Party like a rock star(?)

So, this just happened: Me: "It's almost April! We should start to think about baby's 2nd birthday party. What should we do?" Husband: "How about a 20's flapper party?" Me: "I LOVE it! What do we do? You know, besides dress as flappers?" Husband: "Hmmm....How about a Pirates v. Ninjas party?" Me: "No." Husband: "Spy party?" Me: "Absolutely not." Husband: "We could do ...

Ours/A Haiku

You call her "so lithe", while I call her "willowy"; we both call her ours.

I just want to say,

that I feel very grateful that I have a partner who not only takes care of our family every day, but who also takes extra special care of me when I'm sick. A partner who surprised me with the special Amish Egg Custard that my Nanny used to deliver to me when I was little, and the certain type of ...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but being a parent has made me a ...

She had her first day.

Today, my daughter had her first day of school. Real, big kid school. I had a hard time believing it. She had her very first backpack. She had a hand-drawn cartoon, made by her daddy, which he tucked, carefully, into her school bag. She had her feathers. She had her first day. She had the time of her life.

Um, excuse me, but…

You should know

Cooped up for the longest day ever. It was one of those days when every one second felt like four seconds. We must have read The ...
