No More Tears

With the kind of drama Gabby and I suffer in the morning and after bathtimes, I wanna know:
Does this thing really work?
But I’m not sure I’m ready to risk $20 to find out.
Anyone?
Girl Power!

As the mom of two teenage boys, I’d like to think that somewhere out there in the universe, the mothers of my future daughters-in-law have discovered and shared with their precious princesses the wonderful new “All Things Girl” series by writing team Teresa Tomeo, Molly Miller and Monica Cops.
Having had the opportunity to review the four books and personal journal that make up this series, I’m wishing... READ MORE

Juliette turned nine yesterday.
It’s on special days like these that I revel in the blessing of my big girls. There is just something wonderful about sharing “girl-ness” with a growing-up one of your own.

The other day, Gabrielle received a gift of a silk flower from her grandmother.

“I was thinking maybe ten dollars,” she suggested.
“Wow,” I said. “That’s a lot of money for a fake flower. You can probably buy one at the store for about 25 cents.”
“I know that,” she answered in exasperation. “That’s why I need to sell this one for at least ten dollars—so that I can buy a whole bunch of flowers at the store!”
New strategy suggestion, Sweetie: Wear the flower and attract a smart businessman for a husband.

I apologize to those of you who are suffering droughts this summer, but I do need to whine for just a minute about the rain. It’s been raining non-stop this summer. NON-STOP.
I heard on the news last night that we need only 4 more inches of rainfall in August for this summer to break the record for the New Hampshire’s All Time Wettest Summer Ever. I am so excited.
The kids have been very good about... READ MORE
