Day 18: American Girl Dolls Have Taken Over

March 30, 2020 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

We have a loft area upstairs that was the dumping ground for anything that didn’t have a home when we first moved into the house. One side of it looked like this: It was my “office” and it stayed that way for about 5 years. I never had the time to clean it up, and […]

My Awesome Tiny Office

January 16, 2018 by not your average mom 14 Comments

It took me a while, but I FINALLY HAVE THE OFFICE I’VE BEEN ENVISIONING FOR YEARS. Up until about a year ago, my office was upstairs in a loft that I shared with the kids. It was part playroom, part my office. I really wanted my very own space, but we didn’t have a room […]

We All Fell In Love On Thursday

August 26, 2017 by not your average mom 1 Comment

The summer before my senior year in high school, my family went on a vacation to Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Six months earlier, my three-year-old brother had died, and this was going to be an opportunity for my family to continue to heal and to start what would become a yearly tradition. For the past […]

I Am Not Watching The Eclipse With My Kids

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple weeks, you know that there’s going to be an eclipse tomorrow (Monday, August  21, 2017) in North America. Here in CT, we will not achieve “totality.” The sun will be approximately 67% obscured at the height of the eclipse. I get that this is […]
