Published on June 21, 2018

Tweet Every year we rush through from my husband’s birthday and then to my son’s birthday, to Mother’s Day, and all this happens around end of school year activities which all have special programs and events to schedule. This year has been no exception, and I found myself precariously close to the Critter’s big day […]

Published on June 12, 2011

Tweet As we rolled down the hill from Greystone Mansion and away from the Kidstock 2011 Music and Arts Festival, in spite of the fact that The Critter was furious and thrashing that he didn’t want to leave, my Perfect Husband remarked “Well honey, that didn’t suck nearly like I thought it would – high […]

Published on March 30, 2011

Tweet Y’all know how much I love it when my current life intersects with the cult iconography of the past. Today was a platinum example of how that happens.

Rock School rocks out with Dave Stewart at AnQi

Published on September 19, 2010

Tweet Back to school is the theme of my life this week. Sunday was Rock School, Monday was preschool. I joke that I can just as easily raise a successful rock star as I can as a successful banker or lawyer – if you have a child that shows talent in music it’s all in […]

Published on August 15, 2010

Tweet I was initially invited by the amazing folks at PBS to their annual fall press tour to get a preview of their new kids’ programming. I LOVED the new shows and will tell you all about them before they air. I have to say, though, that being invited to sit about fifteen feet from […]


Mother’s Day redux

Published on May 10, 2010
