Birthdays are interesting days. As the mother of two and soon to be three I think about the significance of the days I gave birth to my sons and spend a lot of time these days thinking about the upcoming birth day of my daughter. Those birthing days are a few of a handful of [...]

The nights have been cool enough to sleep with the windows open this past week and we are all enjoying the respite from the intense humidity of most of August. Although I know that I’ll be pinning to be wrapped in the warm stickiness of August come, oh, about mid-February, I have to admit I [...]

A few pictures from our trip the other week to the Dells… We stayed at a resort with an indoor waterpark. Mr. G has so much fun he could hardly stand it… And me? I loved that for three whole days we didn’t have to go outside (well other than to dash to the shuttle [...]
