My blogging life is usually just me and my glowing laptop screen in the 2 a.m. darkness. This weekend was a happy change. I left my computer at home (which caused me even more separation anxiety than leaving my kids) to attend The Big Potluck, a community-oriented gathering of food bloggers in sunny southern California.

Three years ago we left California for one year in Ohio. We were gone longer than planned but back sooner than our California friends expected, which was never. Now I’m back in my sunny native habitat, and my husband is once again in a foreign land, searching for Big Ten football on the TV and [...]

I almost didn’t go to the wedding of my best friend from high school last Sunday. I’d just returned with my family from my dad’s funeral in California. The wedding in Maui was 11 hours of flight time from Ohio. I wanted to give my third child a real 6th birthday party to make up [...]

I save links until I have enough to share, and then it’s always too much. This collection has girl power, creepy customer spying by Target, insight into teen development, recipe craves and a look at how Asians can eat rice and stay skinny. I’m loving the New York Times Magazine lately. I’m inspired by this [...]

Once again, I have an assortment of tidbits from my wayward travels on the web, gathered up for you like a motley bouquet. It’s not the freshest – I save my little bits over months – but I love having my collection of treasures here so I can always find them again. I was amazed [...]

It’s the conundrum of my adult life that I have ever more on my mind and ever less mind with which to process it. No wonder kids think adults are nuts. I remember as a kid I thought my aunt was so crazy when she put Prell (remember Prell, that green shampoo in a tube [...]

In a vast world, tragedies happen every day, ones that make me want to reach through the television or the newspaper to devastated families that I don’t know. Using the tools of social media, a group of caring bloggers this week has managed to bridge the divide between caring strangers and someone in need. The [...]

The kids and I braved the bees to harvest some of the blooming lavender in our yard. Every time the scent wafts by, I want to close my eyes and go to sleep. The kids appear to be immune to lavender’s soothing aromatherapy effect, but they are more than pleased by their scissors-wielding handiwork.  This [...]

When I started this blog last summer, I was utterly clueless about the blogosphere. One of my new-to-me favorites, The Wednesday Chef, has a regular “Link Love” feature to highlight some of her recent finds, and I thought it would be fun to do the same. Today’s post is to catch up any of you [...]
