The toilet is in the bathroom. Sounds pretty obvious, right? (Well, except maybe to that toddler who wants to mess with your head or can only be bribed to hurdle that potty training milestone.) But children of a certain age should know where it is and the many uses it has. I have experienced some…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Girl I Never Met
Originally published last year, I think this post is a reminder to hold our dear ones close and be thankful for every moment. ***** I’m thinking about a little girl today. Her name was Julia. She lost her battle with a blood disease last year at Thanksgiving time. Her life touched mine and I still…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Happiest Place on Earth
We are almost back to our regular routine after Storm Alfred. We still hear the constant sound of chainsaws and have seen more Asplundh trucks than I ever care to again. School just opened yesterday after being closed for a week and a half. Some of our neighbors still didn’t have power last I heard…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Storm that Took Halloween
As I sit to write in front of a crackling fire, all should seem cozy. But I can hear the faint humming in the background of generators and it tells me something is strange and not at all cozy. An early winter storm rolled through last Saturday and it happened to be a Nor’Easter. I’m…… Continue Reading
OM Life with Boys :: The Sporting Kind
In a house of boys, sports can reign, and I’ve been ready for that. I grew up playing and learning sports from my dad, so I enjoy watching, as well as participating. (And I can do a tiny bit of coaching too.) When Abe was old enough to begin playing for our town, I was…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Veg
I am still digging out from under all of life’s lists and to do-s (last week’s post here.) I’ve developed a recurring eye twitch (always a good sign [just like the use of frequent sarcasm]. And school activities are at a fever pitch as the year comes to a close. BUT! I am excelling at…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Overwhelmed
I am the overwhelmed. I will have the occasional day feeling this feeling, but it has been a daily occurrence for weeks now. My moment is to try and remember to focus on one thing at a time and not be overwhelmed by everything that needs doing all at once. And to stop wishing for…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Moment is Yours
I usually share a moment from my week, but today, I’d like you to take a moment and register to become a bone marrow donor. Do you know someone that you could help by being a donor? I did. Remember Julia? I can’t believe I took this long to sign up to be a donor.…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Broken Revived
I love Mother Nature. Even if she kicks my tail once in a while, she always makes it right. This is a photo of my dogwood this year and I’m so happy to see it blooming. You may remember my post from the end of last summer, The Dogwood Branch, and mourning the loss of…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Time and Place
It’s the time of year when I feel myself being pulled to New York City and the Jacob Javits Center. If you make, buy or just love paper, the National Stationery Show is the place to be. But, alas, I will not be there. I have walked the floor of the show the past two…… Continue Reading
