In November of 2003, I received a letter that changed my life. A letter telling me I had been selected to be the mother of a woman’s baby. My husband and I had been waiting to adopt, and this was the moment we had been waiting for. Every November, when I see all the reminders for National ...

adoption
We are all familiar with the cliché of the male mid-life
crisis. A guy gets into his 40’s or 50’s
and suddenly has the need to acquire a trophy wife and/or trophy car. But right now we’re seeing a
different manifestation of the midlife crisis, among women in their 30’s and
40’s. ...

Thirteen years ago I was walking down the aisle. Today, as I stop to dwell on the years that have past, thinking in awe about how long thirteen years really is, I have been reminiscent of that day. I think about how young we were. Wonder if we knew what we were getting into. (Does anyone?) ...

Marriage
In my household, today is what we call Happy Heart Day. No, it isn't an early Valentine's celebration created to avoid the crowded and overpriced restaurants, nor is it an observation of the day when my husband and I discovered we'd fallen in love. No, today signifies the anniversary of the ...

I’m often bemoaning the lack of
spacing between my children. We went
from zero to three in 19 months (a singleton & twins). Like anything, you can always look on the
bright side of life (to quote “Life of Brian.”)
Bright side = the kids have somewhat similar interests since ...

My husband had some pants that needed to be repaired - sitting his wallet wore a hole through the suit pants, and because it was his favorite suit, he'd rather have it repaired than discarded - and so he asked that I take it to the tailor. I was fine with that, for I had some pants that I ...

How is it that everyone in my family feels they could use more clothes, yet I can hardly walk for the piles in my laundry room and no one is naked? And on those days when I feel as though I am constantly feeding the washing machine, trying to get a glimpse of the bottom of the basket, all ...

I don't consider myself especially crafty. I've never owned a glue gun, I don't knit, and the last traditional scrapbook I put together was more than 10 years ago. But when you have kids you dust off the Elmer's glue and start looking at household objects like paper plates and coffee filters ...

The holidays are fast approaching. Most of the stores in my area were hanging large snowflakes from the ceiling before the Halloween candy was marked down. Christmas music is already playing in some stores and the greeting card isle is already promoting anything that falls under the ...

I grew up in a military family. My father was a career Air Force officer, as was his father. My brother joined the Army a few years after high school and served two tours in Bosnia before he got out. Of course then ...

I heard a rumor that a boy was going to ask my 12 year old daughter, "S", on a date. That this rumor came to me from both "S" herself and my wife makes it fairly reliable. On Wednesday, there had been a flurry of text messages between "S" and her friends, some Facebook messages and a couple ...

What is it about this time of year that turns us all into sugar giving and sugar seeking maniacs? We have enjoyed 4 different fall or Halloween parties, and have left each party with 3 kids each carrying a huge sack of various bite sized (and sometimes full sized) bits of candy. We won a ...

I was sitting outside at a cafe enjoying lunch with my sons the other day. A gaggle of middle school girls plopped down next to us. All nine girls were dressed exactly alike: Nike running shorts in an assortment of colors, Ugg boots , black North Face fleece jackets . I can tell you that I ...

I love this time of year! What's not to love? Fall means cooler weather (Hallelujah!) and crisp, colorful nature-orange, yellow, brown, and green. Pumpkins, hayrides, scarecrows, falling leaves.... Ahhh... I really do love autumn.
Who am I kidding?!?! The real reason I love this ...

When I dreamed of becoming a mother I wondered how I would handle the many challenges that come along with the job. I wondered if I would do the same things my mother did, instill the same values, and provide the foundation for my children to grow into well adjusted adults.
Then, in August, ...

Each of my children has gone through a phase where they want to express themselves by coloring on large canvases. Unfortunately, these tend to be the surfaces upon which we least want them to color. The floor, the wall, the furniture all are exciting places for my boys to see their art work ...

Don’t EVER lie to me. I’m serious. That is something I cannot tolerate. You can hurt my feelings, forget a lunch date, change plans at the last minute or wreck my car and I’ll forgive you but I have a long memory and a deep distrust when it comes to someone who has lied. That’s a biggie ...

It seems that the old should-mothers-work-or-stay-at-home debate has begun to resurface, especially in the blogosphere. I find this debate unfortunate because not only is it a debate that cannot be won, but it's a debate that discourages women from supporting one another. Instead, it ...

Dear Scholastic VP Responsible for the Book Fair: It is Saturday night. I was supposed to spend this evening watching trash TV, eating a take out frozen custard sundae , and relaxing. Instead, that frozen custard is churning in my stomach, and I'm trying to decide how badly my 3.5 year old ...

I was hesitant to join Facebook last year but because I have many high school and college friends on board, not to mention my mother-in-law, my hairdresser, and my next door neighbor, it seemed like a great way to reconnect. I live less than an hour from my hometown, though, so I wasn’t sure ...
