Just a mere seven days ago I flew internationally with my two toddlers sans a co-parent. ME. SOLO. I survived. Here’s how. One flight down. One to go! 1. I dressed comfortably. While I admire judge all of the stiletto-stomping-mini-dress-wearing-dog-carrying ladies…

I’m home!
Thanks for patiently waiting. You guys. I was so busy I didn’t even think about blogging once. Not once. That has never happened since this blog was started in May of 2006. I mean, I think I even blogged the days…
A classic.
I can guarantee this photo will be displayed in every slideshow that ever features photos of Lila: her high school graduation, her college graduation, her wedding shower, her wedding reception, her 50th birthday, you name it. — Lila. I adore you….
Crazy busy. Go, go, go!
These little ladies and I are leavin’ on a jet plane on Thursday morning at 6:30 AM. (SIX-THIRTY IN THE MORNING THE PLANE LEAVES. I haven’t even calculated get-up time or leave-the-house time yet.) My first time flying solo with…

My friend Trophy Life has been here since Sunday and I sort of wish she’d just move in. For good. (If you knew her you’d think the same thing and then we’d be fighting over her.) Lila adores her and has…
A dream.
I want to know their handwriting. I want to sit at our dining table, long after the last bite of dessert has been eaten and the sky is dark and star-filled and I want to hear them laugh; telling me…
Shopping in Mexico. Um, pass.
I was shopping in WalMart and saw these dolls. TERRIFYING, no? That top one is giving you the stare-down right now. EEK. I mean, yikes. Nothing says, “Happy birthday little one” like a naked, possessed baby doll wearing what appears to be…
Meet our egg tree.
Vivienne and I would like to show you our Easter Egg Tree. We love it. It’s a branch we searched for on a walk. (Do you know how hard it is to find a branch here in the land of palm…
Ladies Lunes*. A busy weekend it was.
*”Lunes” means “Monday” in Español. This is my Monday update on my two sweet ladies, Lila Ross and Vivienne Kate. — I love my time with my girls on the weekend. I sort of horde it and keep to myself…
