I had an interesting post to write, but instead I cleaned and froze a zillion hand-picked strawberries. Everyone have a good weekend!

I am back from three days in New York. This was the first time J and I went and actually stayed in a hotel (his parents gave us a hotel room for J’s 40th birthday gift). Until now, it has always been a friend’s futon. I feel so grown-up. Speaking of grown-ups, I noticed on [...]

Boo has a friend over to play for the afternoon. She is adorable and having just moved from England, she has the cutest little English accent, making her sound naturally polite. How convenient for her. Especially as the two of them have been pestering me with demands all afternoon, making getting anything done difficult. So [...]

Okay, I’m being a good girl and doing that meme I was tagged for. What were you doing 10 years ago? Looking after ultra-adorable Maya at age one and trying to figure out why I just kept losing weight. I was 50 lbs lighter then, which is really hard to believe because even though I [...]

Yesterday we attended a good-bye picnic for Boo’s preschool. No more little kids here! It was actually a lot of fun, as older siblings showed up and Asher had the smarts to bring his soccer ball. He ate one piece of sushi and then played soccer for 3 hours with other brothers of (not a [...]

Jasper is still doing the thing where he refuses to walk with anyone. Yesterday, he wouldn’t come with me, so I dropped the leash and walked away again. After we got the mail, he spotted a sprinkler on someone’s lawn and found that riveting, so he dragged me over to check it out. I refused [...]

It wasn’t as humid yesterday, and is even better today, and I could even breath properly most of the time, but it is still a little too hot for my liking. Lots of sweating. Poor Jasper is suffering way worse than me, though, with that big fur coat. I got ready to pick up the [...]
