Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
Some of you may be surprised that I am British. I mention my British-ness here and there. A memory. An anecdote. A tale of my childhood. Probably most obvious when I meet someone. I always hear “You have the faintest smidge of an accent.” While for the most part I blog as an American...

I found a notepad the other day. It was a white, narrow-ruled letter-sized pad. Full. No empty pages. Every square inch of every page was filled with writing. The corners of the pad were curled up.

The last couple of years our NYE plans have been low key. Staying at home. Eating snacks. Playing games. Watching TV. Celebrating the ball drop. Sipping sparkling cider. Shooting off party poppers.

My kids LOVE to bake. They bake for birthdays, holidays, and just because. The older one bakes for friends at school. I don’t know how she carries a tray of cupcakes and her backpack and lunchbox, but she manages somehow. She likes sharing what she bakes with her friends. Two weekends ago, my son...

It’s the blogger’s dilemma isn’t it? We chose blogging for the flexibility and freedom. We love that we can work from home or from the office or from Starbucks or from the airport. We love that we can work around our kids and their schedules. We love the flexibility of it all. I love...
