My seven-year-old daughter is chomping at the bit, dying to make her First Communion. Or, more accurately, dying to dress up in the fancy white dress and veil for the day. One more year… My eight-year-old son did make his First Communion earlier this month. As you know if you’ve read this blog at all, [...]
I gravitate to old-fashioned, classic kids’ clothing and shoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love modern, fun and funky as much as the next person. But it’s this kind of stuff that tugs at my heartstrings (and, well, my ovaries. Don’t tell my husband. He’ll have a freakin’ coronary. Four kids is enough for [...]
I – very stupidly – got my first sunburn of the season this weekend. Sitting out at my son’s soccer game. My kids, of course, were slathered in sunscreen – by me – and were well-protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Amazing, isn’t it, how moms watch out for their kids’ health and safety and [...]
Maybe it’s because I’m the mom of three boys (and one girl – but the point of this is the boys). Maybe it’s because I’m married to a corporate-world-by-day, wannabe-rock-star-guitar-player-by-night.

Did you know that CWDKids carries at least 24 different items with skulls on them? Really! They do! I know this because I searched “skulls” on their site in order to find one stinkin’ shirt and had to wade through 24 instead. I know this is probably the most exciting thing you’ve read on the [...]
My younger sister is going to be in D.C. for the inauguration later this month. I’m willing to bet that she’ll come home with at least one new Obama-related t-shirt. The official inauguration committee is offering these t-shirts on their website for kids – one in blue and one in pink: Available at the Official [...]
I miss Cape Cod in the summertime. Can you tell it’s nasty and winter-y here in the Midwest? My fingertips are cold as I type this. And I long for an ocean breeze from the east while sitting on Lighthouse Beach in Chatham after an early dinner of clam chowder and lobster rolls. But I [...]
