Amazing stuff this week

Posted by Jennifer

These pillowcases arrived in the mail yesterday.  I snagged them on eBay for a song. Yes, Master-Slave pillowcases from the 1950s,  beautifully hand embroidered and crochet-trimmed.  He’s smugly reading his science fiction, she’s exhaustedly holding a feather duster. I put them on etsy and they sold almost instantly, for quadruple what I paid.    I was kind of [...]

Greetings from Home. Wish You Weren’t Here.

Posted by Emily

I think Dave and I both had the good sense to see it coming.  By “it” I mean the palpable tension that arises about this time each summer when Dave is not working and I am slaving away.  I know all about teachers and summer.   I come from a family of teachers who enjoyed their [...]

N’ Sync

Posted by Emily

Dave and I split up last night. It happens to the best of us.  For Dave and me, it happens almost every day.  It is a necessary evil for busy parents with busy kids.  I took the Winter Music Concert; he took the Bar Mitzvah meeting.  Both events were mandatory and began at the exact same time. [...]

From the Office of the MOB -Elect…

Posted by Dave

…a.k.a…FOB.  No, I haven’t finally won a closely fought run-off election.  More like a shady late hour appointment.  After talking briefly with Em on the phone after school yesterday, she informed me that she was coming down with the plague virus that has apparently afflicted every other member of our extended family.  So… rather than [...]

A Dog’s Life

Posted by Emily

Coming off the weekend, I had a number of topics from which to choose for this glorious Monday morning post. In fact, I had actually settled on a bit of commentary surrounding my recent experiment involving some over the counter CVS brand teeth whitener. However, MoB readers will have to sit on the edge of [...]

Home Alone…with Mommy

Posted by Emily

I have been a single parent for six straight days. I kind of liked it. It’s not a situation I would want to become permanent. But there is something about claiming all parental controls for your very own for a few consecutive days that is rather appealing. I think I saved at least five hours [...]

Last Friday as I toiled away at my desk, Dave went to the Home Depot and bought two Adirondack chairs for our yard. Never one to skimp when it comes to the Depot, he purchased real redwood because “plastic is cheesy Share and Enjoy:

15 Minutes…14 Years

Posted by Emily

My fifteen minutes of fame could be over. As you read in my Tuesday post, I was on the 95.7 Ben FM morning show with DJ Marilyn Russell yesterday. We did a five minute Woman of the Week segment live – and then taped another 10 minutes to play on a future Sunday show. Yup [...]

Best Dad on Earth

Posted by Jennifer

Hey, Brad Pitt has been named the best dad in the world! Votes were cast at the Web mag StyleList.com, which clearly attracts a deeply thoughtful, even scholarly, crowd. With excellent personal knowledge of Brad’s parenting skills. I might agree that Brad is the best looking dad in the world. But THE BEST? Put him [...]
