“I need to bring 2 dozen of something to school for the bake sale tomorrow.”
If your house is like mine, this conversation is initiated around 10pm on a school night, and, you have to be at work early the next morning.
You can easily keep the ingredients for this quick recipe for blond brownies in stock […]
The weekend is here at last! So, why does it seem like Sunday evening rolls around in the blink of an eye?
Going to a ballgame, or, playing outside, suddenly gives way to a frenzy of homework, laundry, and, getting ready for the week ahead.
How’d that happen?
Unless you have a day extender, or, […]
Match this career dedication:
The mucous warriors ain’t got nothing on Coach Carol Russell, the coach of the Nebraska-Kearny girls basketball team. Russell attended the team’s tournament game, a mere 5 hours after giving birth.

We all know the drill: you know you should plan weekly meals, and, you really will, someday. Honest.

But, then along came children, and, I had […]

One thing I catch myself doing a lot is deferring things until the weekend or a holiday because the weekdays can be so wild when you don’t get to start the evening routine until after 6 pm.
I’m finding that it’s not just tasks that I defer, but, sometimes I feel like I’m deferring life. Much […]
This was new to me, but, according to this CareerJournal.com article, apparently, people will pick up and move their families, sometimes across the country, in order for their children to go to what they perceive as “the best” high school.
Now, while I’ve heard of people moving to a different neighborhood or county in order […]
At the risk of sounding like a working parent cliche, the past few days have been all about “so much to do, and, so little time to do it.”
We’re just going through one of those phases where it feel like all we do in the evenings is prepare for the next day. It almost makes […]
