I don’t like Halloween. I hate scary stuff. Spiders are dumb and pumpkins shouldn’t be carved, they should be saved for Thanksgiving so that they can be elegantly displayed in Thanksgiving Harvest themes on porches and dining tables… (I know, I’m…

Today is my sister’s birthday!
In an effort to not make you cry, sweet sister, I thought I’d write a short and sweet post. First though, in preparation, Craig and I posed in our brand new automobile for a Happy Birthday greeting. We hope you…
Ladies Lunes: The Befores and the Afters.
So I haven’t written a Ladies Lunes (Ladies “Monday” in Español) since September 2nd. Seven days before my Mom died. Some of these photo are from, “Before.” Everything seems so much sweeter then… Easier. I look back at these photos and…
On Marriage: Happy 10 Year Anniversary, Craig Ross
So ten years ago on October 24th, this is what we looked like: The day before our wedding. In our kitchen. 2003. We were babies, Craig Ross. That’s you trying on your tux jacket before our wedding. Do you remember…
The Easter Bunny would be proud.
They were sitting at the counter eating their dinner on Monday. The veggie of the meal was carrots and peas, a mixture. (Or “peas and carrots” if you prefer to be like everyone else…) Me: Eat your carrots and peas,…
Things that make life easier. A compendium.
(I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to use the word “compendium.”) Ah-hem, back to my compendium. Things that make my life easier. Currently. 1. Turning off my work email on my iPhone after 5 p.m. and…
On Grief: I found a treasure
Note: I wrote this post on September 25, 16 days after my Mom died. I’ve been sharing parts of this process on my blog, but in order to protect myself, I am sharing them a couple of weeks or so after I…
Rescue dogs: Our Millie.
This is Millie. 1. We aren’t sure of her breed. (Maybe a mix of a Havanese, Pekingese, Shih tzu…. and every now and then I think she’s part Affenpinchser.). She’s strangely long. It’s odd. Like weener-dog long. Anywho, we think…
Oh, Martha Stewart. You’re just so… lovable.
My love for The Martha is nearly equivalent to my love for The Lionel. The Lionel is a purveyor of fantabulous ballads and is a genius of a musician, not to mention that incredible afro that has only further contributed…
On Grief: 14 days after.
Note: I wrote this post on September 22nd, 14 days after my Mom died. I’ve been sharing parts of this process on my blog, but in order to protect myself, I am sharing them a couple of weeks or so after I…
Product Review: The Knot Genie Brush
So Craig sent me a link and told me that I should buy this brush for our resident four-year-old Rapunzel. It’s the Knot Genie. You’ve heard of it? Yeah, me neither. As it turns out, it’s INCREDIBLE. Prior to acquiring…
Confirmation.
Last night while she was eating dinner Craig was giving me a hug. Lila: “…You guys are already married, right?” Us: “It’s true.” Her: “… Can I have more watermelon, please?” Sure, Lila. We’re married and you can have more…
