I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I do feel a responsibility to those people who read (and write for) NNY Life to explain my recent lull in postings. To put it bluntly, NNY “spring” sucks. This time of year, I always struggle. I know I’m not alone. No matter how… Continue Reading

Waiting for Snow
It’s the middle of January and there is no snow. None. (Because the dirty snowbanks on Arsenal St. certainly don’t count.) I NEVER thought I’d be yearning for snow in winter, but here I am, hoping and praying we get a foot. Why? 1) I stay home with little kids, and snow is free playground… Continue Reading
Diva’s FAMOUS
So, a couple of months ago I got an email from someone at Applebee’s who had found my blog online. She said they were redecorating the Watertown location and that they were on the lookout for some photos of local events. I said, well honey, you’ve come to the right place! But then I started… Continue Reading
Diva <3’s Snow
The first thing Diva did when she got home on the bus yesterday was ask to stay outside. Despite the drizzle, her hunger pangs (she is always ravenous after a full day of school), and her exhaustion (her school bus comes at 7:20 a.m. every.single.day.) all she wanted to do was play in the snow.… Continue Reading
Trying to Get Over Lost and Not Found
Things I lost on our Christmas vacation: Diva’s iPod (left behind on the plane from Syracuse to Charlotte, NC when we made a run for our connecting flight to DFW) My camera (left behind at my aunt’s house in Arkansas. She kindly returned it a week later. So, technically, it wasn’t really lost.) Things I… Continue Reading
Hunk’s Hand-Me-Downs
One of these things is not like the other. That’s what you get when you have an older sister and a mom who thinks that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. TweetFacebookLinkedInTumblrStumbleDiggDelicious… Continue Reading
A Christmas Greeting Card
I know it’s a tad early for some people, but I also know several folks who put up their Christmas trees before their Halloween decorations were down, so I don’t think I’m that far ahead of the game. Last night Diva, Hunk and I went to the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Watertown. In… Continue Reading
Monsters
For the past several weeks, Diva has been talking about monsters. She doesn’t have nightmares about them or anything. She doesn’t think they’re under her bed, or in her closet. They’ve just generally entered the conversation. Maybe it’s because it’s Halloween, but I’m not positive that’s it. The “monsters” she’s been exposed to have been… Continue Reading
Correspondence
I’m a whole-hearted lover of the modern-era way of communication. E-mail, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, texting – I fit in here and now. But today, when Hunk and Diva got their very own Halloween greeting cards in the mail, complete with handwritten notes that were uniquely considered and written for each of them, from family all… Continue Reading
Cool to Cold to Frigid in NNY: Planning Ahead
After ten years of marriage and official full-time residency in NNY, I swear I will be able to step out on the first chilly day of fall and not have to scoot my shivering tail back into the house to change – or, heaven forbid – over to Target and pay full-price for things I… Continue Reading
