Chris started back at DWTS last week. He came home one night and the following conversation took place: "…so I showed some people your blog at work today" he says. "What…who the what?? My blog….you mean that old thing?""Yeah, today at the dance rehearsal""What on earth prompted you to show them my blog? How did…

 As I mentioned in the previous post, the Nielsons were in an airplane crash Saturday, August 16th. The Neilsons are the parents to 4 over-the-top adorable children (aged 1-6) and live in Arizona. They are both hospitalized with severe burns and have months and months of recovery ahead of them. I  am organizing a benefit sale where all…

He was so excited to let them go. "There they go, off to our friends!! 'Cos balloons know the right way to go, right Mama?"

So you'd better look out. We are here. Henry's been sick for 2 weeks. We discovered on Tues. that he's got an ear-infection. Kate hasn't pooped for 5 days.

Yesterday my girlfriend Heidi & I took the kids to this great place out in Pasadena called "Kidspace." I'd only recently heard about it and have to say it was very cool. There was lots to climb on, gigantic leaves to watercolor, dark tunnels to run in, giant tents to see the stars in and…

  **I'm giving away (5) 1-year subscriptions to Better Homes and Gardens. You can enter on my blog between 10-3-11 to 10-6-11 by clicking here** Every Sunday it's the same story: I have nothing to wear. The closet, in mere seconds, looks as if it were hit by a tornado. I tear it apart hoping…

Henry is at a really great age. He’s very much into imaginative play, building forts, space and planets, bones and dinosaurs. We bought him his first board games this month: Candy Land & Chutes and Ladders. While this is a fun age, it’s also a crucial one. I’m realizing that my role as his Mother…
