The Adventures of Superwife

Adam and I enjoyed a much-needed weekend in Seattle without the kiddos recently, and we attempted to keep most of our conversation “adult” (i.e. not revolving around our babies). Wow, that is difficult! We managed, for the most part. At lunch on Sunday, we somehow began discussing pretty movie stars. I had accused Adam of only [...]

Ellie has really never embarrassed me in public – I’m not the mom who freaks out when her baby cries super loudly in the grocery store (or on the plane), I don’t care if she has a blowout and the stink fills the room, and I think pretty much everything she says is funny or [...]

Slides, climbing cubes, etc (you know, Step 2 & Little Tykes stuff) - but brand new those things are ridiculously expensive! I recently told Adam I’d been searching [...]

Here… please, do your research: [...]

So my boss and I are in Fairbanks this summer, where it gets REAAAAALLLLY cold in the in the winter. I mean REEEEALLLLY cold. Like, -50 degrees. Seriously. Ok so anyway… we’re talking to this pharmacy intern who says she’s from Louisiana and is leaving in September. I mention she’s missing the “best part of [...]
