I don't know what it was about yesterday that made me feel so tired... it might have been the bleak weather, or the lack of quality sleep due to Quinn's midnight infiltration of our bed, but I felt as if I never fully woke up. Since it was Tom's night off, we attempted family dinner … Continue reading Mac n Cheese

As I was making a ceasar salad last night, rolling the uncut lemon on the counter, I considered how I came to know this technique for getting the most juice with the least effort - I was taught this by my mother. She has always been a wonderful cook/baker and I have some very nice … Continue reading Squeezing Lemons

Ok, I'm not really certain that … Continue reading On Being the Madonna of Librarians

When I walked into my house on Monday, I detected a new aroma; a manly smell, if you will. Since Griffin was the first person I encountered, my investigation began with him. I … Continue reading Smells Like (pre-)Teen Spirit
The Kids are All Right
So, I’m reading a really good book – The Kids Are All Right. It is a memoir co-written by 4 siblings and relates their experiences after the death of their father in a car accident, followed by the death of their mother from an absolutely merciless battle with cancer. The story is set in Westchester … Continue reading The Kids are All Right
