I just want to advise you,

that if you decide to bring your 9 month old child into your closet with you, so that you can keep an eye on her while you are getting dressed, she will pull every shoe off the shelf, kiss herself in the full length mirror, and wear your underwear as a hat. Or, at least, that's what I've heard.

And Many More…

Happy Birthday, dear Daddy. We are so proud to call you ours. And, even though you are now an oldie, you are very much, and always will be, a goodie. We love how you sing us lullabies, and give us back rubs, and light up when you see us. We love how you are patient, and so kind, and how your goodness radiates from ...

“Star of Stage and Screen”

Remember these guys? Good old 1980s dancing flowers. With sunglasses. Of course. I got mine on a trip to FAO Schwartz when I was a little girl, and I loved to turn on a song and watch my flower sway and bop and groove to the music.

So, this week, I succumbed ...

I can honestly say

that in the 267 days since my little button first graced us with her presence, tonight is the very first time that I am not ready to let her go to sleep. Someone started teaching again, today. Any guesses as to whom I'm referring? And on a related note, that thing about absence making the heart grow fonder? So true. So so ...

On Gratitude and Giving

As a new mother, there are so many things that I am grateful for on a day to day, minute to minute, moment by moment basis. I am grateful for my baby's smiles. I am grateful when she says "mama" and looks at me with such love. I am grateful that she is finally starting to grow some hair. I am ...

On a snowy Saturday

you don't have to change from your pajamas. You can stuff your belly with brownies and brie cheese and it feels good because you have nowhere else to be. You can linger over your mug of cocoa, from your perch on the nursery floor, and laugh with your full heart and full belly, at the giggling, squealing little pink person before you. You kiss ...
