I loved this post because it was so honest…yes, I really am this lame… So, it happened. I was casually bribing my daughter’s cooperation with animal crackers while in line at the Target Starbucks when I saw him. Him being the teenage hottie who was taking my order for a Skinny Vanilla Latte (aka a dieter’s […]
All is Silent, All is Bright
Perfect last year, perfect this year. You’ll excuse me while I take a “week off” and repost some of the oldies, but goodies from last year. None more appropriate that today’s post. Merry Chrismas and xo, dear readers… Silent Night. Holy Night. Christ the Savior is Born.
The Enough Christmas
I’m struggling this year, I won’t lie. I want desperately to feel the glorious Christmas spirit and impart some beautiful words of cheer your way today, readers, but… This whole Christmas season I have been a beast. In fact, it’s times like these I’m super-glad I’ve nailed my husband down with a wedding ring so […]
My Christmas Gift to You!
My film skills are notoriously bad. Flipping the camera upside down, shaking the screen, forgetting it’s on and recording the carpet for 15 minutes…I do it all. Maybe someday I will get my crap together and treat you to a montage of this sweet skill. While sadly, my lack of talent precludes me from a […]
The Bud Vase
There is no shortage of rituals that began around here after my mom died last year. There is The Bracelet, which I filled you in on before. There is the fact that I keep Yankee in business by having this bizarre need to burn a candle whenever I am home for longer than a millisecond. […]
A Watched E-mail Pot Never Boils
It’s insane, really. Or maybe inane. Or maybe both. I must cumulatively check my e-mail about 30 times a day. What the heck am I looking for?? What could possibly be so very important to a 30-something suburbian mom of two under 5? Nothing, let me tell you–NOTHING. In my defense, snatching up my very […]

The VonTrapps Take Downingtown
This past Sunday we were hit with a surprise nasty little snowstorm. I say “surprise” because while the snow was well-predicted, after so many false calls for storms the past few years, no one around here believes the weather people any more. In any case, we were leaving church. I in our beater Honda Civic […]
My Christmas List
Gosh, yes, we all know that what I really want most for Christmas is more cuddly time by that gorgeous Christmas tree with my family…or with a book and a hot chocolate while I put in ear plugs and pretend I can’t hear my children. Same difference, really. But in any case, if we were […]
