Last May, my son quizzed me on my favorite cereals. He asked how I like my coffee. If there's a special fruit I like to eat for breakfast. I recall laughing, after all, when do I have time to make more than a quick bowl of cereal? Fruit?! Rarely. That Sunday morning, I awoke to whispering as my husband quietly closed the door to our bedroom, signalling me to stay in bed. So I stayed. For 30 minutes twiddling my thumbs as I was supposed to be sleeping. Finally, I heard tiny footsteps coming up … [Read more...]

On fire! A Hunger Games tribute: Mom Chic
December 23, 2011 By 17 Comments
I can't put down Hunger Games. I nearly read it on a dare as friends were curious if I'd enjoy it. As I started to read it, the fantasy part seemed so unreal that I wanted to put it down. (While I loved Harry Potter, I'm not so much a fantasy fan.) I pressed on, for all my friends that raved--and for those planning a girls night to see the movie in 2012. I'm glad I did. 3/4 of the way through and all I want to do right now is finish the book. Therefore, in honor of Katniss and Peeta, I'm … [Read more...]

They arrived a few days later at my doorstep. Instantly, Little, who is quickly becoming more of a shopping queen than me (seriously, … [Read more...]
