I don’t know why I’m always so surprised… because my mom has bought me 3 special “coming home from the hospital outfits” for each of my 3 boys.
And her tradition continues with Henry.
With 5 weeks and counting… I was greeted this morning with the first gift of his coming home outfit. Talk about getting [...]

Well, in this case, a 2004 Subaru Forester.
I must admit that as I write, my heart is as heavy as the hard chromium on a catalytic converter.
I had to take my mom’s car from her. I had to take her last symbol of eighty-three years of independence. I had to take the most [...]

We expected rain all week in New England for Mother’s Day.
So you can imagine my delight when I opened my eyes at the usual 6:45am and sun was peeking through my bedroom windows!
But where was my husband?
Downstairs making coffee, breakfast and (gasp!) cleaning the kitchen before bringing up the boys and the news that I [...]

I always knew that I had a special relationship with my mom.
But it took me awhile longer to realize that not every daughter had a mother like mine.
I guess, when I was younger, I thought that all mothers were just like mine.
I thought that all mothers woke their daughters each morning with a loving kiss [...]

With my 3 boys at home, pregnant with my 4th, working round-the-clock and “keeping house”… I had to do something.
Each time I walked by the mirror I kept thinking to myself, “Oh Audrey… you need a palm tree, some sand, the beach, a beach towel and a margarita. Oh, and a tan.”
(OK, neg the [...]

This morning my husband and I were eating breakfast at a small local diner in our town.
It is rainy here in New England today, so people were crowded into the not-really-a-waiting-area. What I love about this diner is its eclectic mix. And today was business as usual. Senior citizens sipping [...]

I was at the playground yesterday with the boys. There were 4 other mothers standing around next to me watching their kids play.
None of us had ever met, but we all had kids that were about the same ages - 5 and under.
Out of the 5 of us there, 4 of us had 3 [...]

I have no problems with kids in restaurants. In fact, I often took my kids to restaurants when they were kids. I am aware that it is certainly a learning experience for both parents and kids, and therefore (unless the kids are CRAZY wild) I have no problem with a little kid-noise in [...]

For today’s mama-find post I was fortunate enough to review the book Mothers Need Time-outs, Too by Susan Callahan, Anne Nolen and Katrin Schumann.
It changed my way of thinking. Completely.
I’m one of those women who really think they can “do it all.” I have tons of energy (even pregnant). My mind is [...]
