Random Monday
MrZ and I were married 7 years ago today. (Seven? Is it seven or eight? Seven. Yes, it’s seven. I think.) We are celebrating by going out to dinner alone tonight. That’s about all we have time to do. But, you know? That’s quite a damn treat in our lives. Dinner…alone? No children to watch for spills or to force to eat? (E is the worst, you know.) No fighting over splenda packets or demanding of more ketchup? This may be the best dinner EVER. Oh…we’re... Read More
Family Dinner
Some time soon after Nikki was born, my mother-in-law offered to cook dinner for us at her house.

My Perfect Home
No one in our house would have dressers or closets in their room. Instead, the laundry room would be giant, have a chest of drawers for each family member, and enough rack space so that everyone’s clothes would fit nicely.

It’s the trip from the laundry room to the respective rooms with the clothes that I put off... Read More
