. My pre-blogging friend Gwen (who actually does have a blog) started a little Dove Discoveries side-business. So of course I offered to host a party for her. I mean - who DOESN’T want to have a chocolate party? I got rid of Chris and the boys,…
She’s so damn smart sometimes…
A conversation that just happened two minutes ago… Eleanor: Mommy – when the tooth fairy brings Oliver a toy tonight… Me: The Tooth Fairy isn’t going to bring a toy. She did that the first few times, but I think this time, she’ll just leave a dollar. [Note: Since Oliver started losing teeth right before he…
DUS DORGE!
I’ve written about my quirky “middle child” George and his very distinctive turns of phrase. And I know I really should be working on this with him now that he’s approaching age five… But I’m sorry – it’s just so damn cute. I dread the day when he stops saying “Hey AY-body!” (“Hey everybody!“) I’ve…

Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
