I was just emailing and typed the word ‘similiar’. My spell check UNDERLINED it in red. I went to my dashboard and brought up my dictionary and thesaurus and found that ‘similiar’ is spelled ‘similar’, as in things ‘resembling each other but not identical’.
Did this spelling just change? I have been [...]

Yes, I know those are Redskins colors, but I have to give some love to our home team… with that said:
The Pittsburgh Steelers were playing on TV a few days ago. My son asked my husband,
“Daddy, do they STEAL?” A logical question.
My Big Guy then explained to my Little Guy that [...]

We had the World Series on Monday night; the TV was muted. We do this in the beginning of the evening out of habit. Our Little Man goes to bed at 7:30 and although he has never heard the TV, again, we do it out of habit. No need to re-live [...]

What do you get when you bring together SUPER COOL MOMS,
a plethora of great food and drink,
no kids,
and even a ride home?
You get the DC METRO MOMS BLOG UN-ELECTION PARTY!
…of course.
 

What I love about being a DC Metro Mom contributor is exactly why I loved this party-
all us women are totally different,
have different takes on [...]

I’ve found them. It took a long, long time. But I’ve found them!
The perfect pair of jeans.
Last year I started back into my love/hate relationship with jeans. I go through phases when I don’t like jeans and don’t wear jeans. But last winter I decided that I really needed some [...]

I actually have GOOD news for moms with cell phones.
If your daughter or son likes to play with your cell phone- LISTEN UP!
My son loves to ‘pretend’ to call people on my cell phone. He has his own play cell phone(S), yes, that’s plural. But I still occasionally let him ‘pretend’ with [...]

The Sex and The City Movie debuted 5 months ago. As with so many things ‘mama’, I did not see it until last night.
I sat down on our couch with a glass of wine, my little one sound asleep, and watched it ‘On Demand’.
First of all, I love ‘On Demand’. I rarely [...]

I forget where I read this quote, but it was somewhere on the internet. And I love Rumi.
“Let yourself be silently drawn
By the stronger pull
Of what you really love.”
-Rumi

This is easier said than done,
with kids, and dishes,
and field trips and laundry.
But it’s cool to remember, none the less.

Happy Weekend

I was gone on Monday, from 8:00am til 8:00pm…
12 hours: not a long time in the span-of-a-life, but apparently TOO MUCH time for my 2 guys: ages 39 and 4, to be at home together with no supervision.
Disclaimer:  I have an amazing husband.  He’s a great guy, great dad, etc.
But how can 2 people displace [...]

What a fun day! BlogHer DC 2008 is now history, but what a great day it was. I learned A LOT about blogging, saw online friends, and met some awesome new ones.
It’s so cool how everyone has a different story…
It’s more than cool that ‘this blogging thing’ I was just discovering this [...]
