Which means that the time I spend at the pool is more important than ever, because it is time when the kids have my immediate… Read More

I lost my head for a minute–my apologies. Anyway, first, let us do a family update. Zoomboy is climbing the walls,… Read More

Yup. Living Promises will be out on July 4th– and I’m SO relieved to have my cover art!

Okay, yesterday was my 22nd wedding anniversary– but that’s not what I remember about this time of year. Nope. For the last 14 years, it’s been recital time.

I officially caved to laziness today– I couldn’t help it. I took the little kids to the pool yesterday to play after water aerobics, and after two hours, I was WIPED. OUT.

Okay-to recap: My last day in Florida featured breakfast at a drag show (I shit you not) which I didn’t get pictures of because I’m a weenie, and this: It was beautiful and peaceful, and the site of the best kidnapping ever. We had a lovely time–and I never in a thousand years expected to… Read More
