"You think that true love is the only thing that can crush your heart; that will take your life and light it up or destroy it. Then you become a mother." -Meredith Grey, "She's Gone", Grey's Anatomy Well said, Mer. Well said. (And on a related note, holy tears!)

You know you have a girlie girl when…
You know you have a girlie girl when... She goes to Rosh Hashana dinner with lipstick on her teeth; She says "gown" instead of down"; You lose sight of her in the mall and find her here: You can always spot her in her hiding spots because of her pink, sparkly shoes. (See above.); She loves to brush her dolly's ...
When I peed on that stick (What I didn’t know then.)
When I peed on that stick, and, miracle of all miracles, got two lines to appear, I knew that I wanted to be a mother. I knew that my life was only beginning and that in living my dream, I would find joy and love like I'd never before imagined. Yes. I knew all of that. But then, there were ...
It was bound to happen…
My poor little angel face. She was up during the night with a fever. Boooooooooo. Nothing makes a mama sadder than a sick little chick. But, I can't say our day has been a total wash; We got to lie on the floor together, consumed in fits of giggles; We got to bundle up in fleece jackets and breathe in the ...
Oh, hey! Look at what I just so happened to find in the trash can!
When you become a parent , you learn the art of flexibility. Of compromise. Things will always evolve, inconsistency becomes the only constant, and "right" and "wrong" no longer exist, as all absolutes fade into a spectrum of gray. Except, of course, for this. This is never ok. (**Note to self: If ever again, you should hear "Shoe! Uh-oh!" from some faraway ...
I remember remembering.
On this day, we still remember. On this day,we pray for the future. On this day, we "imagine all the people living life in peace". May peace be with you.

Or, as I like to call it, "What our feet looked like, Friday!" Cute, no?
Gee, I really love you…
Today, my little girl and I had a mission on our hands: We had to pick up a very special dress for a very special someone's very special day. (ohemgeemybestieisgettingmarriedintwomonthsahhhhh!!!) So, despite the flooding rains, baby girl and I donned our slickers, rubbed some Moroccan Hair Oil through our tresses, and braved the elements, in the pursuit of our ...
Baby and Me.
When I watch my little girl as she carries her baby dolls around, kissing them, holding them so gently, rocking them in her arms saying "Niiiiii. Niiiii." (Nice.), feeding them bites of her chicken and sips of her milk, as she says, "Num! Nummy!" and clucks her tongue, mimicking how to eat and drink... As I watch my little girl showing ...
In other milestone news…
So, today, my kid, who now walks and talks and builds blocks and rolls over (and sits and heels....come on, keeping track of these things was much easier when she was, say, 4 weeks, and her skills were limited to things like holding her head and focusing her eyes. Anyhoo,) had a day filled with milestones. She ...
