I found this great site called Sometimes Single Mom that reflects a lot of the stuff we are going through with Rob’s grueling travel schedule lately: dealing with chores when one partner’s gone a lot, who you rely on for help with the kids, scheduling, feeling alone, readjusting to being together. I feel like a Sometimes [...]

Yesterday, on the road, I heard an interview with musician Peter Himmelman on NPR where he talked about not taking gigs on Jewish holidays. He said something about it that really hit home, that it’s good to have time that’s not for sale thanks to his faith. Do you have time that’s not for sale, especially [...]

We are currently planning a trip to Hawaii’s island of Kauai for later this fall and I revisit the first trip we took there, originally posted on She Has Moxie. It seems like our recent Cancun trip, we were just looking to get someplace warm and beautiful! It’s so interesting to compare the experience to [...]

Just a few reminders in case your weekend plans, or any travel plans, are taking you away from home: Take care with the details you leave on social networking sites, especially if your real name is attached to your profile. You don’t want your home to be in danger because of a twitter message saying exactly [...]

For the last year, I’ve been travelling with a big stack of books to choose from in my Sony Reader. I measured my bookshelves and determined that 93 books stacked would be approximately 6 feet tall. Can I tell you this is my favorite thing? I read 5 new books during our last vacation and [...]
