Year: 2018

I wrote a post about saying goodbye to our amazing Orangman, Tucker. The boys were there when he took his final breath. It was a decision we didn’t take lightly. Please swing by. It was difficult to write; there was a lot of crying. I miss him so much. We all do. RIP my sweet,…

The Wipers. You’re doing 70 MPH on the highway. There’s a storm up ahead. The storm is moving toward you. Since you’re also moving fast, it hits you quickly. Suddenly, it’s absolutely pouring—one of those torrential downpours. You turn the wipers on full-blast, but they do very little. The rain is coming down so violently…

Hello! LONG time no write! I wrote something for Alpha Mom about Camp Boudreaux, which is on year two and I’m only partly losing my mind. (More on that in a bit. I feel like writing.) For now, stop by, friends!

This morning we took part in our local Memorial Day parade. At one point, I ran ahead to get a shot of the kids holding the banner of one of our local preschools and right as I took the shot a few of them gleefully screamed out, “DRONE! DROOOOOONE!!!!!” Sure enough, we all looked up…

But I’m cool with starting here. NYC Will Consider Ban On Disposable Plastic Straws Incidentally, my kids often become annoyed with me whenever we go out to eat and I ask the waiter to skip the straw. They roll their eyes and say, “But Moooooooom, we like straws! Why can’t we have a straw!?” And…

My son’s elementary school variety show took place last night. Every year they bring in a new artist residency, the medium changes, but basically the kids get to learn something new and present it to the community.  This year it was a circus, which is nothing short of awesome. My son was to walk on…

We’ve never seen a rabbit in our yard. I’ve seen opossums before. Even a family of raccoons. But never a rabbit. We’ve lived in this house for three years and none of us have ever seen a rabbit. But that changed on Friday morning when Toby Joe looked outside and said, “There’s a rabbit in…

Here are some images from the March For Our Lives. I plan on writing more about the event and will do so later today. For now, please enjoy these images. What an amazing weekend. I am so glad I shared it with my children. I am so grateful to our youth. I designed a t-shirt…

We drove to D.C. yesterday to take part in March For Our Lives. The boys and I created this sign for the event. I had the idea on the drive down, designed it in Illustrator in less than 15 minutes, uploaded to my Staples account and within three hours the Staples on H Street in…

I love when nature takes over and puts everything in its place, stops us all from the constant hustle and worry and fretting over nothing—a bunch of human created drama. And why? We humans spend so much time considering the dumbest shit. We create deadlines that don’t include anything remotely close to actually dying but…
