Yup. 10 year anniversary. Today. This photo is of my husband and I singing at our wedding. (I’m laughing and he’s singing, but we did switch that back & forth.) We borrowed the idea of a Mitzvah wedding from one of his friend’s receptions. We asked our guests to come up with a brief story,…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Worst Day Ever
Those were my 8-year-old’s words last night when I told him he had to go to bed right after he cleaned his room. He would lose his reading time with me AND his reading time on his own, both very precious privileges to him. Both boys have to clean their rooms each night before bed,…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Management
My moment’s a little round-about this week, so bear with me. I used to work in an office and was part of the management team for awhile. I worked on projects. I did reviews of personnel. I went to a ridiculous amount of meetings. I never looked at it as a career. It was a…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Mindset
I was sitting here, feeling sorry for myself, and really not in a place to write about a moment this week. I’ve been waiting on a shipment of paper for my father-in-law’s wedding invitations and it arrived yesterday, while I was out. The box was left in the pouring rain, without protection, by the front…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Big House
Most everyone gets to choose where he or she lives. Some have circumstances choose for them. Either way, no one should have to justify where she lives. This week, I’ve been to two houses for playdates. Both were at houses we had not visited before. Both houses were huge. In the area that I live,…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Homework
It’s been some kind of week… the good kind. I got into Craftland, a month-long annual holiday craft fair in Providence, RI. (More on this soon.) I may be meeting my beloved friend-at-large, Angie, next week in the audience of a TV show (if that happens, you know there will be a blog post.) I…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Office Hours
It seems when you run a business from your home, your time at work needs to be approved by whomever you live with, at least if you’re part of a family. I don’t know if this expectation arises when you’re male. I would imagine any time working at home, especially when there are children involved,…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Dogwood Branch
Beautiful, isn’t it? Not the photo, though not a bad shot, but the branch in all it’s loveliness? Well, this is it today. It touches the ground because my favorite tree, my favorite branch even, has been broken. I don’t even think I need to give you 3 guesses as to who broke it. But…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Fall
I’ve always lived in a place that had the change of seasons. At my ripe old age, I don’t think I could live anywhere that didn’t have four distinct changes to the year. Fall feels like a renewal to me. Not in the same way spring does with all it’s nervous pent-up winter energy waiting…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Summer Camp Boy
It’s the last day of summer camp for both my boys today and I’m just a bit wistful. My 7, soon to be 8, year-old thrives at camp. He comes home happy (and dirty) every night, excited to tell us all of the happenings for the day. He has always had a certain charm about…… Continue Reading
