My moment this week is all about the packaging. I prepped the biggest amount of paper goods I’ve ever produced for the month-long Craftland show in Providence that starts at the end of this month. I thought I had made my plans well, but got run over by the packaging. In the end though, I’m…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Grays and Greys
I have a problem. I haven’t kept it a secret, but it’s starting to get ridiculous. To maintain my *original* dark brown hair color, I need to dye my hair every three weeks, minimum. I’ve always done it myself with good results, but it really is becoming silly with its frequency. Plus, being a proponent…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Miles
One of my favorite quotes from the accidentally-wise, Mike Tyson, is “Everybody’s got plans… until they get hit.” Oh, the plans I had for October… But I’ve been doing this work-at-home, be your own boss indie biz for long enough to know that you make your plan and you cross off what you can. One…… Continue Reading
OM :: The 10th
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
