Irreconcilable differences. It has been a disaster from the start. Today, I decided to try again. And I was so proud; I took our picture sharing this smoothie that tastes like tropical fruit and salad and was planning to say something like, "Kale, Take two! Woo!" Oh, look at us. Drinking our superfoods in harmony. But, being home with a ...
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 ...

This is a post about mugs. Yes, you read that correctly. More accurately, I guess, this is a story about mugs. I've recently published some heavy stuff on here, and though I always like to share the parts of life that are hardest (about "what hurts" as my main main Hemingway has advised)-- --and sometimes I simply post because I am fortunate ...
Do you know what is the best? The best is when you're sitting in your office (read: on the bed, laptop propped up on the faux fur pillow on your lap) and you get a call from your amazing Public Relations Manager, Kimberly Ettinger, and Kim says, "I just got a message from the people at Main Line Today and ...
So, today started like this: https://instagram.com/p/49AmvkSz_2/?taken-by=mommyeverafter And, by the way, hashtag no nap. And our son just figured out how to watch Family Guy on the iPad.

Over the weekend I got into a really interesting discussion, both online and IRL, about the content of my site. It is no secret that I speak very honestly about all aspects of my life, and that means that I reference aspects of my "Hopeful Story" which, as much as I don't like to dwell on ...
Yesterday, besides dancing around and singing about Camp and having the deepest conversations ever with my 5-year-old, I got to enjoy a few other things.
