How did it get to be Monday already? The weekend passed in a vortex of youth sports and laundry. Now, my husband is out of town again, the calendar is packed with activities and carpools and I have a zillion work things to accomplish this week. Feels like I need a Monday Morning To Do [...]

The Chaos Chronicles podcast 225 is for you! It’s got it all– and more! On the show this week: Alex Chilton: my college radio imaginary boyfriend A tribute to Alex Chilton, [...]
Creativity: an attitude, not an action Every week, I get an e-mail asking me cultivating a creative life. The emails come from mothers, fathers, empty nesters, over- worked employees, and Panini Generation members who are all looking for a way to express themselves. But somehow, they are stymied when it comes to starting. I take [...]
Happy Monday, Chaos Crew… I would like to give full credit to Jill from Anaheim for this blog post idea. Thank you, Jill. You made me LOL last night when I read your e-mail. Jill and her husband have fantasies about the retail emporium that they would like to start. In Jill’s words: I am [...]
Homepage madness! Thanks, oprah.com! For summer camp freak out, see below. But first, check out the smokin’ hot placement on oprah.com for my article “Six Friends Every Mom Needs in her Momtourage.” Thanks, oprah.com.

Cucumber sandwiches aren't the same without you, VTWB. A few weeks ago, I sent out a desperate tweet: Why, why doesn’t any big bakery make slider buns? And then I added to my 100 characters, “Get on it , Pepperidge Farm. ” And you know who tweeted back? Pepperidge Farm! The actual Pepperidge Farm! They [...]
My name is Lian. I am a serial school volunteer. Thanks for all the e-mails about my school auction on Saturday night. Yes, I survived the auction with my new boots and my old feet in tact! The event went off like clockwork, despite a heavy downpour the night before and another during the party. [...]
hahaha. Being 45 makes me laugh! Thanks for all the birthday wishes– here, there and everywhere! For someone who is “not a birthday person,” I am sure enjoying the attention! Chaos Chronicles 221 is up at the website. As I write this, we are still working on some technical issues with iTunes. Again, the quirkiness [...]
