It was bedtime. Past bedtime, if you must. He and I trudged upstairs where it was made very clear that I would be sharing the big bed tonight. There was no fight about this; everyone was too tired. I settled him down next to me as I pretended to be ready for bed myself. I […]

How To Entertain Your Young Children at Fenway Park
This past weekend I accidentally took my family to the hottest, most boring place in the entire universe: Fenway Park. We were there to watch the Red Sox defeat the Astros 5-4, and while we did technically do that, we had to do a lot of other things as well because of how not cool […]
A Talk of a Rock on a Walk
We dropped the car off to be inspected this morning, Edward and I, which meant that we had to walk home. It’s not too far, and we brought the dog with us to make it more of an adventure. Also, Edward walks a lot faster when the dog is pulling him and I have a […]
A 5-Year-Old’s Lullaby to a Dog
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 Last Day
This is it. The last day of pre-school. The last time Edward will take a bus to school, as we live across the street from the elementary school where he will begin Kindergarten in just 2 short months, 3 medium sized weeks, and one long day. Goodbye to the amazing program that has taught and […]
Our First Piece of Original Artwork
Good morning readers! Do you remember a short while ago when I mentioned the insanely awesome prize pack I had won from Keith Munslow, the leading singer/storyteller of the Rhode Island kindie music scene? If you don’t remember, go check it out because there is a lot of good music that was sent our way […]
What Lockdowns are for, According to My Daughter
“I just remembered something that happened at school today, ’cause I told Mace ‘I’m gonna have a good story to tell my Dad!’” We were sitting at Friendly’s having ice cream while Edward was off at Taekwan-do finally getting his green belt, and Ruby had finally remembered something that had happened at school, other than “nothing” […]
