You know you’re a mom if…(the Tuesday night’s dessert edition).

You know you're a mom if you go to fix your dessert (a key lime/greek yogurt treat. My new invention and new fave, by the by.

Just this afternoon, as our little girl stood up and grabbed her daddy's leg in a squishy-baby-skinned-embrace, he looked at me, his eyes round and wet, and asked me, awestricken,"Am I really her daddy?
