Girls in the City
Kayla was eleven the first time I took her on a girl trip to NYC–and this mother of sons spent a LOT of time in the American Girl Doll store. My own American Girl is now on the cusp of 16, and we spent considerable time in Sephora. And the new and amazing makeup cathedral … Continue reading Girls in the City →

All Kinds Of Bunches
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me, starting in the dentist chair. The tooth had to go, and that part turned out surprisingly easy. In and out, over and done–including a bone graft deal. Huh, I thought, naively, no big. The big, literally, came the following day when I woke up looking like … Continue reading All Kinds Of Bunches →

Shelter in Place discussion thread
Shelter in Place is on sale today (May 29, 2018). And this is the place to discuss so spoilers are very much ahead. A quick reminder of the book description: It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the … Continue reading Shelter in Place discussion thread →

Happy (Early) Birthday, Mama-To-Be
Every summer a few girls attend Kat’s birthday spree at Saks. We’ve–Kat, me, Laura, Mary and Sarah–started making this an overnight, because why not? This year, as June’s so packed, we celebrated nearly a month early. And this year, we’re looking for Pregnant Kat clothes. WHEE!!!

Strange Days
I don’t mind rain–good for the flowers–and I enjoy a good, wicked storm. But. We had about ten days of solid rain here, along with most of the East Coast. Drenching, drowning, flooding rain day after day. With seriously wicked storms at night. Bombs of thunder. Parker, never bothered by storms, took to sleeping on … Continue reading Strange Days →

The First Saturday in May
There’s nothing like Derby, and we’re so fortunate to go every year. The experience continues to be amazing, entertaining, special and just plain fun. Kat and Jason joined us this year (baby’s first Derby!) as we flew out Thursday morning. For an added treat, two long-time pals planned to attend this year, and though the … Continue reading The First Saturday in May →

YAY!
I had my wonderful week at the spa with my girls, crowned my pal of a half century (Jesus, Jo, how did we get this old???) Queen of the Drunken Spa Girls Tournament. Driving south toward home, I saw redbuds blooming, trees greening. At last. I’m getting myself a brand new grandboy this fall. … Continue reading YAY! →

Spaaa-tica: A new Queen ascends
and her name is not Laura (though I appreciate everyone’s belief in me). When last we met, I’d won a round of Just Dance. I added my sticker to the board (an homage to the nascent dark side) and otherwise turned my back on the Stupid(ish) Scoreboard. Ignoring the grid turned out to be pretty … Continue reading Spaaa-tica: A new Queen ascends →

Spa-La-La
It’s hard to wait 51 weeks for the best week of the year, but it’s worth it. It’s strange to hit the end of April, and see a snow fall, but we managed. Because we’re girls!! We came in a little scattered this year due to this and that. A group on Wednesday, another couple rolling … Continue reading Spa-La-La →
