Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there! We just received a fun Mother’s Day delivery a few minutes ago. My husband nominated me for Saint Cupcake’s Top Mom…and they chose his entry! You can read my hubby’s sweet words on the Saint Cupcake blog. I snagged a good guy, eh? Check [...]
Sunny Saturday in Portland: worked this morning… went to a nearby farm where we got seeds & herbs for spring planting, the kids got to play with the chickens and goats (and barn cat), hubby & I enjoyed a tasting of Provincial Vineyards wine and took home a bottle of their lovely 2010 Single Vineyard [...]
Several months ago, my then-4-year-old daughter declared she’d like a Princess Party. We were only inviting girls, and the colors were to be bright pink, orange, and blue. Easy peasy, right? Then right before I was about to send out her invitations, she decided she wanted to invite the boys in her class (or, rather, [...]
My daughter’s 4th birthday theme — butterflies — last year was quite fitting for the year ahead. In the past year, she has truly blossomed into this little person, transforming from my baby girl into this kid with big kid vocabulary, incredible reading skills, legs too long for jeans in her usual size, spot-on sarcasm, [...]
We moms are often the last to forgive ourselves, aren’t we? We are laden with guilt, heavy with “if only I had done this” and “I shouldn’t have said that.” We live in the no-win zone daily, and we reserve the harshest judgment for ourselves. But if our kids forgive us so easily, so too [...]
I’ve been accused of saying “thank you” too much. A fellow communications colleague once told me that there comes a point when someone says “thank you” too much, and it becomes unbelievable, it takes away from the power of the words. I thanked her, silently wished her more happiness in her life, and only see [...]
Last weekend, I woke up to hear the sounds of my kids talking downstairs. I recognized my son’s “teaching” voice immediately: not quite patronizing toward his younger sister, but definitely practicing his adult tone of voice to exert authority. Then I heard footsteps. Two cute little beings appeared, with satisfied grins on their cute little [...]
My name is Marlynn, and I take a lot of vacations. BWAHAHA. If you know me – or are a fellow parent entrepreneur – you know that sentence does not just roll off the tongue. For the past six years as a serial entrepreneur, I have traveled only about 4-6 times a year, and most [...]
I like to write little love notes to my kids at random times. It’s a cheesy MOM thing that I like to do. Once in a while, when I am working late, I will walk into the living room to find a little love note of sorts addressed to me from my kids, placed strategically [...]
I love weekends. I especially love weekends where we live. We don’t have to go far to enjoy a wealth of family-friendly fun. Today started out with our usual hanging out in the kitchen. Coffee. Breakfast. Workouts. Food Network. (I work out while watching Food Network. It’s the only way, people. The only way.). Then [...]
