Our Best Life

Ever since we first discovered them, Clark and Luci have loooooved peg dolls. The only way I know to explain the obsession is to equate them to those old Fischer Price characters from the 1970s. I know – I’m dating myself. But do you remember them? They really were, in essence, peg dolls – they had no arms, no legs and I’m not sure that I ever even noticed! I loved them! I remember playing with them for hours. Well now, you can not only make your own peg dolls, but you can make your own peg doll nativity set! The Children Wanted...

Don’t you just love the Christmas Season? I grew up in a home that did the holidays right, so I have some great memories of my childhood Christmases. We never had a lot of money, but I never knew it around the holidays! My father would make a big production about getting a real tree – fake was out of the question. Then came the day-long struggle with the string of lights that had to be untangled and hung before the rest of the tree could be touched. As the children decorated the tree with our hideous school-made decorations and tinsel,...

“Mommy when are we going to get a pumpkin to carve?” We are walking through the grocery store, past the massive display of pumpkins and the inevitable question comes.  Clark had been hounding me for weeks and I had put it off as long as I was able.  I was going to have to carve a pumpkin.  Now, I know that there are some folks who love this sort of thing (and to those people, I say: “Where on earth are you when I need you?!”), but I’m not one of them. In fact, there are few things in life that...

My baby girl, Luci is turning 4 years old!  It’s my baby’s birthday and I’m making this about me. I have never been one of those Moms who falls to pieces with every milestone.  If that’s you, don’t take offense, it’s probably just my own personal defense mechanism so that I don’t have a public breakdown because of all the things that I miss as a working Mom.  For real.  But in the meantime, as other Moms were wiping their tears as they dropped their babies off at Preschool, I was high-tailing it home so I could get an awesome nap...

From the moment I learned that I was pregnant with my second child, my thought and hope has been that my children would be best friends. Not just as children, playing together, but as they grow into the teenage years and into adulthood. I want them to forge a lasting, loving friendship that will provide each other with support and understanding when they need it most. We Have to Create Our Own Reality Having grown up in a very large family, I was more than familiar with sibling rivalry - the bickering and the arguing that goes on between siblings. I was...

Clark lost his first tooth!  It was surprisingly uneventful, without days or even weeks of telltale wiggling, in fact without any drama whatsoever.  He just surprised me one morning as I came home from work, holding a little baby tooth.  He was excited and so was I, except for that tiny little voice in the back of my head that whispered like it always does, “Look at young handsome little boy!  He’s growing up so fast!” The crafty side of my brain immediately goes to Pinterest and all of the cute, fun ideas for celebrating the loss of the first tooth,...
