I know that the calendar says it’s December. I know that my Christmas tree is up, and I know that I’m making a list and checking it twice. But if I see one more tv commercial about making sure my heater is in good working order for the winter weather, I’m going to...

It’s official porch sitters – the countdown is on! It’s December 1st and we have just 24 days to get those stockings filled and presents under the tree. If you’re like me, a serial planner, you started this holiday hustle and bustle some time ago, but now that the...

It happened again. First rattle out of the box on an early morning road trip Mr. Kaminski commenced to poking the bear. We have discussed this, he and I, my penchant for no shenanigans in the early am hours. I can get to where I need to be, but there should be no further...

I really don’t understand apathy. Now don’t get me wrong. I understand the meaning of the word – I simply don’t subscribe to it. For the life of me, I can’t think of one particular thing that I am apathetic about. I feel a certain kind of way about everything. I...

Somehow in the last 30 minutes or so, baby girl has grown up. Tomorrow, in fact, she turns 26 years-old, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how that happened. I still have her crib. I still have her high chair. I still have all of her American Girl dolls, her...

With cooler temps and the holidays just around the corner, fall is top of mind with folks right now. But in our house, the word “fall” has an entirely different meaning.
I fall. A lot. I mean that I am walking along, not a care in the world and I am a living example...

I haven’t been to New Orleans in a minute – well before Mr. Kaminski and I had babies. So, when the opportunity arose to go to the Crescent City to celebrate someone near and dear to me, I was all in. Now I was given the appropriate advice, or shall we say, warnings,...

I’ve been accused of many things in my life. It’s a lengthy list, and I choose to focus on the ones that appeal to me the most: sharp-witted, quick-tempered, the talent to accessorize in a fashion-forward manner, the gift of turning a phrase with an overt negative...

Growing up I often heard my elders use the phrase, “Youth is wasted on the young.” I never quite understood why they would say that, much less lament the sentiment when it was spoken. It always seemed a bit oxymoronic to me. Yes, I read a lot as a child.
Now that...

There are some things in this world I am just not going to be. Thin and pleasant top the list. Sure, I can do one or the other, albeit for brief periods of time, just not simultaneously. The two states are simply not conducive to co-existing with one other. Just look at...

In 1989 I saw Steel Magnolias at the movie theatre. It tore me up. Still does even though I know what’s coming. I remember thinking at only 24 years old that this was what life really boiled down to: marking time from holiday to holiday making memories as they...

When I was pregnant with my precious babies, I thought long and hard about who and what they would be as adults. Perhaps I was jumping the gun a bit, but I’m a planner – always have been. And much of that, in my mind, was reflective on the proper name that they were...
