Conversations with Kidzilla – How to Have a Happy Marriage
I love having conversations with my daughter. For starters, Zilla is a rather skilled conversationalist for a six-year-old. The kid knows how to have a discussion. She also has a wicked sense of humor and near-perfect comedic timing and delivery. She often stops me dead in my tracks with a snappy one-liner. But in addition…

TToT – Running Smoothly
Well, I think we may finally be up and running smoothly for the year. Even with a snow day Monday and Kidzilla home not feeling well Tuesday, the regular routine seems to be in place once again. And maybe even with some improvements in the works – who knows? I’m excited to get this list…

Sage Advice
My Grandfather was one of the wisest men I’ve ever known. He did not boast a wall full of advanced degrees. He was not a world traveler. He did not discover new planets or develop advanced technology. But he was a man who gained wisdom through experience and in turn, was glad to pass on…

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 – Between the Holidays
So here we are. It’s the end of a year once again and the beginning of a new one waits just ahead. I have been feeling rather reflective the last couple of weeks, even amidst the busy-ness of the holidays. Here between the Christmas and New Year holidays seems a good time to do that. The…

TToT – Enjoying Life!
We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…

Soup of the Week – Chicken Soup of Necessity
If you’re waiting for the spicy butternut and vegetable “stoup” recipe I promised, it’s still coming. But this week I made homemade chicken noodle soup because it was necessary. The Fab Hub is sick. (Again.) Normally, the man has the immune system of steel. He rarely gets sick and when he does, it’s like 24-hour…

TToT – Short and Sweet
Well, I had grand plans of being ready to go with this post on Friday afternoon. Don’t know what happened. Yes, I do. I’ve been denying that I’m having an RA flare for about three days now. I’m moving slowly. I just need to make up my mind to acknowledge it and get through it.…

TToT – Community
The Fab Hub rolled his eyes and sighed at me when I told him I didn’t know if I had ten things for my list this week. I’m not really sure when my husband the cynic became my husband the positive thinker. But the gesture did serve to make me realize that hearing those words out…

TToT – Mexican Delicacies and a Love Letter of Sorts
Contrary to popular rumor, I have neither left the country or this life. I have, however, been sick with round two of whatever horrible allergy-induced respiratory nonsense I’ve had lurking the last couple of weeks. I’m sure it’s allergies because, well, the symptoms just don’t add up to anything else and…corn smut. Yup, corn smut.…
