That man-boy of mine will probably never cease to amaze me. Out of all of my children, Liam is the one who takes me most by surprise. From his premature birth to the fact that he was a boy instead of the girl I had blindly expected using my underdeveloped maternal instincts, he always has … Continue reading 16 Shades of Liam

A nightmare and two dreams or how I spent my February break.
Our lice thing turned into a week of laundry and hair combing and ultimately a prescription lotion, Ovide, which I elected to use prophylactically on the entire family.

Skiing was always a bit beyond the budget, a fact … Continue reading Schooled on skiing
8 reasons why Quinn is cooler than (most) other 8 y/o’s:

His brothers and parents are probably equally to blame. He has seen every single James Bond movie and can tell you which actor played … Continue reading 8 reasons why Quinn is cooler than (most) other 8 y/o’s:
