A Different Kind Of Mother’s Day

April 27, 2010

I remember my brother having a Nerf basketball set as a kid. We’d spend hours trying to dunk and shoot like the greats – Magic, Bird and Kareem – swearing that we were just as good as they were. When I got word that I was going to receive a Nerfoop Pro Basketball set for [...]

Active Play on a Rainy Day

April 27, 2010

Sitting in the house playing board games and watching TV sounds perfectly acceptable to me on a rainy day, however with two rambunctious little boys to keep entertained, that’s a recipe for wall climbing more often than not.

Tiny Prints Greetings Giveaway

April 23, 2010

Sending cards is something that I always have great intentions to do, but something always goes terribly wrong with the execution.

Trying To Let Go

April 19, 2010

I’ve been feeling as if I’m being suffocated by things lately. Our too-small house with too many people in it feels cluttered by a lifelong collection of stuff. I keep telling myself that I need to clean out the clutter and get rid of the things that we don’t need or use, but something is [...]
