Wow, I am so much fun a serious buzzkill this time of year. A couple of weeks ago on The Happiest Mom I wrote about how I don’t try that hard to create family traditions and today I’m back there again, this time weighing in on whether I think Santa is a big lie (yes) [...]

Her Heart Has 20/20 Vision
Girl Powers: Mom, when I see things – but I’m not seeing them with my eyes, you know, like, I can’t really see them – then I’m seeing them with my heart, right? Me: Right, baby. GP: Like, right now I can see Mor Mor and Grandpa’s house even though we’re not there yet. Or, like [...]
First Friends
Once upon a time, I was a new mom. I didn’t think I needed new friends, but it turns out I did. So I made one (and soon after, made more). Our babies didn’t know it yet but they would become friends, too. And so we went from this…
Saved by the FroYo
Driving in the car. Talking, as we do, about whatever’s on their minds. Somehow we end up here: GIRL POWERS: But mom, how do you REALLY get a baby in your tummy? An aside: so far we’ve been very detailed and anatomically correct about what’s going on with Baby Powers as she grows inside me. We [...]
Portland: Then & Now
This was our third summer spending time in Portland and the third year in a row visiting the same family, staying in the same place, doing many of the same things at the exact same time of year. There is something about returning to a place you have been before, only with children who are [...]
A little Tuesday list…
I just calculated the number of quesadillas I have made in my lifetime and I arrived – quite conservatively – at 1,560. There is a grosgrain ribbon in my house that will not go away. Everywhere I look, there it is. It’s red and white striped and would look lovely as a gift wrap accent [...]
Two Conversations
These are two conversations that made me laugh yesterday, and if I don’t write them down I’ll forget them, and if I don’t write them down here, then why do I have a blog? Right?
If you give a preschooler a party dress…
If you send a preschooler a package with her name on it, she’s going to want to open it right away. Once she sees that inside the package is a beautiful party dress, likely intended to wear on Easter or her upcoming 4th birthday, she’s going to want to wear it to school the very [...]
The Golden Rule
A couple of weeks ago the kids were in the bath and Mr. Powers attempted to teach Girl Powers the Golden Rule. It went something like this. HIM: Do you know what the Golden Rule is? HER: No. HIM: It’s one of the most important rules there is. It means that you should treat other [...]
Spelling, Writing & Being Fearless
I’m kind of in love with phonetic spelling – especially of the preschool variety. Maybe it’s funnier because English is such a jacked up language that nothing – really, almost nothing – is spelled the way it should be. We teach our toddlers the ABC song, painstakingly help our preschoolers learn the sound that each [...]
Hi, I’m Sarah!
I'm a writer who mothers and a mother who writes. I live in the desert with my husband and 3 kids. I channel my inner control freak by working professionally as an editor and content manager for some pretty great blogs and bloggers. This space is where I play with words and post pictures of my family.
