Show & Tell: Nothing to Show OR Tell!

I’m participating in this week’s Show and Tell, though I have nothing significant to share.
It was one of those weeks when I couldn’t believe Friday had rolled around again. I’m not the most efficient person in the best of times, but when things get really busy, I get really inefficient! And then I just can’t [...]

Show and Tell: A New Look

Mel at Stirrup Queens hosts a Show and Tell each week; take a visit over there and see what folks are sharing this week.
I’ve been thinking about the look of my masthead and really wanting something different. If you’re curious about the old look, here it is:
It was just the typography, no photo. I liked [...]

I Want to Say “I Told You So”

Vintage Girl has never been the kind of kid who says a casual “bye Mom” and goes off. Even as a toddler, she stayed close to me during “playdates” and other gatherings. Almost every morning has been a difficult good-bye, whether I was leaving her at daycare or at preschool or at kindergarten.

This morning, Vintage Girl came downstairs, looked at her breakfast (lovingly cooked by her mother) and said: “Wow, that looks YUM!” I nearly fell over. She is [...]

When I started planning Vintage Mommy, I intended to share every detail of our open adoption story, hoping that prospective adoptive parents would find it interesting and encouraging. My intentions were innocent and altruistic.
Side note: what prompted me to actually sit down and write my first post was the announcement of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, which [...]

A Big Milestone and a Small Milestone

Today was Vintage Girl’s last day at the child care center she’s gone to for almost five years. She started when she was barely three, in their preschool program. Then last year she “graduated” to Big Kids, their after-school program, when she started kindergarten. We love this place; it has become a part of all [...]
