The conversations around here are rarely dull. And sometimes, they’re downright gut-busters. Such was the conversation a few days ago, while Mayhem and I were making lemon scones: Mayhem: Mom, did you know I was going to be a girl before I was born? Me: Yep. Mayhem: How did you know. Me: Remember, I told […]

Mayhem’s Guide to Retirement
Mayhem. Retirement planning specialist. Last night our dinner conversation went a little like this: Mayhem:When I have kids, I am NOT doing all this work you guys do. Me: You mean like fix your dinner, do your laundry, play with you … that kind of stuff? Her: Exactly! Keith: Well who’s going to do it? Mayhem: […]
The Perfect Sprinkler
Spoiler alert: it’s this one – Somewhere, over time, we decided that all new-fangled things are better. If they’re bigger, shinier, more complicated, and have a heftier price tag on ’em, they’re bound to be better, right?

I’ve actually pondered each of these thoughts before, but since all three of these things happened this very morning at my gym, I thought I’d ask. So wise people of the internet, please help me […]

In the Kitchen with Mayhem + CANIDAE (for Moxie!)
But what are we going to feed her?!?! I didn’t spend a lot of time considering what we’d feed Moxie, prior to bringing her home. I knew there would be options, but until I perused the dog food aisles at the local pet store, I didn’t have any idea just how many options. Holy macaroni! […]
