Once upon a Cambridge spring, The stars did a dance and the moon began to sing. “She’s here,” crooned the wind, the sky gathered around her. “The best mommy’s been born! She’s here! We have found her!” You see, everyone thinks that when babies arrive They’re the most sacred things born from the sky. But the stars and the moon knew ...
Over the weekend, as we gathered around my parents' table for dinner, my kids, Kenny, mom, and dad decided to play a new mealtime game: Let's make fun of Becca!!!!! (is the working title, I believe). I have anxiety, and anxiety + pandemic + virtual school + the impending election + 2020 = MAJOR ANXIETY My kids have taken ...
Dear babies, First off, I know that you are not babies. But, I also know that when I feel one of you reach for me in the middle of the night, or smile as you greet me with sleepy, almond-eyes first thing in the morning, or kiss your eyelids as you slumber, it's just like you are my little babies all over again.

The photo above was taken last month at Ludlow House, on the Lower East Side, for my sister's pub day party. It shows a little bit of sparkle. And makeup. And the cool updo. And glitter.

I could not believe that she was doing something so grown up; that she looked so mature; that she is so beautiful. I know that it is a thing that people say, but it ...
Last week, in my post about my emotional day, I wrote the following: "I had at least a handful of moments where I would catch eyes with my son and smile and he would beam back at me with his grin that is becoming more toothy by the day. I think there is a small part of ...
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 ...
8. Sun Because why have sunshine when you could have Starshine? Made this for my daughter's nursery while she was still in the belly; when she was still twinkle.
Watching West Side Story, in it's entirety, while the house is still silent and before my feet ever hit the floor.
