Father, Daughter, Mother, Son

Posted by Emily

This past Friday night was our local Father Daughter dance hosted by the Girl Scouts.  For one evening, these dads get their daughters all to themselves, watching them spin and twirl and celebrate life as only little girls can.  And, I imagine, they have the opportunity to hold them close for a dance or two, [...]

Selling My Sanity

Posted by Jessie

I have limited experience in real estate transactions. We have only sold one house prior to this one, and from what I remember it was relatively quick and not too painful.  Looking back, I am thinking maybe I was just stoned on pregnancy hormones.  This time, with an extra kid, a stressed out husband, and [...]

Timeless Half Truths

Posted by Emily

In a last minute decision, I ran in my first 5K race in about three years on Friday night.  It was a fundraiser for a great cause at the middle school.  My boys were running in it.  It was a lovely evening and I had been toiling at my desk all day.  I have gotten [...]

Imagine That

Posted by Jessie

I tend to read a lot of non-fiction, until eventually I go into information overdrive and my brain short circuits like a loaded power strip.  Instead of dumbing out to re-runs of America’s Next Top Model, I decided to treat myself to a novel. On Sunday afternoon, I rifled through the “to read” pile next [...]

Mercy Rules

Posted by Emily

Saturday’s baseball game was off to a tough start for Chase’s team. Nothing seemed to click in the top of the second inning when they took to the outfield. Our 11 year old pitcher struggled to get the ball over the plate and when he did the batters took full advantage, whacking it to different [...]

Colon Chat

Posted by Jessie

Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of my life sans colon.  On April 11, 2011, I had a laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy: a 4-5 hour surgery that involved five tiny abdominal incisions and the removal of my entire colon.  Why am I sharing this information, you might ask? I don’t know. I spent the day [...]

Once…

Posted by Emily

The email arrived in my work inbox late in the afternoon of March 30th. The sender’s name was unfamiliar to me and subject line read “INVITATION” in all caps.  Normally, I would smirk at the perceived need for the upper case letters and delete the note without reading it.  I get random email invitations at [...]

Spring Break – Here We Stay!

Posted by Kerry

Hello, dear readers!  While I am roaming around New England in search of some new digs, my good friend and neighbor Kerry Luksic was kind enough to fill in for me this week at Mothers of Brothers.  Like me, Kerry is actually a mother of sisters -three of them, in fact: Emma, Carly and Morgan.  Being [...]

The Love Sandwich

Posted by Emily

Recently, I was in a meeting with a few colleagues when lunch arrived.  It was standard catered fare – a deli tray of meats and cheeses with a choice of bread and rolls, condiments, pickles, and some salads on the side.  As folks started to fix plates, one person joked that she preferred the deli [...]
