The Purple Hat

May 30, 2010

There are moments in life where you feel compelled to do something.  This morning was one of those moments.  I received an email from a childhood friend this morning (lets call her Mamma R.).  Mamma R. and I have lived on across the pond from each other for most of our life,  but distance notwithstanding, [...]

May 29, 2010

Last month, I started my own meme of sorts where I forced myself to look at where I had been, and what I had done in order to look forward and set new goals.  It was then that I announced my Run Like a Mother Mission, and the time has come as the end of [...]

Friday….take me away…

May 28, 2010

  It has been a long long week…and I admit it, on this particular Friday I am overjoyed (thank you Fancy Nancy) to have a three day weekend.  At the same time, I am fearful.  Fearful?  You must think I am crazy.  (I am, but that is a whole other topic!)…..today I will admit that I [...]

Mommy duty…

May 25, 2010

Another day with Principessa.  I have so many possible things to write about…but for today I will limit my discourse to motherhood’s finest moments. Principessa has been going to the bathroom alot. Really, as in, every few minutes.  Sometimes she cannot even wait that long–she pulls up her undies, washes her hands, and needs to [...]

I admit it, I became "that mom"

May 23, 2010

Teeth, Bikes, and Kindergarten Oh My!

May 21, 2010

I am hanging out over at DC Metro Moms today with thoughts about life cycles, big and small.  Who knew that the loss of a tooth could be such a big deal?  I am happy to report that Principessa did lose her tooth this week, and the tooth fairy (aka Rocket) was able to produce [...]
