I write this as I sit here with a glass of Zinfandel, knowing full well that I have to be up at 5 a.m. for my daughter’s first volleyball tournament of the season. We got a notice today stating that parking at the tournament isn’t guaranteed due to the snow. Also, the building is colder…

It’s only January, and I feel overwhelmed. We just made it through the holidays, and it already feels like winter is all about living for summer. There are vacations to figure out, summer camps to book, pool memberships to buy, and pounds to lose. Meanwhile, there are bills to pay. Dinners to make. What was…

Adulting is…making resolutions that I might actually accomplish. It’s been a while since I’ve written. The holidays have consumed my brain. Somehow, now I feel like I finally have some breathing room to think outside of Christmas. In some ways, it felt like a Covid holiday. Everyone was sick (not us, save for my teenager’s…

Adulting is…asking for boring – I mean practical – holiday gifts. It’s that time of year again: LIST MAKING. From Christmas lists to New Year’s goals.

Anyways, I have honestly been eager to…

What a week it’s been. I’ve been at the pharmacy more than my kids have been in school. Between retrieving prescriptions, buying Covid tests, and various other medicines for allergies and cold symptoms, you could say the local Walgreen’s knows me well. Unfortunately, my daughter contracted Covid right when she turned 13. Not the best…

It’s that time of year again that I dread while also welcome. While it’s sad to see summer go, it’s also comforting to get back to routines. I look back on summer and think of the fun things we did as a family. I also regret some things we didn’t get to do. Every year…

I should have been prepared for it. But I didn’t realize how the cleaning and reorganizing of the playroom would hit so hard. I wanted to move my office there. Unfortunately, the size of my desk made it impossible. But I still took the opportunity to clean up foam gun darts and pick off dried…
