(I’m still on my blog holiday (blogiday?), but there is no way my oldest child can have her first day of kindergarten and me not blog about it!)
That’s right. Madeline had her first day of kindergarten today. Her birthday is in December so she could’ve started next year. But since she said preschool was "boring" [...]

We’re here on holidays and Marc checked our blogs at the hotel computer. Mistake or not, he did.

Can I say that I should have just ended the post at the invitation, because that [...]

Marc’s and my life seems to be getting increasingly out of control lately. There’s just been too much. Of everything. And now that he’s got a week and a bit off of work, we’re noticing how out of control we’ve become. We just can’t relax and enjoy life because there is so much to do. And [...]

Can I just say "Grrrrrr!!!!!" and get it out and be done with it? My two planned things for the holiday were a massage with Voodoo Massage Lady yesterday and a facial at the Jan Richards Salon today before it closes its doors in two weeks. Since my massage was near Holbein the trip to Emerald [...]

Yesterday we went up to Emerald Lake to visit my brother and his family who were staying up there and who do we meet but Ms. Beck herself! Crazy! It was strange to run into her by pure chance and finally get to meet her. We tried to get together in October when we were [...]

First there was learning to eat.
Then came learning to fight.
And today there was a lesson in Getting Dressed 101:

Luke and I were dancing around the bedroom tonight to that great song. And as of 6pm tonight (even though the office closes at 5pm), Marc officially began his holidays. We still don’t know what we’re doing for sure, but I’m certain one of these days we’ll wake up and say "let’s go here today" and [...]

I feel like I’m living a very unhealthy lifestyle right now. And it’s not just food (we eat just fine; we could just stand to reduce our carbohydrates… mmm… carbohydrates…), it’s all-encompassing. I’m tired. I feel like I don’t have enough energy or strength to make it through the days and weeks. My body is [...]
