Beautiful? Yes. But what do you even wear these with? I’m guessing it’s nothing I own. Will I be able to walk in them? On uneven stone or brick streets? I’d love to believe I’m the picture of grace and sophistication but I trip walking down my own driveway in Dansko clogs so, no. So…
So much to catch up on. This poor blog has been neglected not because I have lost interest but because of all the other things screaming louder for my attention. Have any of you noticed that during summer vacation the kids don’t go to school? Yeah. And this whole ‘building a house to sell and trying…
More things my kid has slept with recently. Lest you think I’m a horrible mother, I want to say that most of these things he doesn’t actually sleep with. He falls asleep holding them and then I extract them from his sweaty little paws so he won’t lose an eye or sever an artery while napping….

I’m going to try doing a weekly post of little things. Things I cooked or things that happened with the kids or in life that I want to tell you about but that might not be worthy of a whole post of their own. We’ll see if it sticks. Here is this week’s list: I…
