TToT – The Last Long Weekend
Friday evenings hold something glorious and exciting. But when Thursday is the new Friday and the weekend is four days long? That first evening of the weekend is even more thrilling. We’ve had quite a few long weekends since the Hub only had to go into work Tuesdays through Thursdays all summer. So here we…

TToT – Hiatus
Apparently, I’m on hiatus. Not even kidding. Look back at my blog calendar since June and you will see a significant lack of posting. The TToT still makes it in each week, but lately that’s about it. Oh, I have ideas…loads of them. Drafts, too. Half-written, abandoned, “meh, nobody will want to read this” kind…

TToT – Goodbye, July!
It has been a long and crazy month. But in a good and happy way. Most of our activity was centered on Kidzilla’s activity schedule and our little girl has been on the go! She has gained so much from these last few weeks and I think it’s safe to say that we have as…

TToT – Preoccupied
I guess you could say I’ve been a bit preoccupied. I’ve posted very little in this space in the last three weeks. I’m certain that I’m not keeping up with friends and fellow bloggers the way I’d like to, despite all the best intentions. I’ve been doing and thinking lately – a lot. I’ve stared at…

TToT – Hypo Gratitude
Hypo-gratitude. I had to check with Ivy to make sure I was getting the right term, but I think hypo-gratitude is what I have going on this week. It’s that week when you feel the forces of the universe stack against you. The dark clouds loom large and threaten at every moment to open a…

1000Speak – I Am Raising a Compassionate Child
I’m not sure how it happened. Somehow, though, I find myself the parent of a child with a compassionate heart. This little girl cares about the environment. She cares about people and animals. She wonders why and how people can be cruel to one another, whether it’s on a school playground or the world stage.…

Library Day – Checking Out the Library
I’ve been a bit MIA lately. My primary reason for being absent from this space is, simply, that we’ve been out living. My friend Ivy says that’s a damn good reason and I have to agree with her. One of our regular jaunts is to the local public library. We’ve been selecting books, of course, but also…

Library Day – How to Get Your Kid’s Nose Stuck Inside a Book
It’s library day again! For the last several weeks, I’ve been running book and reading-related posts on the blog on Tuesdays. So far you’ve seen some book reviews, author interviews, my personal musings, and more. This week I’m bringing you a guest post from a blogger friend many of you already know, Val Newman of My Virtual Vineyard. …

This Summer…
This summer is going to be different… This summer I will spend some time on a bit of the usual. I will clean out closets, scrub under the stove burners and above the kitchen cabinets, and think about having a garage sale. But this summer will also be different… I will do those usual things,…

Sweet Tea
A few weeks ago, I attended the most wonderful event. My Daughter’s class invited their moms to a Mother’s Day Tea. The handmade invitations indicated a special event was at hand. I’ll admit I was skeptical. A tea for mothers? In the first-grade classroom? With all those tiny little chairs that no self-respecting adult should…
