Hanging by a thread, that’s what I’m doing folks. I grabbed a cheesecake from the bakery, slapped it onto a plate and took a quick picture. But I did it. Ten years ago, when blogs were still all the rage, when G-dub was pres, when we all used MySpace and AIM, I started a...
With no time to go to a gym, I worked out home. At one point, I even resorted to working out with ‘The Wiggles’ (remember those crazy Australian fellas who sang and dance to fun kids songs?) William and I would do all the Wiggles dances together and I would drop to the floor ...
Believe me, you’d rather have someone you care about bake you some cookies and eat them together rather than sit alone and bitter on the couch, easily downing a dozen while watching a Law & Order SVU Marathon. Though I do think it is a silly holiday, I also think it’s a fun holi...
I watched Ellie and Rose play with their friends and wondered what it would’ve been like to have you here with them. How I would’ve balanced holding you, playing with one of your sisters and making a plate for the other. I pondered what it would have been like if you hadn’t had...
Apart from the fact that songs and rhymes provide an easy way to regain the attention of wandering toddlers, and give sitting kids a chance to get their wiggles out in between books, they also help parents and caregivers get used to singing with their kids. ...
Scrape down the bowl then add the eggs one at a time, beating 1 minute after each addition. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Transfer the cheesecake batter on top of the Kit Kat layer, smoothing it out. Bake 35-40 minutes or until the top is firm but still wiggles a little bit...
On a map it looks delightful – continuing from the route we rode in on yesterday, the road bisects a natural preserve and wiggles around a lake before climbing up and over a pass – our first Romanian pass! Our first hint otherwise came last night when we noticed a pair of cycle ...
The cat looks up at the hoop, wiggles its behind and effortlessly leaps through the hoop and then slowly crawls back towards some dried fish. After most of the cats had performed this feat, the monk just says it is over and goes back to his deck chair. What an unusual monastery- but ...
Getting some wiggles out before the flight. We had opted for the boys to have a backpack for their Kindle Fires and a few other books and small toys for when they were on their trip. They also had headphones and some snacks (Uncrustable sandwiches and cheese sticks). We opted for them...
5:41 p.m.— I hold him for as long as he will let me before he wiggles away. He then pulls me to the bedroom to do “clock faces”, and I go in there and draw endless analog clock faces and have him name the times (5:45! 9:15! 2:30!). Then we do a little math and...
