So over the weekend, I made another recipe for pumpkin bread, and it was also delicious and cake-like. Unfortunately, it also totally fell in the oven. I haven’t baked something that could fall in, like, EVER. So it was a surprise. Let’s just say that it was a little DENSER than it was probably supposed [...]

On writing naked

It’s Sunday afternoon, and I’m enjoying my usual spot on the couch, next to my football-watching husband. With the noise of the game in the background, I read the paper, visit Pinterest, Tweet, and write. It’s relaxing, in a strange, noisy way. Today, for most of the 1:00 game, I wrote in fits and starts. [...]

Of pronunciation and personal preference – Or why my mom’s a saint

“I’ll get down the par-FATE glasses!” called Abby. We were making pudding – proving that by measuring out two cups of cold milk, I am indeed a domestic goddess and SuperMom. “They’re actually pronounced par-FAY,” I said. “I like to call them par-FATE. Par-FAY sounds stupid.” “It’s French. They don’t always pronounce the T at [...]

Not thankful for Mommy Guilt
November 23rd, 2010 · 4 Comments · Confession: I am SO lame, Feeling writerly, My musings, Parenting
I’m not feeling very thankful tonight. It’s not that I’m grumpy or ungrateful, exactly. More like I’m too busy. We’re all home for Thanksgiving break, and today has been a day of boredom. And whining. That, in spite of yesterday’s outing to see Megamind, I “never spend any time with” the kids. What is it [...]

The other night Charlie and I were watching Design Star on the HGTV. Which we normally view between The Ultimate Fighter and What Not to Wear. Except during football season. (Our viewing choices, they are schizophrenic.) At the end of this episode of Design Star, the network aired a commercial for a new show. At [...]

When does the Proverbs 31 woman SLEEP? -REPOST
June 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Confession: I am SO lame, Mediocre housekeeping, Parenting
With the kids home from school, I’ve been questioning my parenting even more than usual. It got me pondering, and I started to write something new. But then I remembered and reread this post from May of last year. And I decided it said most of what I was feeling AND offered me some encouragement. [...]

Rainy day Monday confession… but it’s not raining…
May 10th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Confession: I am SO lame, Linkiness, My messed-up faith in a perfect God, Roaming the blogosphere
What is it about the spiritual disciplines that I so strongly resist? I’ve been a Christ-follower for over 30 years. I know how much I benefit from keeping a regular appointment with God. It’s the only reason I get up at 5:30 a.m. every school day — ostensibly to give me time alone to pray, [...]

I hope you can forgive the absence of an original post today. I just finished six uninterrupted hours of data entry. Which reminded me of exactly how much I despise data entry. This afternoon, it seems like a good time to bring back one of my favorite posts from this blog’s early days. NOTE: You [...]

What I Learned – Kids with the sitter, catching up on twitter edition
June 15th, 2009 · 20 Comments · Confession: I am SO lame, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Parenting, What I've learned
So what have I learned this week? Besides that I’m a twoet and didn’t know it? (BWAHAHAH! Get it?!!!) No, seriously. What I learned this week is… That I have a dysfunctional relationship with guilt. How did I learn this? By spending an entire peaceful day in an empty house yesterday, while our wonderful teenage [...]
