Today my first article for ColumbusBlack.com went live. The company and I found each other and are now working together to bring fun travel and foodie stories from a family perspective. So the background info on our first ‘adventure.’ It was a tasting with JWest Pastries. I made the mistake of telling the kids all […]

About Farts…

July 3, 2010

I can remember fondly back to the time when my husband and I began dating. We’d spend countless hours together – talking, walking hand in hand, canoodling, reading…I also remember those not so great times when natural body functions threatened to end our budding relationship. There I’d be, laying across David’s lap watching TV, reading […]

Where are My Revolutionaries? My Militants?

I’m just going to say it. Maybe I’m just feeling my political ovaries today on voting day or maybe just basic injustice has me in a tizzy, but here it goes: Where are all my revolutionaries?

It’s interesting, when the sun goes down and your children finally slip off into sleep; nothing – not firecrackers, sirens, nor someone changing their clothes and sliding them back under covers – can wake them.

Snow day fun

This is day two of Olivia’s snow day break. Yesterday I gave the girls a couple buckets, some muffin tins and a few bottles of colored water and sent them out into the snow. They had a great time, so if you’re at a loss for what to do in hour six of the snow […]

Hippie by Accident – The Family Bed

February 8, 2010

There are some things I am purposely granola-eating hippie about: liberal politics, going green, and then there are things I’m an accidental hippie like the “family bed.” I like sleep. I’m a night owl by nature, but when I finally do go to sleep I like to stay that way, which is difficult when you […]
