There is a little secret that I have never told you before. I loathe grocery shopping. I avoid it at all costs, in fact. I would rather eat a PB&J or Cheetos for dinner than have to run out to the store. It is just not my thing. So, it has become one of my ...

Clue?
This evening, as my bestie was getting ready to leave after an afternoon of just hanging with the kids, she called to me in the kitchen, where i was cooking steak and putting away the entire drawer of tupperware that the baby had emptied. "There's a crime scene in here!" she called. And there it was. Right before ...
The time out chair.
This week started out a little rough. I was out of sorts, you could say. Perhaps it's the time of year, or something chemical, but I have found my anxiety to be at an unusually high level. For instance, on Monday, my husband left his phone in the car when he went up to his office. I ...
Search Engine Optimization
So, the cool thing about running a Wordpress site is that you can see your statistics every day; while I can't see who views my posts, I can see how many unique viewers I get, how many views, what sites have directed traffic my way, the fact that today my blog was read in the ...
“Everything is Not Okay”
This summer, I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in a story for Main Line Parent Magazine. I was approached after publishing my originally story on my postpartum depression. They took my story, and the stories of two other women, to print a feature in the goal of helping others, which is all ...
Just when you think you’ve made the craziest call to the pediatrician ever…
So, back in July, I made what I thought was the craziest call to the Pediatrician's office ever. (We thought my son had some kind of spreading rash when it was just a stain from the previous night's cherry water ice.) Well, I just may have topped it. Let me just set the scene: Temporarily, because of some work ...
“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you. A. A. Milne.
In the sky with diamonds.
"Let me listen to your heart." my daughter said, as she came towards me just now, half dressed, as we were getting ready for the day. She had a stethoscope around her neck and a pajama top still on. "Where is your heart, mommy?" So I showed her and she placed the little round piece of ...
What makes it all worth it.
So, this is a tough week. I knew it would be, and it did not disappoint. I was haunted by ghosts, plagued by nightmares, and sometimes, I felt like I was drowning. It is hard for me to admit that in actual words, by the way--to confess that I feel weak and helpless and most ...
Snapshot of a Day
Tuesday, November 4th. It is Election Day. It is my Poppy Don's 86th birthday. It is the date when my son was supposed to have his bris, had he not come 4 days before his scheduled C-Section. But this Tuesday is also an anniversary, and not a good one. A year ago on the Tuesday of this week I received ...
