While I was in California last week, my sister flew out from New York City at the same time. She’s a whole ten years younger than me and I learn something new from her every time I see her. She was talking about dry shampoo and how high her hair gets when she uses it. [...]

Josh and I have decided to homeschool our children. It’s funny how life can change on a dime, but I think this has been coming on since before we had children. When we had our first, I remember saying that I would want to homeschool her because I couldn’t imagine sending her out into a [...]

This being my first David Lodge novel, I was not familiar with his writing style nor could I compare it with what he has done in the past. I just happened to catch the title of the book while at the library which led me to read the inside cover. I felt that I could [...]

First, I blame myself for the rose colored lenses I was wearing up until the moment I walked into the theater. How could I forget that there would be screaming little girls everywhere? I may still feel like a teen, but I am definitely in the Twilight MOM (read: old [...]

I watched the women’s beach volleyball gold medal match last night and I have to say that after the first game, I wasn’t worried at all. I knew they’d win it. The first game was just to size up the other team with their crazy Chinese fans yelling in the stands. There was a moment [...]

I just finished the latest Stephenie Meyer book, Breaking Dawn. Thank you to my family for letting me neglect them during the 15 hours it took me to read it. I don’t want to give anything away – just wanted to gloat about finishing it on the day it was released… woo hoo!
It was good. [...]

Sarah and Josh watched a program on TV about a man who learned Icelandic in less than a week. I caught glimpses of the program watching him do large calculations in his head that scientists checked (and found correct) with a calculator. That’s all I remember about the program because I didn’t sit and watch [...]

Sometimes I pick books off the shelf in the kids section of the library (I’m not a snob about what books I read) and I love going to the Book Fair at my kids’ school. It’s very easy to justify that you’re supporting the school when you buy books there. There’s also the guilt trip [...]

I really enjoyed this book by Stephenie Meyer. I’m not going to really review it because I don’t want to give anything away. I just wanted you to know that I read it… nah nuh nah nuh nah naaah! The book came out last week, I got it a couple of days later and didn’t [...]
