“Mommy? I sort of…I spilled some…I’m sorry.” Gabe loves salt. This morning, trying to go behind my back and steal a pinch to eat, he managed to spill the entire salt cellar (thankfully a small one) all over the kitchen floor. He tried to clean it up, futilely, before finally breaking down, finding me and [...]

From Lifehacker, “Top 10 Ways Your Brain is Sabotaging You“: You let negative feelings about putting off tasks prevent actual work. For example, if I feel guilt for not updating, it makes me not look forward to updating, and I’m trapped. Or else it’s just that there’s so, so much to talk about… Mom and [...]

Voila: usable space. You can see the closet in the bottom two shots. It’s still packed full of toys, but they’re at least organized by type (trains with trains, Playmobil with Playmobil, etc.) in boxes and bins. Very usable, if it can stay that way; I heard Gabe on the phone with each of my [...]

Ticket to Ride is a very, very fun game. And I’m not just saying that because I won. (Or because I split a bottle of Lambrusco Rossi with Eric. Yum.)

That was unexpected. Didn’t mean to take a blog break, but there you have it. Everything here is…going. Nothing wild, nothing wonderful, nothing much new. I did volunteer at a local half-Ironman triathlon last weekend, which was a lot of fun. I handed out sports drink at an aid station along the run route and [...]

This can’t work like a normal, blow-by-blow race report like I’ve written in the past; it was just too long, and too much went on to try to tell the story from beginning to end. I was so exhausted by the end of it that the details were fleeting even then, so I’ll try to [...]

Eric walked through the door a moment ago, just as I was rummaging through the pantry. “I had lunch, but I’m still hungry,” I grumped. He handed me the mail, which included a box – a free sample from Clif! What perfect timing! I don’t usually do reviews on the blog, but it just seemed [...]

Happy Father’s Day, Eric. This morning, we gave you breakfast in bed, prepared by Gabe and me, and a colorful card that Sam made himself. (GABE: “Dad, did you like my card? Sam did most of the work, but I wrote my name.“) We’re all a bit beaten and exhausted from Sam’s birthday trip to [...]

A rare appearance by him. I have so many more videos and pictures of Gabe lately, it seems, because Gabe is always all over me, yelling, “TAKE MY PICTURE!” or “MAKE A VIDEO OF ME!” Sam is more reticent. It’s nice when I can get him to share. He is just getting so big lately! [...]
