  Fashion sense, and a giving heart

  I wore my new (from-a-clothes-swap-my-sister-went-to) puffy vest today, since it was only half a Siberia outside. I love the colors and I love vests, and fake fur is just so fun yet PETA-friendly. Susan said, You got your life jacket on, Mommy? Well, that’s fine. Turns out the high collar was really annoying anyway.
  Then Sally [...]

  Why can’t you be more like Penny’s mom?

  This morning as I slapped together Sally’s PB&J on whole wheat (naturally) and she grabbed a fruit cup and some yogurt, and then begged for a treat, and not the vegetable kind, she said she needed a napkin today. News to me, that she uses a napkin to eat yogurt, but I’m happy to discourage [...]

  I gave birth to Sally. That kind of says it all. If you’re a mother or a daughter or have a mother or a daughter, you can probably imagine how I feel. I knew I would have a daughter first (I am a first daughter myself) and I had her name picked out before I [...]

  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun — or would, if they weren’t feeling sklunklish

  I have a good friend who had a girl for her third child, after having two blondie boys. All three kids wear glasses now; it’s adorable in a sort of a smart-Barbie-and-Ken way. She was so excited about the whole pink thing that she sometimes had to try multiple outfits on her baby before choosing [...]

  I thought about titling this post Our Christmas Haul, but of course, that isn’t what Christmas is all about, or My Resolutions, but they’re distressingly similar to last years,’ and that’s really sad or homey and familiar, depending on your mood.
  But then I remembered what I am succeeding at spectacularly daily. No, not finding the [...]

  Sally had a question for me at the dinner table a couple weeks ago. It was: “Mom, are you going to be something when you get a little older? Like when you’re thirty-one or something?” Dick tried to tell her I was a mommy; Sally said, “but she just stays at home all day.” Out [...]

  “This is a proud, proud day” (Dumbo), or, I’ve never been so sick with fear

  Last Wednesday night our branch president (pastor) called and asked us to speak in church. Dick, smart man that he is, asked me if that was okay BEFORE accepting for the family. He told Sally she would be speaking too, and Sally told me all about it the next morning as we got ready to [...]
