An Imperfect Santa

Christmas is upon us. Loathe to be one of those smug parents, I have to admit that this holiday, like Halloween and Easter is so much more fun with a child. No longer just about gift giving or mouth stuffing, it is once again a magical experience. Or it can be. In the last week I have taken The Bees...

Accessories Down the Drain

Accessories are the bane of my existence. I must say I've wasted more money on The Bee’s accoutrements for hair, hand and foot. With girls especially, there is this need, either a socially-encouraged one or maybe from within, (a desire to dress up my own living doll). Let's be clear- I'm...

3 Places To Shop for Quick and Easy Cooking

My second favorite subject these days, after The Bees, is food. Since CB travels every week I frequently eat alone at home so nothing makes me happier than discovering a new take-out item or something easy to cook at home. I think I’ve mentioned that I food shop at three stores: Safeway on Sangamore...

Ahhhhhh Nordstrom!

The sweet solitude of a Sunday when your husband takes your child to swim class and you get to go off and do whatever you like. With these precious hours of freedom I always vow to take in a matinee movie at Landmark movie theater in Bethesda, but more than likely it’s a pedicure at Georgetown...

Jekyll and Hyde

I have borne a monster into this world. Not a terrible one, but one that has two distinct behaviors, angelic and demonic, that turn on a dime. One minute The Bees will be laughing and jolly playing with her Dad and then she sees me and collapses at my feet whining and scowling, crying to be held and...

My Favorite Toys

Elmo Pool Since it’s summer and we don’t have access to a pool I was grateful for a hand-me-down red plastic Elmo pool. You can’t really tell it’s Elmo unless you put on the top with the big trademark eyes on it. We keep just the bottom of it in the front yard and drag the hose...
