Last night I took my dad to the Tigers game. My girlfriend, and co-season-ticket-holder, had to work and couldn’t attend. It was a good opportunity for some father-daughter bonding. We’ve been able to hang out only a few times this year when it was just the two of us.
So all afternoon I was looking forward [...]

She’s on my team
The other night before we went shopping for school clothes, my niece and I spent some quality time together, just the two of us. After hitting the playground and finishing dinner – we just hung out and talked.
Kira decided that she wanted to do my hair – she had some great ideas on how [...]

School Shopping
My mom & I took my niece school shopping last night. It was our last girls night before my parents drove Kira back down to my sister in NC. I really am going to miss the punk.
We pretty much just hit up The Children’s Place for our mix & match looks. Is it [...]

Lesson not learned
Apparently I didn’t learn a thing from my lobster-fest a few weeks ago. Or maybe I did learn, but then subsequently forgot. Here’s the thing: I’m a pasty, fair skinned girl who loves being outside, loves swimming, but often forgets to put on any sunblock. Pale skin + the earth’s yellow [...]

I feel like I’m still catching up from vacation two weeks ago!
But let me share with you one of my favorite things about Cape Cod. I love this place so much that I will drive 30 minutes just for the experience:
Four Seas Ice Cream in [...]

I love vacations! But I guess that’s not too special about me. Everyone loves vacations, right? I just rolled up to my cottage in Cape Cod this morning. This is my third summer in a row here and I. LOVE. IT.

change of plans
In the words of Kelly B’s grandma - I’ve decided to get off my pity-pot. It’s about time.
There are still moments each day that I get a little bit blue, but then I just focus on all that is going well in my life right now.

The last good canoli
He said it felt strange
To be walking anywhere
not holding her hand.
Haiku for my great-uncle Jim. He’s been married to my great-aunt for 40 years and it’s just so great to see them still walking hand in hand wherever they go. We were out for a big family dinner when they visited this weekend. Jim and [...]

For all the amazing, hardworking moms out there – especially mine.
Thank you for all the love, bedtime stories, carpools, recreational sports, band-aids, home cooked meals, laughter, and wisdom.
Thank you for sending me out into the world as a capable, caring citizen.
Love,

Countdown
Is it Friday yet??
I feel like this has been just the longest week so far this year. It doesn’t help that I haven’t been able to even get home before 9:30pm in 4 days. I really need to take a good look at my calendar and start purging.
But I have only 1 day [...]
