Gee Thanks, Kids

May 16, 2011

So I had been ever-so-slightly bummed about turning 40 last week. I’d referred to it as my “next 39th birthday” until it was pointed out (by my son who obviously never wants another gift as long as he lives) that I was fooling no one. And the thing is? 40 doesn’t feel so bad now [...]

Gosh, It’s Quiet Here

May 12, 2011

I’m rarely at a loss for words. I’ve found myself coming here to blog several times in the last couple of weeks only to be met with a blank page and frozen fingers. My mind is full. It’s not that. It’s just that the things bouncing around in my head are too complex for me [...]

Oh, I Do Love a Royal Wedding

April 29, 2011

This week has been a tragic week for so many in my beloved South. And my heart aches at the sight of the pictures and videos I’m seeing of the devastating aftermath of horrible storms. I have watched and wept as the images rolled across the screen. I continue to pray for healing and restoration [...]

Mangia! Mangia!

April 7, 2011

The Peapod Squad, especially Snap Pea, LOVES spaghetti. That probably makes sense given their Italian heritage. Hubby is 1st-generation Italian-American. His parents immigrated here from Southern Italy. His mom (“Grandma”) is an amazing cook. Amazing. My mom (“Nana”) has many talents. She is one of the most creative people I know. She’d be the first [...]
