A Public Apology to My Mom, and Mrs. Sparkly’s Ten Commandments Award

I am not proud about what I am about to confess to you. Worst of all, I know I will disappoint my mother the most. I committed a HUGE sin in Polish tradition. I used instant potatoes in my pierogie. It has been a  bit incredibly difficult to sit down and write a proper post these last few weeks. The weather … Continue reading »

What Would YOU Do?

My 5 daughters and I are spending today doing some VERY SERIOUS, LAST MINUTE debating whether we should move to our beloved Cape Cod, or be adventurous and opt for exciting (and MUCH WARMER) Myrtle Beach. What’s your vote?

The Calm Before the Storm…

Daughters #3, #4 and #5 trying REALLY hard to impress the Easter Bunny with their good behavior. I am taking a poll on how long this will last…

Holy Moley, Canoli!!!

“Mommy? Do Convuwtabulls Have Wids?”

Yep. I got sucked into it. The whole $600-odd million megabucks lottery tonight. I have been holed up in my studio for the better part of this past year when I have not packing for our move to Myrtle Beach, and a vacation is certainly high on my list of priorities at this point. Maybe … Continue reading »

I Love Dirty Kids

It’s the most absurd thing – this hot, beautiful weather in upstate New York. It’s been such a delight being about to walk through our woods and explore the world waking up around us, weeks and weeks earlier than ever before. And setting up the sprinkler for the girls to pirouette through in mid-March? Unreal. My cabin … Continue reading »

“Mommy? Do you think Grandpa’s ghost will follow us to Myrtle Beach?”

Today is the one year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It is also the anniversary of my Daddy’s death. My last post ended with  my doorbell ringing. There wasn’t anyone there when I answered, and oddly enough, I was not at all surprised. Ever since my father passed away, little weird things … Continue reading »

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Yes, I have collected yet another sparkling jewel to add to my necklace of life. It’s growing longer and more beautiful with every passing year. I can never understand why people get upset with age. To me it’s another year of life’s internship completed, making us that much more valuable to this magnificent “company” we … Continue reading »

“Just Don’t Make Him – Don’t Make Anyone – Your Meatloaf!”

I woke up this morning with a tingling burst of schoolgirl excitement. Today is the beginning of my “birthday octave” – the eight days before and the eight days after my birthday. The two week period where I get special treatment and goodies from my family – little things like breakfast in bed, dishes being done … Continue reading »

“Mommy? Why Do You Get to Eat Chicken Wings for Breakfast?”

“Mommy? Why do you get to eat chicken wings for breakfast?” asked a sleepy little voice this morning. Yikes! I hate it when they sneak up on you when you’re just in that moment of private delight. Like right now, when I was getting ready to eat my spicy leftover chicken wings before the girls … Continue reading »
