Halfway To The NaBloPoMo Finish Line!
We’re halfway through November and I’ve posted every day as per National Blog Posting Month requirements. Considering I failed in the first week last year, this is quite an accomplishment. Especially if you factor in the insane weekend we’ve had of photo sessions, birthday parties, fundraisers, half-marathons and Santa visits. Yes, I said Santa. Our Botanical Gardens offers a walk-thru for members of their Galaxy of Lights before they open to the public and tonight... Read More
On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!
At 8am this morning (Central Time), MrZ will be starting his half-marathon. He’s registered to run his first marathon in December but he’s had some injury issues and this will be the longest run he’s done since the first of October. (He ran 20 miles then.)

So, since I’m already of doing that anyway, I’m going to force myself... Read More
It Always Starts Innocently Enough
Do you ever have those days where you realize Oh, crap! I forgot to ____________.

And, of course, you start remembering certain other things you maybe dropped the ball on recently that you had forgotten about until that very moment. Chances are none of these things are Top Priority or they would have made it... Read More
The Math Of Childcare
As I find myself at home with the kids during the day – but also trying to get work done both around the house and as a freelance web geek (anyone need a blog design?) – I often am challenged to find distractions for the kids. NikkiZ is easier in 30-minute doses as she’ll watch a TV show quietly while I work. AndyZ, however, is unmanageable during that 30 minutes because he thinks there is nothing more boring than sister watching TV. So, not really helpful for... Read More
