Healthy Habits
Kids are often the litmus test for how sane, healthy and functional our society is. Kids’ bullying is becoming more frequent and harsh? Kids are shooting other kids with guns? Kids are overweight? They are learning all of this. It is not coded in our ‘American DNA’ in case that was your theory. Kids demonstrate […]

Living
My blogging routine goes something like this: Think of something I feel like discussing, fight to find a few free minutes during nap time or after the boys’ bedtime on nights my husband has class, write. I don’t do a lot of pausing, thinking or editing. Pretty much, I just kind of swoop a net […]
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Read All About It!
I promise I am working hard on my ‘How the Heck do I Keep Grocery Prices down?!’ blog post, but I am too excited about my newest upcoming venture to keep it to myself any longer! This vlog is only about 2% fancier than the last one (I found a free video editor on my […]

The Hired Help…For Free
We are visiting my parents this weekend with a special added bonus: my in-laws are here, too. Pretty neat, huh? Yes, we are in a very fortunate situation where my parents and my in-laws get along wonderfully. Like, they visit each other even when we aren’t around. Even though they live nine hours away from […]

Forward
I have been having fantasies lately. Prints. Carpets. Color. Organization. Yes, décor fantasies. The thing is, I got pregnant at 25 years old. Then we got married once Carlitos turned one. We lived in Washington, D.C., and then moved to Maryland. Suddenly we were in Harlem. Next up, Brooklyn. Basically we have done everything backwards. […]

And Time Marches On
We spent two fabulous weeks gallivanting around the Mediterranean with our extended family, my father-in-law as host. It was amazing. A trip we will never forget. And one that I am sure I will do a photo post about sometime soon. (‘soon’ being November if you know me at all) Then, we returned last Sunday […]
Appreciating the Appreciation
“Does your husband appreciate you?!?! I sure hope so!” says an acquaintance to me as I am leaving the YMCA, Carlitos running ahead as I yell for him to STOP! and Xavi squirming to get away from the death grip I’ve got on all four limbs as I carry him down the sidewalk. Xavi continues […]
This is What Emotions Look Like, Mommy
This morning I felt like I got hit by a Mack truck. I know, original metaphor, right? (Or is that an analogy? Simply a description? Sorry – High school English failed me.) We had a fabulous St. Patrick’s Day dinner party that lingered until almost 3 am. The candles and company made it elegant, the […]

Confessions of a Hand Sanitizer Junkie
I asked Erin, from Mommy on the Spot if I could please request that she return the favor and guest post for me. I have been even more super busy than usual lately. Ironically, largely because of my two sick children that are constantly, well…sick. Like, I am soooo over sickness of any kind. I […]
