Last year, despite the fact that I came down with the flu right before Christmas, I considered flogging myself when I realized my Christmas cards would not make it out. It’s not as though I thought there were hoards of people sitting by their mailboxes waiting for a card from my little family. Nor did [...]]]></description>

Behind these shades you will find an avid people watcher and, sometimes, listener. (By the way, I hijacked the shades from my friend, Theresa. Shhh, don’t tell her. She’ll get a ransom note soon demanding a large bag of M&#038;M’s in exchange for their safe return.)
When I want to jumpstart a character that seems stuck, [...]]]></description>

I just opened a box of Crayola Crayons. You know, that huge 96 crayon box with the sharpener? I love cracking it open and inhaling the crayon aroma. It’s like delicious colors and childhood all wrapped into one. Those crayons got me thinking about smells. Here are some that I love:

The Nacho playground has a whole new look. The banner drawing was taken from a card I created; it’s been revised for this site.
As I was putting it into place, it felt as though I was giving myself a little present. That feeling got me thinking about cheerleading again. We’ve talked about assembling a cheerleading [...]]]></description>

My husband likes to call me, Bo, after one of the characters in M. Night Shyamalan’s movie, Signs. He has bestowed this nickname upon me as a result of the numerous, unfinished glasses of water I leave all over the house just as Bo did in the film.
Once upon a time, I worked for a newspaper [...]]]></description>

The other day my daughter sat on the floor looking defeated. She was mourning the loss of her pretzel which had been pulverized, its fragments driven deep into our carpet by either her father or I as we rushed around trying to do four things at once, our normal routine these days. I [...]]]></description>

Recently, I have had a handful of people in my life talk to me about “not talking.” They have spoken of spouses, friends, children, and parents who do not talk or are shutting them out.
I am not an exceptionally good verbal communicator. Strike that. I’m not an exceptionally good verbal communicator when I have to [...]]]></description>

My daughter, Dana, wants to be friends with everyone we meet on the playground which is great; I love her social nature. So, why as her Mom, do I always end up feeling like a dirty old man in a bar trying to pick people up? Whether we are in a restaurant or on the playground, [...]]]></description>
