It’s a small thing, really, but it still took entirely too long to hit me: Decorating for Christmas does not have to be a One Day Event. It does not have to be like the one festive Sunday of my childhood, a few weeks before Christmas, when we would put up the tree and decorate […]
Read More: There are no rules in Christmas decoratingIt’s the time where domestic divas everywhere are mapping out their kitchen battle plans, baking their pumpkin pies, putting together their cranberry relishes, and stuffing their turkeys. I, as usual, will not be doing any of that. My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner will begin tomorrow in the late morning. I will open up my freezer, […]

Every few years my uncle lends me this book to read to the boys. I like having a special Thanksgiving book to read, as I have always felt Thanksgiving to be a holiday that deserves to be steeped in tradition. As a child, I felt this sense of tradition keenly, as we went about our […]
Read More: Cranberry ThanksgivingWe spent Sunday with family at my aunt & uncle’s house in Bordentown, NJ. The street directly behind theirs really does it up for Halloween, and I thought you might enjoy a few photos. (It’s too bad all of my nighttime shots came out looking terrible – I really need to practice taking pictures in […]

Today is my grandmother’s birthday. Since a lady doesn’t discuss her age, I won’t presume to blab it to everyone here on her behalf. Let’s just say, she’s one year away from a big number which is one decade away from a huge number. And that’s all I’ll say about that. What I can talk […]

Here in New Jersey, it’s not easy to tell that fall has arrived simply by looking around. Much of the scenery is still bathed in the verdant greenery of summer. When we walk to the bus stop in the morning, there are not yet piles of dead leaves for us to trample with a satisfying […]
Read More: Good Morning, Fall!
Fall officially arrives at 11:48 Monday morning. I was resisting the end of summer, but now that I’ve had a few weeks to get used to the idea, I’m really looking forward to the next season. It has always been my favorite, after all. Autumn is honeycrisp apples, pumpkin bread, and grabbing a sweater on […]

It’s a certain someone‘s birthday today, and the boys and I collaborated on a banner. My instructions were clear: Aidan, you write HAPPY, I’ll write BIRTHDAY, and Eamonn, you write DADDY. Then we’ll hang them all up for Daddy to see when he comes downstairs this morning. Well, my boys are nothing if not outside-of-the-box […]

You see, there was this strawberry… And I couldn’t very well just leave it sitting there, looking at me, could I? Not when there was pectin in the cupboard and, next to that, a box of shiny new mason jar lids. I just had to give in to fate, tie on my trusty apron, and […]

You’ll be happy to know that when my son walked down the aisle to the sounds of Pomp and Circumstance this morning, I did not wail pitifully or throw myself on the floor, hanging on to his ankles in an effort to keep him from getting up on the stage. No, I was completely composed. […]
