I giddily greeted Olivia at the door on our workday. The giddiness dissipated when I realized Olivia was serious when she called it a “work session.” At my [...]

My kids are never gonna sit still.
January 20, 2010 By
It’s just a fact I need to deal with: my kids just ain’t the sit-still type. This realization becomes solidified anytime we choose to do any type of group activity requiring my children to follow along with a group. Most of the time, it’s just not happenin’.

Why every kid should see Princess and the Frog (and no, we’re not being paid to say this)
January 5, 2010 By
My almost-three-year old little girl (and only girl after having two boys) had never been to a movie. Until last Sunday. We braved the icy winds to see the much-talked-about Princess and the Frog at Richmond’s Bowtie Cinemas. I was surprised that my boys (seven and four) wanted to go, and even more surprised that [...]

What an ex-boyfriend’s death has taught me about second chances
