Oh hello, roast beast.  As a practicing vegetarian, I eat a lot of meat.  (I’m just practicing at the moment, still not very good at it).  As a meat eater, I eat very little meat.  As a vegan turned vegetarian … Continue reading

Christmas Traditions

It has become a tradition for us to make a trip to ABC to see Santa.  Every year it seems to get more and more adventurous, and by that I mean it gets more chaotic and stressful.  Probably has something … Continue reading

In the weeks before Christmas I mentioned to my mom that Mae had been wanting to make a wreath, and if she had time could she clip some branches off of her evergreens for us and send them in the … Continue reading

Christmas is crafting

I spent most of the winter break making paper chains with the girls.  And if I’m being honest, they weren’t much help…they got bored after 7 links, and I’d just be getting into it.  So if I’m REALLY being honest, … Continue reading

Am I being dramatic?  Forgive me, I spend 95% of my time with 3 very overemotional girls, so they tend to rub off on me (or me on them).  And forgive me, I don’t mean to complain about it.   … Continue reading

Midday today I decided to start saying ‘yes’ to my kids. Yes, you don’t have to take a nap.  Yes, you can have a cracker before dinner.  Yes, we can get a bagel. Yes, you can play a game on … Continue reading
