By now, it’s come and gone. Or at least, the part of Fall that everyone loves. Now it’s just dreary and bare. But while it was here, this is what it looked like: Evie was so excited to jump in leaves that as soon as any leaves fell, she wanted a pile, so this is …

It’s times like this I think, “the matrix is real.” How else can we possibly explain such an ignorant look backward at boy and girl stereotypes? Both girlfriends I sent this to asked “are you at Hobby Lobby?” Which makes so much sense considering what a backward place this person—er, I mean, business—is. No. No …

This year, my mom entered a new decade in age, so to help her celebrate, we all went on a Caribbean Cruise. It didn’t matter so much the destination, actually. I was wanting to do a New England cruise and settled on the Caribbean because that was pretty much all there was available this time …

It took us all summer, but we finally finished our house projects. Of course, we’re finding others to add to the list, but those are for next year. This year, though, we finished all the ones we planned on when we moved in. Huzzah! In celebration, we broke out one of our good wines. And …

Okay. Full disclosure: This post update has been done for a while. I thought I was going to do something else with it, but it didn’t happen, so now I just want to get it out of the que and pretend like I’m on top of updating our blog. So bear with the story telling …

Ok. I have had it. Am I the only one totally disgusted by the various ways companies have created gender divides? Don’t get me wrong. Men and women are different in incredibly distinct and mysterious ways. And I love being a woman. I love the clothes and the shoes and the accessories and, most of …
