Ode to the nap

There are some things in our lives as children that dwindle away as we grow older, and that now as adults we may miss and strive to regain – sense of wonder, play, imagination and… the nap. That blissful ability to fall asleep whenever, wherever. Talking, singing, bouncing in the back seat one minute, then sound asleep the next. And then we, as parents, continue to drive around.

Outside of the box

I was in France one September driving through Provence. Just me in a rented Mini with the French language GPS voice, female, whom I named Gigi, and look where I ended up! (Photo above.) Gordes (gordz), France. Absolutely spectacular. Getting there was something Read More

Planning a winter getaway?

It happens every year.  We know it’s coming. Well, us northern folk do anyway.  Yet, every year we seem surprised when it actually hits.  And right now it’s just days away… maybe several, but still only days.  Snow, snow and more snow.  Then of course there’s the shoveling.  Lots and lots of shoveling.  There are some gluttons among us who actually enjoy winter. The  warm, woolly socks types.  Scarves wrapped up to here and sweaters pulled down to there.  They tromp through the snow Read More
