21 April

Today was a day for craft projects and bubble baths. For trashy romance novels, and a trip to the library to get serious books I've been waiting for forever. For the weather to go from sun to rain to spits of ice and snow to rain again.

For chocolate and stolen kisses and long phone conversations with people I love.

It was a perfect day, in fact, to turn thirty-eight. So I did.

zippity do dah day

Hey, remember my good news? The one I've been dancing around about, alternately gleeful and disbelieving, sure that someone was going to email me that this was just a joke, Jess, God, what were you thinking???

I got the green light to tell today.

I'm going to be a writer on the new Canada Moms Blog, part of the Silicon Valley Moms Blog group. And oh my gosh, you should see the list of other Canadian bloggers that will be posting there.

Seriously good company. Awesome reading material.

Check it out, okay? It's in Beta Mode (so it's kind of just a shell right now) but....SQUEEE!

poxed!!

No, not here, thank god, that particular misery is over....

I'm over here, talking about little red spots.

i'm spent

And my hands are eerily white.

Go, (she said, wagging her eyebrows) see what I've been up to.

I'll be back later.

playdate tuesday

YUM-my!

Rosey and I made cookies today. Sugar cookies. Painted cookies.

Go here and I'll tell you all about it.

autism sucks

But being told you're a whiner, and your kid is stupid? That's worse.

I wrote about Denis Leary and his highly inappropriate and moronic statements here.

playdate tuesday

I'm over here, picking dried glue off my fingers (sweet!) and beginning to decorate for Halloween...won't you join me?

Turn and face the (flu) strain

Hey, I'm over here today, talking about flu shots and how you should face the fall ch-ch-ch-changes (as David Bowie said!)

Playdate Tuesday (yes, I'm late, I KNOW)

I'm talking about easy costumes over here today.....

...and weeping a little for the days gone by when I could just put them in a costume and they'd be delighted.

Now, 'scuse me. I must go examine the fledgling blueprints for this fricken-fracken Transformers costume....

Playdate Tuesday

Go here to learn how I made collections out of clutter and finally, finally hung up my pictures....

messing around

and using a camera. C'mon over.....

Playdate

playdate tuesday

C'mon over and see what I'm forcing my kids to do now....

Crafty Tuesday

follow me over to Playdate...I'll tell you about a few disasters, and one I got right.

Oh, and I'll share two recipes that we're eating a lot of 'round here...

Playdate Tuesday

I'm over here, talking about newspaper and why rolled up 'pretty snails' make little girls' hearts sing.....

Playdate Tuesday

It'll have to be an inside playdate today, as it's cold outside.

Talkin' about gettin' messy with food coloring and shaving cream.......


And really, who doesn't want to do that??

sneaking around on you

I've been...distant lately.
Tied up in so many things. Not paying enough attention to everything.

No, there isn't someone else. Really. You know I love you!

But there is a new project.


I can't tell you how glad I am we've had this talk!

Confession is good for the soul...or something......
