When we couldn’t find a good website that did a content review of kid’s books, we decided to start our own!  Okay, it didn’t go quite that smoothly….it was 3 years ago when we started.  Casey learned how to program in at least two other languages and this is actually the third rendition of the [...]

Happily ever after…

January 1, 2010

Fifteen years is (and isn’t) a long time.  When you’re 22, I guess it’s a pretty long time.  It’s long enough to shape a few dreams, let go of a few, pursue new dreams.

Who put me in charge of all this? (or: who knew being a mom was a full-time job?)

December 9, 2009

I know this isn’t going to come as a shock to most of you, but it has taken me years to figure this out. I am a reasonably bright girl, but I kept thinking that someone else was in charge of the daily running of our household. I don’t know who I thought was going [...]

You know, those grownup women who become addicted to the Twlight books after prying them out of the hands of their teenaged daughters. (Not that I [...]
