Well I took this week off work to get stuff ready for the school year. For all of the 10 years that I’ve worked and had kiddos in school, I’ve taken time off before the first of school crazies for all the usual stuff: back to school shopping, school paperwork, haircuts, yadda yadda yadda. But …
Almost a decade ago, a boss of mine said something that I’ve never forgotten. I saw him at Starbucks on my way into the office having just dropped the twins off at a private school we had enrolled them in due to their learning difference (they both have dyslexia). The school was almost 40 minutes …
I just got done listening to a great Another Mother Runner Podcast where they interviewed Greg McMillan about running a sub 2 hour half marathon. In the wee recesses of my brain, it’s a goal I had entertained and actually have hoped to achieve. This is what I look like when I run happy! Listening …

I’ve got some big things coming up in the next 10 days: my oldest son’s 18th birthday and then on Wednesday, the twins and I leave for our annual trip to Disney World. And no, the 18 yr old is not too happy that we are going without him but he and I are hoping …
So are you a patient person? Yeah, me neither. Looking at the ocean makes me still and patient. Which is why I need a beach house! I am so inpatient, in fact, that I once took a personality quiz for work and one of the areas for improvement it gave me was patience even noting …
A unusual peaceful moment. Not exactly sure how we managed to capture it on film. I haven’t written much about what it’s been like raising twins. And honestly, now that they’re 14 (and our oldest is 17) it’s really not that bad. But just tonight, a dear friend sent me a FB message that said: …
