    Moms and dads: these are a must have. Don’t have kids? Buy them for someone who does! They’re the perfect birthday gift. Emory loves them. He loves them so much, he carries them around with him all over the house and recites each letter to us. We got ours at Target, but you can buy them…

    This is Murray. (Also known as: Murrl, Myrtle Man, Scrtichy, or Fatty Mcpherson.) As of today, I’ve posted about Murray 100 times. I had thought back around Chapter 80, that I would likely bring Tuesdays With Murray to an end once hitting 100. But now that I’m here, I am just not sure. I probably…

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post called Please Don’t Blush about how Emory had become self-conscious and stopped dancing. I have good news! My boy is back.

    My parents once lived in State College, Pennsylvania. (I lived there as well. I went to Penn State.) They have since moved on, but friends, football, and an all around wonderful town has them returning fairly regularly. I benefit from these visits as well. You see, for years my mother bought me handmade soaps from…

    Emory isn’t yet potty trained. Of course, he’s not really supposed to be, at 21 months. We do have one of those Bjorn toddler toilets and have for almost a year but we’re not militant about putting it to use. I store it in our bathroom across from the regular toilet. There have been a few…

    About 6 years ago, I had a facial done and I fell in love with the lotion the woman used on my face. Of course, I had to take a bottle of it home with me. It cost me a pretty penny. And I almost refused until she talked me into it, reassuring me that…
