A big part of why my relationship with TechBoo works is that aside from the unavoidable issues related to the distance, we each function the same way we would as if we were living under the same roof full-time. In other words, we work together on the mundane, the logistical, and the drudgery too. Effective [...]
I love it when Baby Girl and Mini-Me get to spend time with TechBoo. I get tired just watching them. So much energy and joy.
Thanks, as always, to El Ex for making this possible. Because he acts like a grown up and doesn’t disparage TechBoo (or me, for that matter) to our girls, the girls [...]
Spending some one-on-one time today and tomorrow with Mini-Me, starting wtih breakfast at our favorite crepes place. Then errands, then basketball practice, then…who knows? A day, a treasure.
“You’re super-smart and a great writer, so…”
I love conversations that start out like that. I love it even more when the remainder of the conversation isn’t someone trying to get me to write for free.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened more than a few times after I hung out my proverbial shingle and offered up [...]

She really breaks it [...]
This morning, on one of my favorite blogs, Daily Plate of Crazy, Big Little Wolf mused about couples who live “together”, separately. Couples like TechBoo and me. Here’s some of what she had to say:
“I was perusing one of my favorite French sites last night, and came across this article on couples who live [...]
Since TechBoo started a new job last fall, he doesn’t have the same access to email and phone that he did in his previous job. So when he texted me to see how my meeting went this morning with the agent who is interested in the co-parenting book that El Ex and I are [...]
While searching for a photo to accompany the post below (which is a cross-post from CoParenting101.org), I was surprised to discover that Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee had explored open marriage and wrote about the experience in their joint biography.
A few months ago, I read a guest blog at Stepmother’s Milk by Kela Price, [...]
I have hit the motherhood trifecta. I am a mama by birth, by adoption, and, in exactly 80 days, I will become a stepmama. So, I’m thinking about stepmotherhood a lot these days, and of course, reading books by stepmoms. Books like…
First things first: Let’s clear up any misconceptions you may have [...]
Let’s see…
Awakened at 1 AM by a noise, sounds like a Mack truck in my furnace room. Call TechBoo to troubleshoot. End up having to cut the power off to the furnace at the circuit breaker. Send text to plumbing/heating/contracting guy. Drag portable heater into girls’ bathroom so that they can get dressed in a [...]
