Tisk. Tisk.

May 24, 2010

While he was in the midst of folding towels tonight I remembered the first time John had attempted to help me with laundry. He had offered and I had agreed – reluctantly. And then, in my true defensive and self-protective fashion, I snapped something at him like, “you’re not folding them tight enough. Just let [...]

Hello again

May 18, 2010

I think I need to re-introduce myself. I started this blog as a 28 year old with a far less wrinkles and even less of a clue on how to date as a single mom. Nearly three years later – here I am. With far more wrinkles, a giant 4 year old son and even [...]

At the start

April 13, 2010

I have been so wrapped up in my own happiness lately – with my work, with John, with Benjamin (and not necessarily in that order, fluctuates with the day or more often, the time of day) – that I have lost sight of why I started this blog in the first place. A few weeks [...]

A messy business

September 13, 2009

“Are those poop bags in your pockets again?” I see the top of a bright blue plastic bag sticking out of his shorts. “I always come prepared,” he says. Always is right. John Bear is seldom without a poop bag or two sticking out of his cargo short pockets. I’m always telling him to stick [...]

Man Park or Dog Park?

September 10, 2009

I would never compare men to dogs. Never. Nope. It’s just not my style. I love my men. Before I found John Bear many of you called me a man-hater. But now I’m a walking talking dog and man loving machine. Yesterday, inspired by your adventure stories, we hopped in the car and went to [...]
