kids – The Accidental Domestic Goddess

Why?!!

Why are my kids the best conversationalists at bedtime? They pull me in with tales of their day, epic philosophic quandaries, societal observations, and enticing insights of their inner world. Meanwhile, my brain is turning to mush. My nearest and dearest know that, since I became a mom of three, I turn into a pumpkinContinue reading “Why?!!”

It Is Upon Us

The last day of school lets out really early, so I made plans to keep us busy. We headed straight for the library a few towns over because it’s the largest in the area and I wanted them all to be able to have something in their hands now. While waiting for us grownups toContinue reading “It Is Upon Us”

Snow Days

We’re almost done with school for the year, which seems strange to say since all that will change is that I won’t be arguing with my older two to getContinue reading “Before We Return”

The first morning you oversleepContinue reading “Passing Time”

My Coffee Maker Broke

I woke up to my middle child crawling onto the couch with me at 5am to watch her current favorite show, Victorious. I can almost recite all the lines. We sat for a bit when I decided to make coffee and she settled in to start her school work. Ten minutes later my coffee makerContinue reading “My Coffee Maker Broke”
