Last weekend, the kids each had a sleepover. Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to schedule them both on the same night, so it kind of felt like an elementary school B&B here (except for the part where I drag my ass out of bed and cook everyone breakfast). Anyway, my buddy, Cheryl Mancine-Saltzman, who’s much more…
So just to solidly make the case that I’m absolutely off my rocker, I’m sharing the following. Actually, let me back up. Over the last couple of days, I posted some pictures of the cupcakes I helped make for a school fundraiser, and people have made some lovely comments about my decorating abilities. The thing…
My daughter isn’t in Girl Scouts, and I’m not gonna lie — it’s because I’m scared. Over the years, I’ve heard tale of cookie selling hell, and I feel like my adrenal glands are already shot as is. The last thing I need is people being pissed at me for being a bad Cookie Mom…
So every year for I don’t know how many years (I’d have to look it up) we’ve had a Chinese New Year party. It’s something my husband, Tenzin, and I always wanted to do before we had kids but never managed to pull together. Then we tried to do it after kids and could never…
I’m so psyched (I know, I sound like a teenager from 1985, but I am indeed psyched) to be introducing you to Lindy. She’s a mom from my neck of the woods, only she’s one of the cool kids who gets to live in Tahoe (there I go with the high school thing again). Apparently…
So we officially got our asses kicked by a tree yesterday. At 2 p.m., my husband, Tenzin, and I sprung the kids out of school so we could head up the mountain to cut down our Christmas tree. Tenzin is working every weekend until Christmas, so we figured this was the best solution. Get up…
So there’s a little bit of hubbub online about some people who staged a photo of their grandbaby in an oven. The way the story goes (supposedly — remember that we’re dealing with the internet here) is that the baby’s dad left the kid with the grandparents for the first time and was doing the…
So Saturday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Little background — we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we’d try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It’s owned by a family who live on their farm,…
So yesterday, after we got back from the right-winger pumpkin patch (which I’ll write about tomorrow because I just don’t have the stomach for it tonight), we had lots of plans. Lots and lots of big plans. Put up the Halloween decorations. Carve pumpkins. Blog. Get ready for our neighbor’s party. Instead, Tenzin and I…
So this is a little crazy — I’m going to be on TV. And the best part about it is, I don’t even have to leave the house! Which means I could technically stay in my yoga pants if I felt like it, and no one would be the wiser. There’s a morning-ish show here…
So come on in. I made some Arnold Palmers. And a nice jello salad...
