Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Thursday, April 26, 2012. It always happens this time of year. Sometimes it is a subtle reflection— like last night— as I laid awake at 4am with three kids, one dog and one husband all stuffed into a queen size bed due to a particularly noisy storm that raged outside. Other times, it literally feels like a punch to the gut as I hear or even smell something that takes me back. June 8, 2012 at 9:24 PM. In my debut, Finding Fernanda,...

Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Thursday, January 10, 2013. With the holiday season at an end, I've finally had a few moments to collect and organize photos from the past month or so. Things are busy as always and even though I love the holiday fun with the kiddos, I was not sorry to welcome the New Year at last. We spent Christmas Eve morning at NiSource, visiting with Santa and all of the other 8th and 9th floor folks. We headed off to D and Bird's for afterno...

Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Monday, November 12, 2012. Dinner conversation.with our boys. Nothing like dinner conversation with boys aged seven and nine. Guess which child favors which parent? Donald: Dad, is infinity an odd or an even number? Taylor: Mom, did you know that dooty and duty are homophones? Did you know that but and butt are homophones? For those of you who need an answer key, Donald would be Dave's spawn and well, sadly, Taylor is mine. Dave a...

Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Monday, October 22, 2012. Out of the Mouths of Babes: Taylor, age 7. While riding home in the van from school this afternoon, Taylor took off his shoe and decided to hit his sister on the head in the row in front of him. When he was docked screen time for the afternoon, he cried, "It wasn't my fault! The forward momentum of the van made me hit her! Monday, October 15, 2012. Shelby is the only one willing to smile for the camera.

Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Friday, April 5, 2013. My Uzbek American Girl. It seems like a lot of things have been falling into place lately. Part of that has to do with the fact that after three years of employment at PRISM Marketing as a copywriter, creative collaborator and social media-ite, I have officially launched myself out of the office-based world and am now a full-time freelancer. Yet another reason to love the #1 library system in the nation.

Better than we deserve. The fun and foibles of a thoroughly modern family. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Confessions of a private school parent: Preschool meltdown. The longtime director of our daughter’s preschool was fired last week. She had begun the program 17 years before, yet despite her tenure, I would classify her dismissal as only mildly shocking, even given the short period of time left in the school year. The “ranter” shares her incredulity at the director’s termination, “f...I am a monster propon...
