An except from our dinner conversation tonight:
Duncan: I’ve got a job to do!
Daddy: What’s your job, buddy?
Duncan: My job is to cut paper.
Mummy: Oh, is Berry’s job to color on paper?
Duncan: Yes.
(This seems about right to me. After...

The kids have been making us a little crazy lately, so we decided to try doing something new today. We went to visit the Cumming Nature Center in Honeoye Falls.
Our plan was several-fold: It’s an hour drive away — farther than we’d usually...

At playdates this summer, a couple of my Mommy friends have talked about their church - book club meetings, Women’s retreats, that kind of thing. I miss going to church. Mostly I miss the fellowship, the healing that takes place, the communing with...

It’s not easy to find time to tend the garden with two little ones. Or do any singular activity, for that matter. They like to be involved.
Our backyard, tiny as it is, is now strewn with kids toys. The turtle sand box, basketball hoop, water table...

I fell in love with the Swiffer WetJet a few...

A decade ago (or more) I got interested in pesticides in food. I read Diet for a Poisoned Planet: How to Choose Safe Foods for You and Your Family and made some changes to what I eat and how I think about food.
One of the things that struck me was reading...

I have the best life.
I complain a lot to my online mommy friends that I need to quit chatting and get working. Really I’m only “complaining” because I like talking to people. In an office environment, I’d spend some time talking...

Life just keeps going by. I know it’s supposed to do that and it’d be very bad if it didn’t.
But I half-compose blog posts in my head - when I’m falling asleep or am in the shower or cuddling a baby. Unfortunately, we don’t...
