On this fine Saturday, I

stomped on crunchy leaves, was yard sold, bought about 5000 almonds for about 5 dollars, mashed an avocado, called Lola "Loly Guacamole", realized that my new candles actually smell like B.O., purchased a Disney Princess Snuggie, returned a Disney Princess Snuggie, saw 2 giant feathers, missed my angels, wished I could share a funny story with my angels, remembered that my angels probably already knew it, said ...

So guess what? I'm officially part of the waddle club, again! No, I'm not pregnant. Tricked ya, didn't I? Seriously, though. This afternoon it hit me. I'm no more mobile today than I was when I was lugging a 7lb baby around in my uterus. Why, you ask? The infant car seat. Trying to schlep a baby (especially a baby who happens to be ...

How in the world did she get such a sparkly keppie? My mind raced. Well, I did take a nap today. Did ...

Children Will Listen

  It is no secret that I fancy Fairy Tales, Princesses and Musicals. Always have, always will. I did give my daughter a the name of a Disney Princess, after all. Well, I'm sure that it comes as no surprise that an all-time-favorite musical of mine is "Into the Woods", the Sondheim classic that chronicles what happens after "happily ...

best of both worlds

I am a superstitious person. No surprise there. And so, as part of tradition (and superstition, and many other keep-evil-eye-away-itions) we did not decorate the nursery until the baby's arrival. We did paint, and I did glue-gun, but besides that, the room remained empty, only to be filled by our daughter, and the incredible love that was born along with her. Now, this tradition had a ...

Once Upon a Time

"On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same." Because there had never been anyone like you... ever in the world. ... If the moon stays up until morning one day, or a ladybug lands and decides to stay, ...
