I was privileged to be a part of history in the making on Saturday. I don’t know that I have the words to adequately explain my motivation for attending the Women’s March or the overwhelming emotion of the day, but I am going to try. When my children ask about … Continue reading
Five is… I’m not even sure what 5 is yet – Cole has only been 5 years old for a week, and we’re still getting used to it around here. I can tell you what 5 is NOT. Five is NOT a baby anymore. Five is a definite sign that … Continue reading
It’s June. I know. I KNOW. We are heading into the end of the school year around here – which means Cole is finishing up pre-K4 (::sob::), and Adam graduated with his THIRD Master’s this month. I have gone into crazy Class Mom overdrive – we finished the yearbook last … Continue reading

So. Remember how in a total mom fail moment I probably got us banned from the New City McDonald’s for life? The puking didn’t stop there, my friends. Yesterday evening, we got home after rehearsal and dinner, and Cole complained of a tummy ache before bed. Genius that I am, … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, a friend complimented me as “having it all together.” (Stop laughing, Adam.) She went on to ask how I kept everything organized. Less than 7 days later, I missed a meeting with the same friend because I completely forgot about it. Whoops! I don’t have ANYTHING … Continue reading
