World Cup mayhem!
How was your Sunday? Mine was wonderfully insane, thank you very much. Why, you ask? Well, I spent my day selling mugs and beer tokens down at Wolff's Biergarten, which may not sound very fun to those of you who aren't into crowds or soccer, but it was right up my alley. There were hundreds … Continue reading World Cup mayhem!

Based upon my middle son's recent query about "Why is the number one ingredient in maple syrup water?," I have to think that more must be done to educate children about the difference … Continue reading Maple Weekend 2014
Motherhood and The Silver Star
This is either the perfect book or the worst book to read when you're dealing with an impossible mother-daughter situation. You've been warned. Are you familiar with Jeannette Walls? Her first book, The Glass Castle related the story of her own childhood and was on the NYT's bestseller list for 6 years. It was a … Continue reading Motherhood and The Silver Star
