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
To the Couple Seated Next to Us at The Bonefish Grill Last Night, I heard you. As the host walked us – me, my husband, and our two small children, hopping with excitement over the prospect of the kids’ menu and crayons they were about to get – past you, … Continue reading
So. This Mommy thing is HARD, you guys. Beyond the physical challenges of pregnancy and then functioning like a reasonable human in the midst of torture-level sleep deprivation, there is the sensory overload of being needed and yelled at and clung to and boogered on 24 hours a day.

One of my resolutions for 2013 was to post more regularly in this space… and then I went almost the entire first week of the year without posting – oops! Not off to a particularly strong start. We made it home from New Hampshire late-ish Tuesday evening, and then jumped … Continue reading
