I was just straightening the pile of towels that the kids and I had folded this morning when it hit me: my kids folded towels, this morning. They are not folded in the perfect squares that make the control freak in me feel most comfortable, but nothing about our lives today, quite frankly, makes the ...
Earlier this year I wrote about my band, Fox and the Hounds, and "My Year in Music." The truth is, if I had to site the three things that defined my past 19 months most, things that, in many ways, saved me from getting lost in a dark abyss, they would be: 1. My incredible network of loved ...
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 ...
This morning, after a full week of feeling sick and sleeping in, I got up with the kids. Except, I wasn't quite ready to get up, nor was I feeling my best, so I decided that while we were "up" we could snuggle on the couch watching music videos for a good hour before starting our ...
I started to type this post thinking that I would link to all of the New Year's Eves that I have written about in the past, referencing some recent posts about letting things go and moving forward, but in an effort to really take steps away from the past, I am going to leave those ...
Several years ago, I wrote a post specifically about my love of and history with music; But, in truth, music has infiltrated almost every space of this site. I write about our daily dance parties, my deep love for the music of Brett Dennen, my rich history with musical theatre and the soundtrack that makes up my life.
This is not a happy post. But it is hopeful. And hopeful is the best we can do. *** I love home decorating, especially covering my walls with meaningful pieces, as 511 suggests. But in all honesty, I am not yet in a place in my life where I can collect a lot of real art; I have my ...
I have written on this site, since it's inception, about my Nanny. My Nanny was my grandmother on my dad's side. She was incredibly special to me, and I lost her when I was 13 years old after a furious 6 month battle with cancer. She is why I have a thing for feathers and lucky pennies. She ...
This weekend, my Twin came to town. !!!!!!!!! I got to spend an entire, blissful, loverly 48 hours with the girl who makes me feel more like me, more like the very best version of me, than anyone else in the world. Having Twin and her most wonderful guy, whom we shall call Go Go, in our home, in our bed, as we ...
this was happening. My water broke, my contractions were three minutes apart, my mom and dad and husband and I were crowded in a small, somewhat scary delivery room, as we braced ourselves to meet our girl. Tonight, I split a piece of pizza with my daughter, and made two dozen cupcakes, and constructed my girl's favorite character out of fondant, and my mom ...
