In the midst of our frenetic holiday weekend, after the Walk for Wishes and before the horse racing, we got to hang out and watch a baseball game. Not only was it Make-A-Wish night for those of us who had been walking, but it was also (thanks to two previous rained-out evenings) Star Wars night. […]

Twelve Adventures: #9 – L’International des Feux Loto-Québec (FIREWORKS!)
When I was 19 years old, I accidentally stumbled into the L’International des Feux Loto-Québec, ruining fireworks for me for the next decade at least, and I have been trying to find my way back ever since. This past weekend, as millions of drunk idiots expressed their love of the United States of America by trying […]
What’s the Difference Between Killing Something and Letting it Die?

He came blasting into my room at 5:?? this morning, leaping, bounding, twisting, and shouting, excited that Mommy would be coming home from school today. I can forgive this. I am excited too. I would be perfectly content to just lazily cuddle him in the bed for the next several hours until the rest of […]
The Latest 35 Mix For Kids
If you are a regular reader around here, then you know that I have on my iPod a playlist called the “Latest 25 Mix,” containing the last 25 songs to catch my ear. It is a rotating list, so when a new songs comes onto it, it means another song is bumped off, and so […]
50 Things Only 10-sies Kids Can Understand
Signs that you were raised in the greatest generation, with a childhood from 2010-2019!

If It Weren’t For Opera…
Opera is amazing, right? It is the convergence of all types of art, from music, acting, and dancing, to painting, fashion designing, and even sculpting from time to time. It is passionate, funny, and intense, and there are plenty of reasons to appreciate it on its own, just for what it is. But even if […]
