Thankful Thursday

May 23, 2013 13 Comments

  Happy Thankful Thursday! You may have noticed I’ve been a little more quiet thank usual around here lately… I’m around but haven’t been spending much time online. The weather has been nice so I’ve been trying to spend more time on walks and playing in the back yard with the kids. It feels like [...]

Happy Thursday friends! May is the time when commencement speeches start flooding my timeline on Twitter & Facebook. I love this time of year because it feels like a fresh start: the beginning of summer and the start of so many young graduate’s futures. One of my favorites is the commencement speech David Foster Wallace [...]

Ain’t too proud to bribe…

Pardon my English for this title but this subject is totally reminiscent of The Temptations song “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.” Except in this case I’m not begging for a second chance at love, but for a much less romantic second chance: for a 3-year-old who poops in the toilet again. You see, before we left [...]

Thank You Mom

May 11, 2013 Leave a Comment

I’ve sat here for an hour now trying to think of a way to express how much my mom means to me. I’ve written paragraphs and then deleted them because they’re just not good enough to express my love for her. Sometimes I’m a better list-maker than a writer, probably because of all those extra [...]

Thankful Thursday or Cranky Thursday

May 9, 2013 7 Comments

I’m not going to lie and say it was easy to write Thankful Thursday this week. For no good reason, except that I’m cranky and I don’t particularly feel like writing down the good things in my life. Some days I would rather sit by myself and wallow in my crankiness. Aren’t we allowed time [...]

That time a @SouthwestAir gate agent ran on the plane to yell at me.

If you’ve ever traveled with small children before you know it is not a walk in the park. We’ve been lucky in our 3 and a half years of traveling with kids because we always fly Southwest and their employees are always very friendly and accommodating. We even have their Southwest Visas for our personal and [...]

Thankful Thursday: May 2nd

May 2, 2013 7 Comments

I’m writing this on Wednesday, hours before we head back to Rhode Island. At the tail end of a vacation I always yearn for my own bed and tend to have less patience than normal but I’m trying to not get snappy and appreciate the fun we’ve had for the past week. Here is what [...]

Flying Solo with 2 Toddlers

April 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

Ok, since Jackson is a threenager he might be better labeled a “preschooler” but traveling with 2 toddlers sounds more exciting. On Tuesday, I flew solo from Rhode Island to Tampa, Florida with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, with only the help of strangers. I survived, even though it was an eventful trip.  I’ll give [...]
