Going through difficult times in our lives make us want curl up in a ball and stay in bed. But that’s not my style for too long. I do it for a bit and then I get up. Because what other choice do I have? Keep going or not, right? I took a little trip…
Totally Type A
Lest you think I am talking about my personality in the title (I might be a little…) I am actually talking about the conference I went to last week, Type A Parent. I cannot say enough good things about this conference! It was a wonderful size, in a great venue/location (Grand Hyatt in…
The View
In the summer of 1996 I went o New York City, New York for the first time in my life. I used my savings to buy the plane ticket and pay for the other expenses involved in the trip. It was actually a college class I took and so a group of us students and…
Ocean = Life
When we went to Moody Gardens (this is NOT an ad post, I already did that, I’m just telling a story…) we saw a documentary on the IMAX screen there about life at the very deepest depths of the ocean. It was done by Jacques Cousteau’s son and it was some of the…
Ah yes, photography…
I’ve been a bit of a slacker in this department lately. My focus has been more on my writing. Which is good. But I miss photography when I do not stretch my lens. That’s my meager attempt at a metaphor. I am proud that I’ve mostly kept up with the self-portrait a day project, but…
Moody Gardens Adventures!
This year for Spring Break we decided to head to Galveston, TX for a few days. We had never been before and I had heard good things about some of the attractions and that there is quite a bit to do with kids. Since it’s only about a 4 hour drive and there’s a beach,…
Marvel Universe LIVE!
I have talked about how my kids are fun to be around lately. I am not sure I have mentioned what great travelers they are. I know it’s “easier” these days to travel with kids since we have a lot of mobile things for them to do in vehicles and on airplanes but I honestly…
January always comes after December
I always think “Oh my gosh, another year has passed just like that,” when I begin to take a look back. Like many of us, I assume, the calendar changing to a different number at the end of the date on my checks, always surprises me after all the craziness of Christmas. (yes, I may…
Take The Long Way Home
My oldest kiddo went to sleep-away camp for the first time last week. He was dropped off by Tim while I was on my way home from BlogHer. That wasn’t a really fun feeling, by the way – your kid being dropped off to somewhere they have never been before whilst you get to miss…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
