As spring begins to unfold in our region, the next school year may seem like it’s a long time away. But it’s not too soon to start thinking about your child’s first day of kindergarten this fall. In fact, the most important date for parents of rising kindergarteners – children who are 5 years old […]
Balmy Snow Activities?
February 11, 2014 By
There is only so much time you can spend outside in the cold snow. So what can you do once your kids have exhausted the requisite outdoor snow activities, such as sledding, snowball fights, making snow angels and snowmen, and climbing those mega snow mountains here in RVA*? Sip some hot chocolate and bring the […]
Where to Sled in Richmond
February 11, 2014 By
Snow (again) in Richmond. It’s a (sometimes) rare chance to grab that sled and hit the “slopes” We’ve made a list of some great places to sled around town when school is out (because it will be). Please note that parks close at dark and it’s prohibited to sled on something weird like a sheet […]
Valentine’s Day 2014
February 3, 2014 By
Ah, Valentine’s Day. That special day that comes each year when you express your love for that special someone with flowers, chocolates, and a romantic dinner. Or, when you decide that pizza and a kids movie at home is just as romantic, because the hassle of finding a babysitter and changing into clothes not […]

It had been on our calendar for weeks, and even though I’ve […]

A Jolly Holly-Day
October 31, 2013 By
…or alternately titled, Another Twin Call to Poison Control Our twin tale begins with a gorgeous day in Virginia, and an overly confident mommy of 30-month old twins. Feeling proud of my twosome for their new-found adherence to correction and commands, I decided to gamely venture into our backyard for an outdoor playfest. Ratio? One […]
Richmond is NOT the South
October 15, 2013 By
In direct contrast to native Richmonders (and perhaps my better judgment), I feel that it must be said: Richmond, VA is NOT the South. My husband, son and I moved to Richmond in June of 2010. We came into this city knowing no one, and left all of our family and friends 10 hours behind […]
Two Babies. Two Towers. Twelve Years
September 11, 2013 By
It was a Tuesday. Our twins’ very first one. That morning at home began much like the delirious days preceding it: a 7:30am awkward and anxious tandem nursing, followed by double baby burping and dual diapering. As a first-time mom, I was adrift in the new-parent paranoia and hyper analysis of every hiccup and twitch […]
