So you’re dating, again. We all know how much fun that can be, and how stressful. Seems like the beginning of getting to know one another on a more intimate level can be complicated as well as very exciting. But many of us tend to stay on the surface because going deeper make us feel [...]

I spent the month of June traveling around Northern Europe with my friend and colleague, Bart Smyth, exposing people to these awesome games of connection. The games do exactly that, they create a space where people can laugh and learn about themselves as well as the people they’re playing with. While I connected with the [...]

I was in the basement with my three-year-old today. We were searching for the box of brother’s hand-me-downs so he would have something to wear this summer. As we sorted, he spotted them – the Elmo Snow Boots he wore last winter. “I want my Elmo boots,” he said. I tried to explain that it [...]

Ah yes, Field Day. The annual end of the year phenomenon in American schools is the gym teacher’s equivalent of a spring concert. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it’s time to get out and compete. Only, you know we don’t actually compete anymore. Today was my son’s very first Field Day [...]

I have recently started running again. I used to run a lot, or rather jog a lot. (I’ve never been very fast, which at least one book I read says is required to qualify you as a “runner.”) I seem to have always gone with the mantra, “Slow and steady might not win the race, but [...]

I realize you may think this picture is horrible. You may think it is wonderful. I don’t know what I think about it, except I felt compelled to mark this news item when it came. I made my children watch the news. I explained the headlines and the word “Mastermind” to my six-year-old. I felt [...]

Because I write for a living, I get the chance to meet some interesting people. Recently, I got to talk with a 102-year-old man. He made the 94-year-old woman I also interviewed that day seem like a spring chicken. It is hard to comprehend that much life – more than a century. I am in my thirties. As [...]

When I was growing up, the two large bushes on either side of the driveway at my Mother’s farm always seemed kind of ugly to me. Each, is on first glance, an over grown mess. They are over 10 feet high, about 20 feet long and 8 or 9 feet deep. The unruly bushes make [...]

I miss getting to walk into the post office on April 15th and commiserate with my fellow Americans… I got married. We combined finances… getting that last minute postal stamp was a ritual that bound us together as Americans…My dad used to bring out the convertible for the trip…It symbolized the shared pain of tax time…

There’s nothing to renew your marriage relationship like a little bit of time apart. My husband is a Navy Reservist and has to be gone for a couple of weeks a year for annual training. Usually, the boys and I are able to go visit or make it a part of our summer vacation plans, [...]

June Cleaver: “Dear, do you think all parents have this much trouble?” Ward Cleaver: “No, just parents with children.” Ah yes, June Cleaver – the perfect mother with the perfect house and the only minimally imperfect children. Even if we’re not completely aware of it, I think a lot of us still want to be [...]
