Hi there, Catie here! Happy to announce we survived a big (for us) family Christmas! I should really say "Big Winter Holiday" because we in no way, shape or form follow a religion. Anyhoo... Around five years ago (gosh, it might be 6 now) we decided that the three of us and our kids had… Continue reading Happy Holidays! →

Hi there, Catie here. It seems like all the energy and time I used to put into blog posting has been shifted to baking. I'm blaming the time of the year (cold, dark, rain, freezing rain, occasionally snowy) for my constant need for warmth and carbs.  My most recent experiment is this:   Who knows… Continue reading Oops Forgot to Write (Again) But We Did Fun Fall Stuff →

Hi there, Catie (with a cold) here. We're finally settled in after three weeks of almost non-stop running around. So lets see what's been going on since I last posted.... Paul and I went on a cruise (Paul's first) and had a great time. Lots of yummy food, trivia, bingo, sex, sun, pretty views and… Continue reading Sniffle, Sneeze, Cough, Hack, Wheeze, Ah-Choo →

How is it possible to be bored but busy? Hi there, Catie here, reporting in from lovely (but holy hell hot) North Carolina. Leg one of "all-the-travel-in-two-weeks-a-thon" is coming to an end. It's been a long weekend filled with puppies, trips to target, carbs (and assorted other terrible foods), a heatwave and boredom. I've been… Continue reading This Blog Is Brought To You By Boredom →

How Is It SUNDAY already?? I feel like it was just Friday morning. But I also feel like I've been awake since Friday, mostly because I've been awake since 5 this morning. On a Sunday. Why? Who knows, one minute I was sleeping between my two favorite people and the next I was wide awake… Continue reading It’s Sunday? →

Weekends go by much too quickly. This is especially true when you get to go away. Hi there, Catie here. Sorry for the long absence (again) life sneaks up on us and I forget to blog about it.  So what's been going on... A couple weeks ago Lena, Paul and I had a parents weekend… Continue reading So It Turns Out I Only Take Pictures When the Kids Come on Trips →

Hi there, Catie here. Let me start with this: WTF is going on? I know that we're a country of morons that have decided the right to own guns is more important than our children but this weekend was too much even for us. I could go on but I think this pretty much sums… Continue reading Vacation Is Over…And The News Is Grim →

Hi There, Catie here reporting in from a lovely Airbnb in beautiful New Hampshire with Orion and T. I generally have a panic attack before we go on vacations but this one? A fun, relaxing trip with Ri and T in a place we've been to a bunch of times, no big deal. I threw… Continue reading Catie’s Summer Vacation – Day One – AKA I’m An Idiot →

Sorry guys, there has just been a lot of "nothing" going on here. Hi there, Catie here! So much nothing going on that I find myself too tired to write at the end of the week, er, month? I have the best plans to do a five on Friday post but then Friday night rolls… Continue reading I’m Writing, I’m Writing →
