In an attempt to find myself, or at least have a little time to process, reflect, relax and just be away from the madness that is my life at the moment, I made a run for the border by myself. OK, I didn’t quite make the border. I’m in Phoenix for the weekend with long-time […]
vacation
I’ve been sharing the adventure of our trip to Hawaii with our kids in October. To catch up, please check out the stories of the flight, the arrival and the volcanic eruption. When we last left our heroes, they were recovering from their first full day on the island. The morning of the third day […]
We went to Maui for five days last week and had such an adventure I’m sharing it in pieces. To catch up, you can start here with the mother of all plane rides, followed by my experience with Satan’s car rental agency. Enjoy! When we last left our heroes they were soaking in the hotel […]

We’re back from our long weekend away in Sedona. We made it home about 2:30 p.m. yesterday to a little dude cranky with teething (but thrilled to see us) and a very excited Sweetness. In their excitement they forgot they’re supposed to sleep through the night so working on five hours of sleep I leave […]
I used to want to describe life these days as a juggling act where I’m trying to keep a bunch of balls in the air, but the fact of the matter is that might be too simple of an analogy. It actually feels more like one of those circus acts where I’m keeping 100 plates […]
