Flashback - 5 favorite posts from September
September 30, 2008
My husband has been working long hours all this month so I've basically been flying solo around here for a month. Needless to say, I welcome October with open, grateful arms. Still, September wasn't a total wash. In case you missed it, here are five of the best posts from September. 1. Bistro de l'Hermitage - friendly French food for four-year-olds - Because excessive alliteration aside, it Read more...
5 Ideas for Child-free Fun
September 16, 2008
Sometimes, you just want to get away. We all can admit to needing a break from our kids (who, it goes without saying, we love to pieces) once in awhile, right? But sometimes we as parents get so immersed in our children's worlds that we completely forget what we did with ourselves BC (before children). In the child-free world, we can feel as though we've lost our bearings; we feel a kilter (and Read more...
Preschool Anxiety - Why the countdown to the start of school just might kill me
August 27, 2008
My son is on break from preschool. Saying this sound completely ridiculous and not only because he only started preschool this summer. The idea that my two-year-old could be "on break" from anything just makes me want to giggle. And giggle I do. Anyway, he goes back to school (*giggle*) in a couple weeks and I'm having a slow, silent anxiety attack in the run-up to this (second) momentous start Read more...
Date Night at a Coffee Shop
July 17, 2008

Besides, since we'd prefer to put our two-year-old to bed ourselves, we're usually not out of the house till after 8pm. By 10:30pm we're more focused on keeping our eyes from shutting than reveling in romance. We're wild and crazy Read more...
All About Me -- Date Night at the Hollywood Bowl
June 19, 2008
When I was pregnant with my first child, my husband and I were told time and time again, The best thing you can do for your marriage after you have kids is to have regular date nights. It's sage advice, but when you combine a nursing newborn, the high cost of childcare and two exhausted parents, date nights end up pretty low on the to do list. Now that we're starting to get this whole Read more...
Where the Moms are - Pacific Theatres' Monday Morning Mommy Movies
June 06, 2008
Before my eldest was born, I never even considered how easy it was for me to go to the movies. It didn't take long, however, for me to realize that my movie going days were over, at least for the foreseeable future. The first movie I watched several months after Caius was born ( The Devil Wears Prada ! Mmmmclothes) was also the last one I watched that year. It's been me and Netflix ever since. Read more...
