I love avocados. Did you know that in Argentina they eat them in ice cream shakes or plain with sugar on them? Having tried both, I still prefer mine salty.

Run run run barefoot little street urchins! What a shame your mother never taught you to wear shoes outside...............(oh but this warm weather beckons our bare feet outside!)

Hard to wipe the smile off my face tonight as I saw our darling daughter play the role of Queen Philomena in The Return of the Glass Slipper. So proud of her courage and hard work.

Why oh why do I continue to buy white shirts for my children?? Seriously! Which do you think will be harder to get out, the permanent red ink pad stain or the chocolate?

So glad to have such wonderful neighbor friends, especially those who will pose for a pic of the day with apple rings on their eyes!

Cheep cheep cheep! (Thanks to Rich's ingenuity, some large cardboard scraps and some duct tape, the chicks got a new abode today. )

My super-exciting Thursday night included a lap cat, a very sick 3 year old, and a smarty-pants 1st grader reading to me. I loved every second of it.

So grateful for little things like seeds in a cup that grow even when the 3-year-old is in charge of watering.

You got it, friend.

How kind of the neighbors to build a giant snow cave for us to play in.

Dear Elementary School Teachers: Could we be done with posters? We don't want to have to make posters for our kids every year. We are tired, and our houses are a mess. And sometimes we don't look in our child's backpack on Friday after school and we miss the note  informing us that said child is student of the week and needs a poster by Monday. Sometimes that happens, and then you feel like loser-mom-of-America when you find the note Monday morning at 7:30.  So how 'bout we forget the posters?  And thank you for all that you do. Sincerely, a Tired Mom

Okay, I'm now ready for spring.
