Sisterhood

"You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. Do you know how rare that is?" -Ann Brashares, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" I am blessed to have "friends" who are actually my family.

Who else but that baby sis

will send a late night email, headed "THREE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS!!" that details three separate accounts of the goings-on of some of our favorite Bravo-lebrities and Bloggers?!(!?!?) It should also be noted that: This morning, we planned her future wedding song, talked about the Sex and the City re-run that we had both, coincidentally, just re-watched and came up with ...

Something New!

My sister and I, like any two people, have strengths and weaknesses. She is not great at cutting with scissors. I am terrible at parking. Weak. Yet, She is a Journalism whiz kid and I am an expert at Dirty Dancing. But, one thing that we are both really, really talented in is Blog Stalking. We are total blog-o-holics. In ...

HAPPY…

New Year! I hope that two thousand and twelve brings you peace and love. And dance parties and belly laughs. And glitter. And baby kisses. And more love. And Happy Anniversary, to me. To us.

nobody puts daddy in the corner

What does it mean to be the daddy of a little girl? I know that in my house growing up, it meant many things. My dad grew up with 3 sisters. He then had 2 daughters and a female dog. He was a life-long swimmer in the estrogen pond, so to speak. In some ways, my dad is ...

One Year Ago, Part 3

Tonight, as we placed the baby in her crib, and she stroked her own full, delicious cheeks with her tiny delicious hands, I couldn't help but to realize that she was wearing a very special nightgown; This gown was the very first anything that my husband and I bought for the baby. It is butter soft, and filled with ...

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby. If the Sex and the City ladies are my best adult girlfriends, then Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz gang were my dear childhood playmates. You see, for me, The Wizard of Oz was more than a film.
