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 ...

We are doing this

My relationship with my son is an extremely complex one. It is so easy for me to write about my daughter (my mini-me); in fact, I have literally hundreds of posts from which to choose, that would each somehow illustrate her character or our bond. I was just searching for the post in which I ...

#teamMEA

This is a love letter to my team. Not my "outpatient team"; certainly not when I played Penn Valley Junior Girls Basketball and was on Miami; this is a love letter to #teamMEA. Dearest Loves, For someone who loves words, I am having trouble finding the right ones; this is the hardest love letter I have ever ...

My angels.

In the span of 20 hours, I was given two signs, one from each of my angels. I am choosing to interpret them as reminders to be strong. It is hard, sometimes, to remember, but, as my fortune cookies said on Sunday night, "Fate will find a way." Yesterday my mom randomly spotted this feather on the ground, next ...

An unpopular post.

I am prepared. I am used to many of my posts being greeted with great warmth and empathy. "I feel exactly the same way!" I hear. But I don't think that this will be that kind of post; it is going to be a different post. An unpopular post. And that is OK. I am writing in support of the snow ...
