May I gloat?
It is really hard to not talk about skating this time of year. Even though it’s a balmy 95 degrees outside, the figure skating season is in full swing and we are spending many mornings at the rink. Sass had her first competition of the season a couple weeks ago. Three days after she competed we jumped on [...]
Shoe talk
Do you say “please put your shoes and socks on” or “please put your socks and shoes on”?
Speaking of shoes, there was a person with a stinky foot problem today at the figure skating rink . I dared a fellow skate mom to walk by him and take a whiff. She did. [...]

Preparing to Chaperone squealy girls whose ages range 7 thru [...]
Soccer Moms
I envy the soccer mom. They seem so full of life and energetic; always driving with a car full of soccer balls, sliced oranges, and other treats for the team. Looking cute in their jogging shorts, T-shirt and matching running shoes. Sporty hair and a glowing tan from the warm mornings in the sun. Yes, [...]
