Love, Katelyn and Paige (Audrey says hello from across the room, bouncing her little butt off in her Baby Einstein bouncer).

I really just want a double shot, whole milk pumpkin spice latte. A deep tissue massage. A bit of shopping. Some lovely salmon paired with wine. Baby cuddle time. Peace and calm. But, it’s 5:00 a.m. on a Thursday, I’ve been up since 2:40, and I suppose it’s time to get on with it!

Time flies, it really does. It flies when you wish for it to stand still and it ekes by when you are groveling at it’s feet, begging that it steps hard on the gas pedal. This weekend I’ve learned or at least advanced at one of life’s most important lessons. Appreciate. Cherish. Cherish people, cherish [...]

I’ve eaten yet another peanut butter sandwich (but this time, with grape jam! On an English muffin, rather than wheat!). Babies are sleeping (amazing how precious they are, the smiles crumble me). The house is cleaned, thanks to a gracious husband. The crazy curls that grow from my skull have been washed, burned, and tamed [...]

A loss is a loss no matter which way you cut it. This weekend has been a real thriller. I’d quite like for it to be over. I watched a brilliant movie last night, “Hannah”. In retrospect, I doubt it deserves the word “brilliant”, but a bottle of wine and a killer soundtrack made for [...]
