Search for "feather" | Mommy Ever After

The little feather that could.

This morning was a morning like most others. We watched an episode of My Little Pony, found the "Tuesday" underwear from my daughter's drawer, hurried her off to school, as my son and I stayed in our pajamas. My son and I snuggled up in bed for a good two hours and napped together, as I fell ...

Wonderful and Featherful

You guys. Seriously, you rock. You've made my birthday so wonderful and you've filled it with amazing treats, feathers, and, most of all, words. You've shared your words with me today and each note, each word has meant something to me. So thank you. And I'm covered in feathers, from my top To an incredibly special gift on ...

A very feathered surprise.

(originally published on 511) What's better than having a strength symbol in your home? MANY strength symbols. More feathers!! So while our kiddo bathroom is slowly transforming into a bird sanctuary (with the peacock rug and birdcage light fixture) I have decided to add some very feathered wall paper to a surprise spot in our home. It looks a bit like this... and where it goes... you'll just ...

Hanukkah is the thing with feathers

I know that I have been a little quiet lately, and my only excuse is that it's Hanukkah. And I'm me. I've been busy. But, I can't let another night go without telling you about my most special, night 1 present. Here it is. And in case my fabulously clear and professional looking photobooth picture doesn't do it justice, It's a lariat, long ...

find a feather, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck

This morning, a very special someone, gave me a very special feather. She had found it, and thought of me, and placed it in my hand, as I started my day. So, if you're reading this, thank you, M, for the feather, and, most especially, for the thought behind the gift. It means more to me than you know. Love, Your Fine Feathered Friend.

“hope is the thing with feathers…”

I believe in angels. I don’t mean that I believe in the winged icons that hang with halos as holiday ornaments. I believe in benevolent forces, the spirits of those we’ve loved and lost, that watch over us, protect us and guide us through our days. When I’ve needed help, or dug down deep for strength, I’ve been ...

Spoon

This morning, I woke up to my son snuggling into me. I moved around and, despite my best efforts, roused him from a dream. He looked up at me and he smiled. It was early, the sun not yet commanding the sky, and I told him to go back to sleep. "Can I be your little cub?" he ...

What I want, now.

Last year, right around this very time, I published a post called, What I Want, which was both a Holiday Wish List and a nod to The Spice Girls. Last November, I wrote, "There are so many meaningful things that I want this holiday season, and none of them can be held in my hands. I want for my family and ...

New Year’s Resolutions

Hello! Here I am! I could write about the last couple of weeks, and how much has happened, and everything about the book the book the book, but I think that we could all use a break from the book the book the book. And I have a promise on which to make good. On New Year's Eve I ...
