I am the writer/owner of ‘MA! motherhood with attitude.’ The artist/owner of our company, Tiffany, will add her two cents on this blog now and then, as well. Tiffany and I often talk about the struggle to earn a buck through our freelancing as we also try to make the ‘MA! dream’ come true. Our mission is to expose ‘perfect parenting propaganda’ for what it is: hogwash! We adore imperfect parents (and embrace the fact that we are among them.)Spring Break 2009
The kids are back in school after a wonderful spring break! Dave didn’t have any time off, so I hauled the girls and our beast of a dog to my in-laws’ cabin in Grand Lake. Not exactly sandy beaches and drinks with umbrellas, but still a great getaway.
I spend so much of my life in this basement… And when I’m home, I feel the need to do chore after chore. It’s my manic routine. Last week, though, I was away for five days with my girlies! We hiked, we painted, we read (we’re now into the second Harry Potter!), we played Yahtzee, we ate junk food… My in-laws were up there, too, and they are a total blast. They got Allie a ‘bug-maker’ for her 6th birthday, so all five of us made ugly, slimy bugs one afternoon. (It’s like an EasyBake oven for bugs! Totally up Allie’s alley.)
So, now it’s back to the grind. I have a list of To Dos and Should Dos, the laundry is going, dinner is planned. I do love my routine. But it’s nice to escape it now and then to realize how good I’ve got it when I come home.
