3+Me: Thankful for the panic

November 19, 2019November 26, 2019 emvarodesigns

They drive me nuts. They make me panic. They stress me out. And I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Am I talking about stepkids or paintings? Trick question I guess — it could go both ways. In a way, … Continue reading 3+Me: Thankful for the panic

3+Me: Elijah Wood and a dragon

November 11, 2019November 10, 2019 emvarodesigns

“Repeat after me,” my stepdaughter instructed. “Ok,” I hesitated. “H,” she said. “H,” I repeated. “I.” “I.” “Hi!” she squeaked, combining both letters. “Hi!” I echoed, minus her squeakiness. We were standing in line at Rhode Island Comic Con in … Continue reading 3+Me: Elijah Wood and a dragon

3+ME: Kids outgrow clothes, but hopefully not money lessons

July 22, 2019July 22, 2019 emvarodesigns

“Didn’t we JUST buy that bathing suit? What do you mean, it doesn’t fit?” —  Me, to my 8-year-old stepdaughter Kids outgrow clothes too fast. That’s just one of the reasons why I like to shop at Savers. If you’ve … Continue reading 3+ME: Kids outgrow clothes, but hopefully not money lessons

3+ME: Do’s and don’ts of stepparent staycationing

July 15, 2019July 15, 2019 emvarodesigns

It’s good to have goals. It’s also good to learn from, uh, messing up on those goals every once in a while. (Or if you’re ambitious, possibly more than once in a while.) Two weeks ago, I wrote a column … Continue reading 3+ME: Do’s and don’ts of stepparent staycationing
