32 years and counting

He’s growing up to be like me – thrilled [...]

I am so sleep deprived with my sick baby girl that I just ate an extremely moldy cupcake…That is, a big bite went into my mouth and I thought “this does not taste right” and THEN I looked at what was left in my hand. A big green fuzzy chocolate pre-packaged hostess cupcake. I did [...]

new york city
On Saturday we decided to take the kids on a day trip to nyc, so we woke up nice and early and drove to Poughkeepsie to catch a train there so that we wouldn’t have to find parking in the city (and also so Edison could ride a train – something he is always asking [...]
