The Wink

‘puter

Neither of my daughters really like me being on the computer.Briar tolerates it if we are sharing the monitor, she on the right with her Little Einsteins or crazy obscene frog video (more on the frog thing another time) and me with a smidgen of window on the other side. I slide the keyboard [...]

Mommy Princess

I don’t know if this happens to other moms, but every once in a while I find myself thinking, “Maybe I could do something better. Maybe I could be kinder, more patient. Prettier.” Yes, prettier. You always want the best for your kids: from the laudable- best learning tools, wickedly expensive organic foods and a warm, safe [...]

Winter Hats and Goofy Giggles

Just some silly shots of playing with out new winter hats.I’d like to say that I have shown enormous restraint. Admittedly I went back on my rule about pink and yes, I’ll fess up to the fact that I have, on occasion put the girls in something that might have coordinated somewhat with something that [...]

Simply Without Words (almost)

We have two children. Two beautiful, amazing girls. I have been home for the past two days with them. Mondays I work from home, but yesterday and today I was home because the girls were both under the weather (I was too.) Being home to watch them, literally spending Saturday, Sunday, Monday and today with them [...]
