The girls are worshiping the dehumidifier like a false idol. They hug it, talk to it, turn its knobs and squeal with delight when it starts. Its love. I tried to explain the weirdness of this to some friends and fam, most of them New Englanders, but the humor was lost. Dehumidifiers don’t translate. I [...]

With the girls coming up fast on 1 year, I’m afraid I’ll forget all the funny, beautiful little pieces of their babyhood. Like when Lulu was discharged, all 3lbs 2ozs of her, and got her back to our room and handled her like an ice cream cone on the verge of melting. We insulated her [...]

The jungle has made junglemom a total wuss. I can’t handle cold. And I know cold. Serious cold. I grew up in the far north, I know about snot-freezing cold. Or at least I did. The tropics have made me soft. I was shivering in my hotel room and the thermostat said 72. What the [...]

“Christmas hangs in the fog but I can see it for miles For holly red bulbs and snow I go, I go! And you are there you trip and fall I love you even more.” -Fanny Howe I took a walk in sunshine and green fields today, but I’ve got snow on my mind. I’m [...]

“I am so busy doing nothing… that the idea of doing anything – which as you know, always leads to something – cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.“ -Jerry Seinfeld Oh boy, I accomplished nothing today, maybe less than nothing, and it was sensational. I really wish we’d [...]

I’m reading this book and it’s kind of messing with my head. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Yea Oprah turned me on to it, I admit it. It’s all kinds of crazy. I love it. Its massively long, 973 pages yo, but so interesting it’s just flying by. I’m on page 433 [...]

Junglemom is back and ready to respond to all those excellent comments, but first a little story.

He reckons this lasted at least a few years. That is [...]
