Our bodies aren’t as confused when we force them to wake up at 6am, get dressed, brush hair, find the shoes and hit the road Jack. Though they do still protest.

Day 1 was fine. Max cried for a whole like… 10 seconds when I dropped him off. And by the time I left the building he was sitting on top of the inside jungle gym thing, holding court with the other kids. Seeing that he [...]

So the last two weeks I have written about the importance of making good choices regarding road trip food and road trip entertainment when you have kids involved. A successful road trip, especially if you are [...]

There is kind of cranky, when she just sort of stares at you like you are an idiot and grunts responses to anything you ask. Then there is mid-level cranky, when she will take her blanket out of her mouth and emphatically screech “NO!” or “GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHGGG!” to my questions or [...]

Yesterday was Norah’s third birthday.

When she was born, I had all these expectations for who she would be. I’m sure that most parents do that, and I’m sure that most parents are wrong in their expectations. I know I was. Wrong wrong totally wrong. I never could have imagined how creative she [...]
