Pump It Up
I knew there was a problem when I realized that my control top pantyhose were completely out of control. They snickered at me when I even glanced in their direction and then gave me that "you've got to be kidding" look. Then as I was looking at a friend's photos, I saw a plump lady wearing a suit just like... >Read More

Come and Get It
Don’t you hate it when your pantry is full of stuff, but you can’t seem to make it into a meal? I was staring blankly into the pantry one afternoon, thumping my fingers on the door, trying to figure how I could make dinner for a family of seven from half a bag of noodles, the creams from a... >Read More

The Outer Limits
My sister Gina mourned the day her youngest son was too big to fit into the grocery cart. It wasn’t one of those “my baby is growing up” mourning things. It was more like a prayer: “Lord, help us - Jake is free.”
My four-year-old nephew makes shopping an adventure. On one trip, I watched Gina gather trail... >Read More

The Finishing Touch
Have you ever had one of those days when nothing gets done? It's not that you haven't worked hard, but at the end of the day, everything looks about the same. You empty your bank account paying the bills knowing that, though the paycheck is history, the bills will be fruitful and multiply. You clean the peanut butter off... >Read More

The Grass Is Always Greener?
I was so excited when I found out our new house would have a mudroom. It took on new meaning as we tried to get our lawn started. For the seed to germinate, the sprinklers had to be going almost non-stop. That, however, makes the lawn a massive mud pit. Everytime my husband went out to move the sprinklers, he sunk into... >Read More

The Wonder Years
We had five babies in seven years. I know some of you overachievers have had more. I’m deeply impressed by your fortitude. They really were the wonder years - mostly because I sometimes wonder how we did it. We were basically in survival mode.
There were around ten (count ‘em, TEN) straight years of diapers. There were also months when... >Read More
