This post - titled, "The Hardest Post I've Ever Written," was originally published on here on February 24, 2014: on my son's four-month-birthday. That means, of course, that this was written at exactly four months postpartum, for me. I am re-posting this, today, to give context to some of what is to come; some of what ...
Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I cannot tell you how many times I have said that line, whether it was in reading a bedtime story to my children, teaching a "Baby and Me" or an after school theatre program in my former life as a teacher, or in creating a curriculum aimed at building confidence ...
This is a post about a music class. Except, it's really not.

After an unsuccessful one month and four days at overnight camp, I was a bit lost, until I found my personal mecca in the form of ...
I may have mentioned on here that I am turning 30 in 3 days. If you have been reading Mommy, Ever After for awhile, you will know that we are very big on birthdays around here on these parts. I wrote about brainstorming a theme for my daughter's first birthday when she was 6 months old. Last year, ...
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 ...
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 ...
