Some of you may not know that I spent several of my growing up years in Israel. My parents, thinking we’d be living there forever, sent my sisters and I to an Orthodox Jewish elementary school where we learned Hebrew by immersion. We also got some cultural broadening, all of which I appreciate more now [...]

Saturday will be Maggie’s 4th birthday! We’re having a Princess “lemonade party” (little girls’ version of a tea party) on Friday morning for her and we’ve been getting ready for it all morning. Colin started by cleaning up the family room and setting up Maggie’s Hello Kitty tent, which Heidi is more excited about than [...]
Bethany just turned to me, as I was happily facing-book, going-daddy, and brainstorming about the evolution of ENFPConsulting, and said, “I’d like you to go onto my blog and write about How to Title Recipes.” And thus we are.

I asked Degen if he wanted some pineapple for a snack this afternoon and he refused until I took him over to the refrigerator and showed him the Ziplock full of leftover pineapple from last night’s pizza toppings.
