TToT – Soft Landing
Our start to the New Year has been a very soft landing. I think I first heard the term used in conversation when one of Kidzilla’s preschool teachers talked about giving the children a “soft landing” routine in the morning. At the time I thought, “OK whatever,” but it’s actually a nice concept. And here in…

TToT – A Positive Week (Except for the Allergies)
I’m going with an approach that has worked for TToT posting before…adding things as they happen during the week. First, I am (as of Tuesday morning) feeling better than I was even 48 hours ago. My smoothies have clearly done their work. I am less congested, coughing far less than I’ve been in the last…

So What Are You Doing Now?
That is the question of the moment in my world right now. Last week I started to feel a little better and actually got out into the human world. By now, the school year is rolling along without me standing in front of the classroom I’ve inhabited for the last fourteen years and people know…

TToT – A Big One
We have a big one to be thankful for this week, friends. Huge. The Hub’s got himself a great big full time position! It’s the same one he’s had, but we’ve moved from a part-time/temporary status to extending the term to the year to full time. That’s right. Full. Time. Job. That really ought to…

TToT – A Dizzying Week
There is certainly no dearth of thankfulness this week! So many things have happened – and happened well, at that. It’s been a good week all around. Kind of a head-spinning week, really. So while I have much to be thankful for, I found it sort of overwhelming to sort it all out, put it…

Ten Things of Thankful – Kindergarten Edition
Am I the only one who didn’t know Kindergarten is really hard? For the parents? Kidzilla is well into the rhythm of Kindergarten, but her parents are still trying to keep up. Honestly, this is one of those topics that should come with the book that doesn’t come with the baby…

Catching Up
A few days ago, Andrea wrote this post about catching up on an overwhelming number of blog posts…and why it’s important to her. Go read it. Really, go. I’ll wait. I could pretty much write the same post here – or at least a very similar one. Tonight, my blog feed told me I have…

CSA Pickup Day Dinner – Pesto Two Ways
All three of us continue to be slightly overwhelmed by the back-to-school routine. Is starting school always this hard? I’ve started back a week earlier than usual. Definitely not enjoying that part, particularly with last week’s temps and humidity. The weather has shifted, though, and I think that will make a huge difference. Kidzilla’s Kindergarten orientation…

Not Dead Yet
I’ve been absent from posting…and from reading your posts! I’m not dead yet…It’s just the first week of school and I am wrecked. So let’s go (mostly) wordless for today with a little Monty Python. Be back soon! Leave some love in the comments!

How to Magically Turn a Box of Soup into a Dinner Delicious
Has the first day of school always been this exhausting? Wow. Kidzilla made it through the first day of her new pre-K class with flying colors, despite her initial nervousness. Zilla loves school. Fab Hub and I made it through Zilla’s first day of pre-K and New Life Phase in one piece with only one minor breakdown…
