Originally published on August 12, 2014 *** I still remember the day in the fall of 2011. "YOU haven't seen Dead Poet's Society? YOU? It's like made for you!" My friend said to me as we watched our girls toddle around my living room. "It's all about poetry and literature and living deliberately. You must see it." You see, I ...
There is this thing that happens as you grow up; your family traditions stop being the rituals you have customarily shared with your parents and elders, but they start to evolve, slowly, into things that are perhaps unique and new. Last night was the first night of Hanukkah. Instead of celebrating with parents or family members or friends, ...
It is 7 o'clock in the morning, I have not yet set foot out of bed, yet the delivery man has already come to my door with a magical Hanukkah present and I just don't even know what to say besides: It is official; I have a Fairy Peepmother. Just like I always say, I have the BEST Peeps. Thank ...
This morning, I woke up to a pleasant surprise. I got an email from an old high school friend-- Well, really, if I am being honest, she is an old high school friend of my husband's; to me, she was just this incredibly beautiful and cool Senior whom I looked at and admired from afar. Come ...
Well, it may not be our thwarted big family trip to St. John, but I'm cozy, under a blanket, listening to my main man's music, working on THE NEW WEBSITE and OMG do I have a story for you as my big premiere. I literally could not make this stuff up. Stay warm and stay tuned.
Patience, my dear ones. For I am off to a happy place, where I will be celebrating my 8th Engagemaversary in that very same spot. ...is what I had written, yesterday, prepared to publish today, as I would now be off to St. John, via St. Thomas, with my entire family; Parents, siblings, kids... It's funny. Just last week, ...
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 ...
I made it no secret on here (and in my life) that I was quite nervous about expanding our family. We were a perfect triangle. I remember taking an autumn trip to the beach house with the fairy godparents and sitting on the couch for hours, literally, listing the reasons why I was scared to have another ...
if it's the last thing I do. No, really. He's so awesome. And I can safely say he is my second favorite enormously tall, bespectacled redhead. I just discovered this version of one of my favorite songs--one that we perform in my band--so I thought I'd share the love. [youtube=http://youtu.be/vjVHbI4PacQ] Heart emoji.
Where to begin? I sit here, hands tracing the keys of my laptop, but I don't know how to start our story; to really tell our story in a way that will do it justice. It probably won't make sense to anyone else. But it does to us, so I guess that is all that ...
