Hi Rene:

Longtime reader, first time writer.  I actually enjoy your pieces because most of the time you say exactly what I am thinking. I’m sad to say though the situation I currently find myself in has me stumped.

And if so, what would you want to know?

Hey all, it’s one of my favorite segments here on Good Enough Mother, Wishful Thinking! One of the things I think we forget to do when we become super-serious, bill-paying adults is to dream and that can’t happen! Dreaming keeps us young and hopeful; the latter seems to be in short supply.

Ask and ye shall receive..

The rules of family night are simple and clear; pick a movie, pile every pillow and blanket onto the living room floor, turn all the lights off and have dinner either ordered for pick up or delivered.  Kick back, eat until you burp, and laugh until soda shoots out of your nose.  There are no friends, no phones, no appointments – no exceptions.

They’re really very simple rules. As the kids have gotten older, the rules have been flexed more than I’d like, what with More >
