School book fairs and other urgent matters
The other day, when I picked up my oldest, he bolted out the school door and said, "Wait, can't we go to the book fair?" I was herding us all down the sidewalk. I hadn't even had time to ask about his day. There hasn't been any hugs or hellos yet. I was confused because … Continue reading School book fairs and other urgent matters
Pinch-free zone
It's Sunday, which to me is a day of traditions. There are a lot of traditions with which I was raised that I have since let go of. For example, I don't force my kids to pray in public or out loud at family meals, for reasons I'm not going to go into here. Another … Continue reading Pinch-free zone
Self Care is a WIP
Today I cancelled an already- rescheduled pedicure because I had too much work to do. I think it's been two years since I had one. I know that if I went ahead and did the pedicure, I would feel better. My feet and legs would feel and look good. It's definitely a good idea. But … Continue reading Self Care is a WIP

We adore his physical education teacher and counselors and principal and whoever else might be responsible for this. I don't even have … Continue reading I don’t make promises I can’t keep
Post-good-day moody blues
Anybody ever have a day in which you were crushing it, and then have everything come crashing down the next day? I don't know if my expectations are set too high after a really good day, or what. But I suspect it's because life happens, and I get overwhelmed, and I mainly want to go … Continue reading Post-good-day moody blues
Smashing the patriarchy AND food waste
Listen, I can’t rage about the bloviator-in-chief and his supporters every day; it's exhausting. But I can smash the Monday blahs with a little cheap “what do we even have in the fridge?” dinner. Here’s some "dirty paleo" chicken salad I made with leftover chicken legs, nearly-ready-to-be-tossed grapes, almost-bad-but-not-quite-bad sweet bell peppers, a single dill … Continue reading Smashing the patriarchy AND food waste
