Please Excuse Me While I Backslide

October 26, 2016October 27, 2016 / mlgehan / Leave a comment

Do you remember September? It was so full of sparkle and promise. We had a plan AND a schedule. These lockers in our mudroom? Things used to be hung up in them. Children set their own alarms and got up when they went off. And then, instead of smacking it and climbing back into bed...THEY GOT … Continue reading Please Excuse Me While I Backslide

Birth Order and Beef Jerky

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty sure I've created a new genre.) I'm not sure why the kids can't master the changing of … Continue reading We’re (Not) On A Roll….

The Crazy Sports Parent…A Look in the (Rearview) Mirror

October 3, 2016 / mlgehan / Leave a comment

My oldest child is 14. I still remember the day we inserted her first tiny shin guards (pink!) into her tiny little soccer socks (pink!) and laced up her tiny little cleats (black - but on sale!). She was 3. Two more babies were born and  - between the 3 of them - Saturday morning … Continue reading The Crazy Sports Parent…A Look in the (Rearview) Mirror
