Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
I have vague memories of new movies…first run movies. Seeing those movies on opening weekend or shortly thereafter. Watching the Oscars and realizing I had seen ALL of the nominated movies. My husband and I would hear about a new movie. One call to our friends and whammo we had a date to see...

When I hang out on Twitter and Facebook, I feel like I am the last person NOT to have seen Oz The Great and Powerful. I’ve posted about Oz, but had a scheduling issue and missed the local screening. Pout. And then last weekend, my husband and I planned to see dinner and a movie...

One day, the piles around my house were of no consequence to me. I happily stacked one toy on top of the other. I stowed clothes in storage bins. I squeezed between bins of toys to get from one room to another. Stored loads of board games in the toy cupboard. Piled DVDs haphazardly...

Once upon a time I volunteered in the church nursery. I helped another mom wrangle the one- through four-year-olds while their parents were at church. I thought that looking after little ones would be easy, especially since I looked after my own little ones at home. I only volunteered once every month or so,...

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...
