I hope you are enjoying your Mother’s Day. It’s gorgeous here in Philly. We attended church this morning and now I’m on my way out to my son’s first baseball game of the season. It doesn’t get much better than this! If this is a hard day for you due to the loss of your… Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I’ve posted photos of the kiddos. Just to warn ya, they’re HUGE. We tried to get a few good shots yesterday before the rains came. Naturally Savannah had to be in the pictures at some point. Then I realized that R hadn’t taken off her sweater, so when we got… Continue Reading →
I don’t usually post crafty posts because . . . well . . . I tend to prefer the kind that come in a box with all the materials and instructions because I’m lazy like that. However, I put together this Wintertime Craft Round Up for another site, and it wasn’t what they were looking… Continue Reading →
Last year at about this time I wrote a post for The Skinny called New Year, New You! in which I shared five resolutions — or I prefer to call them commitments to my family. One of those commitments was to set my family as my first priority. Here’s what I said: Me time is important, but… Continue Reading →
I’m baaaack!!! It’s been awfully quiet around the blogosphere this week, and I decided I needed some time off so I’ve hardly been on the computer since we left for Virginia last Saturday. We had a whirlwind trip to Roanoke and back. I think I need a vacation from my vacation, but when I got… Continue Reading →
You entered the world 4 weeks early and have been marching to the beat of your own drum (or violin, HA!) ever since. Today you turn 10. Double Digits! This year has been a big year for you. You completed Girls On The Run and ran a 5K. I had so much fun running with… Continue Reading →
Welcome to the first ever MOAH (Musings of a Housewife) Christmas Ornament Show & Tell! I thought it would be fun to celebrate the season by sharing some of our most treasured Christmas ornaments and holiday decorations. If you celebrate a different holiday, you are certainly welcome to join us! Let’s get this party started!… Continue Reading →
It is early. I am sitting in my office under the cover of darkness, sipping coffee, enjoying the silence. Suddenly I hear the pitter patter of little footsteps on the stairs. She appears from around the corner, her face illuminated by the light of the Christmas tree. Cheeks flushed and silky blond hair tousled from sleep, she… Continue Reading →
It’s been a few years since we’ve had professional family pictures taken, and I wasn’t very happy with last year’s Christmas photo cards (the photo -not the cards) so I decided to bite the bullet and find someone to do it right. Kate Giovinco is a local photographer who shoots only on location, and that’s… Continue Reading →
Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you’re aware of the newish Christmas tradition — The Elf on the Shelf. This is a silly story that someone dreamed up about a mischievous elf that watches over the children of the house to see who is bad and who is good and reports back to Santa each… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
