ahhh, family
As I’m sure is true with many of you, these last two weeks have been a whirlwind of family. Mother-in-law in from Paris, my brother-in-law’s wife and two kids (that he’s been “separated” from for the past year) in from Germany. Trips back and forth between my sister-in-law’s house. Hotel stays on Christmas night. It’s… Read More
travails and travels
Our trip was very interesting. Half of it was spent with family - fun and stressful at the same time. It’s hard try to coordinate the events for 12 people and still make everyone happy. Impossible, really. The second leg was spent at Pinehurst - world renown resort with 8 golf courses. Pros: I got… Read More
Wedding gifts…

The wedding was originally scheduled for Nov., and I was super excited about going, but life happened, and they moved the date to Aug. 4, making it impossible for me to get an affordable ticket and for my husband to take off work.

(Airs on TBS in mid-July - also starring Tim Meadows!) We had a fairly successful cookout on Friday night,… Read More

Babies at Dinner Parties?
We went to a lovely dinner party last night - hosted by good friends. They had just purchased new, beautiful furniture, and they wanted to show it off a little. First let me say that I was crazily jealous of this new furniture. I’ve mentioned my five cats before, and the uselessness of getting new… Read More
More favorites…food, food, food
We’ve been eating some good stuff at my house lately, and I thought I’d share it with you other harried moms. First off, my most favorite new product (about a year old, I think): Dinner Bertolli frozen dinner in a skillet meals. There are a few different flavors of the pasta with meat, then there… Read More
