The Trampoline Philosopher

Posted in Junior, parenting on December 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I worked from home yesterday, to give Junior a much-needed break from the endless holiday break play-dates, ski camps, and YMCA care. I got a nice break, too, when I spent a few minutes on the trampoline with him (it IS 60 degrees here in Boulder, CO after all). During a little tramp snuggle time, [...]

Buzzzzzzzzz

Posted in Junior on May 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Junior really wanted a buzz cut.  Or so he told me.  And the barber. So, he got one.  Then he cried.  He wouldn’t let me take an “after” picture.  Though he did claim two hours later that it was starting grow out already!

T-Ball 101

Say “Hi” to Coach MaryBeth.  And no, this isn’t a life-long ambition fulfilled at last – sorry, no bucket-list check-off for this one.  It would be more appropriate to put this in the “No good deed goes unpunished” column.  Either that or “Naivete has its price”. Who knew (we didn’t) that Little League coaches were [...]

Trading Kids….An Adult Steamboat getaway.

Posted in family, Junior, parenting, skiing, tagged , , on January 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

In one of our very first posts on this blog, we talked about Trading Kids. We put that system to the test a couple of weeks ago when Mark and I went to Steamboat for 5 days of ski heaven. Without Junior. Before we left, I let both our Nederland friends and Junior’s preschool know [...]

Chicken Coop “Remodel”

Posted in chickens, family, Junior, tagged , , on January 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

While the girls get along nicely in the coop that came with them, the design wasn’t quite right for this “shorter” mama. Egg collection required squeezing my entire head and left shoulder/arm into the tiny coop door while simultaneously trying not to inhale the chicken poop that was invariably on the threshold. Enter my two [...]

DINKS (with kid) discover Geocaching!

Posted in family, geochaching, Junior, tagged , , on January 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

What do you do in the winter in Nederland, CO when the wind is howling at 50-80 miles per hour? Ski at Eldora? Only if psycotherapy isn’t working as well as you’d hoped. Curl up at your friends’ house with mug of chai and some delicious Gingersnap Cookies? Well, yeah……and you also brave those 50-80 [...]

Gingerbread House III

Posted in baking, cooking, family, Junior, recipes, tagged , , , on January 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I don’t remember too many classic “family traditions” when I grew up. Of course, I have fond memories of certain favorite meals, and my mom’s homemade goodies, but no “every Christmas Eve we _______”. When we had Junior, I vowed to have at least one tradition around the holidays, and my choice was one I [...]

First Snow….and we’re still Biking!

Posted in bike commuting, biking, Junior, parenting, xtracycle, tagged , , , on November 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I can’t imagine why Junior didn’t want to ride his bike to school Friday morning. It took a lot of convincing, but he eventually caved….and we had a lot of fun. As usual.Lately we’ve been into “experiments” and “observing”. I think it might be genetic. During this snowy commute, we observed that some trees still [...]
