This week we experienced a momentous day in the world of our tribe: My girl got to meet our newest member. Who is this new, beloved boy, you ask? Well, I will tell you. *** In my Junior year of High School I became best friends with a girl with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart. She has ...
In thinking of a word to describe how I am feeling this morning, "bittersweet" was the first to come to mind. But, upon looking up the actual definition of the word, I realize that "bittersweet" (which, BY THE BY, is also the name of a poisonous Eurasian woody vine (Solanum dulcamara) of the nightshade family that ...
Today, I had a major mom milestone. I threw away the very last bottle from my very last baby. I started writing about milestones when my daughter was 2 months old and now she is a real person. She is currently sitting leopard print rug in my bedroom, playing "Vanaculy" (*Editor's Note: Monopoly) with her godmother. Time ...
My oldest, dearest friend turns 30 today. She is a wonderful human being, a most devoted friend, a woman with fantastic morals and virtues and the Godmother to my son. When she and I were little, we had a band. You may have heard of it, it got really big in Germany: RJ BEFO She and I ...

I guess it's kind of an unspoken rule that when you go to your (fairy) godmother's house, you'll come home with something fabulous. So not only did my daughter get sparkly Elsa Jelly Beans and a book of Frozen stickers, but we got to come home with these bad boys. I just hope that my kid will ...
Happy Five Month Birthday to my little (VERY LARGE) guy. This morning, I reflected back on the post I wrote when my daughter hit this same time mark. Then, I mentioned how I didn't know where the five months had gone; searching for them, I could not find them anywhere. Time was going by so quickly. I feel ...
I was staring at my 2 month old daughter this afternoon, as I tend to do, most afternoons, when it hit me.. I now have a magic power. I get to be the one who kisses her boo boos to make them all better. How lucky am I? And to think, all this time it's been the Fairy Godmothers who've ...
