This week has been begging for ibuprofen. Now, I didn’t take any. Not that there’s anything wrong with taking some ibuprofen if you need it here and there. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory medication, and it works. Too much of anything isn’t good though, and…
It’s been a hard week. Do you ever feel like you’re not doing anything right? I mean in a deep, core-of-who-you-are kind of way. We all wear different titles: friend, mother, wife, doctor-lawyer-indian chief (you know what I’m trying to say). There’s a level…
I just spent a week away from work. My older kids were at camp for 5 days, and the youngest stayed with a friend. I didn’t cook, clean or organize anything. We went out for dinner, talked, went to bed and got up when we…

I’m back! Last week, my husband and I went to Breckenridge, Colorado for a ski trip. I am exhausted. What? I just had a week away from work, kids, home and everything that is the normal rat race of life, and I’m still wiped…
I had the strangest experience with my son the other day. Let me give you some background. Two summers ago, we took a family vacation to the gulf coast of Florida and rented a beach house for a week. It was exactly what we…
