The Beach Edition: And we'll never ever ever ever ever leave each other.
Good Vibrations
In recent weeks, I have had the privilege of watching as my daughter's obsession with music has soared to new heights. She sings along to the radio. She writes her own songs ("Sunglasses. I want sunglassES on right NOW. Doggie wears sunglassES TOO. Mommy, sunglassES! Wear sunglassES to Zeydie's offICE!") She plays notes on the piano in time and turns ...
Oh happy day.
Thank you, my sweet friends, (online, offline, and everywhere in between...) for making me feel this special. (Which, by the way, is SO special!) Today has been a lovely a day and it's only 1pm. So thank you, thank you, thank you. (And, by all means, keep it comin'!) Love and Macaroons, The Bday Gal.
Just some things.
This past week has kept me oh-so-busy. Like, Bizzy. And it's been good. But, it has not left me with the time or energy to put my pen to paper to keyboard, or what have you. So, as a way to fill you in (or an attempt to make an excuse), here are some things. Some things I've done since we spoke ...
Music.
Music is playing inside my head Over and over and over again My friend, there's no end to the music Ah, summer is over But the music keeps playing And won't let the cold get me down -Carole King, Music *** This morning, as I spent time flitting about and trying to tidy, I left my daughter to have some quiet play time in ...
A Mother.
In a little over a month, my newborn baby will, quite miraculously, be having her second birthday. I know. it makes no sense. It actually confuses me. It hit me yesterday, at school, when a colleague and friend of mine was kissing and cooing over my daughter. And my daughter was answering her, calling her by her ...
The greatest things.
Today, I experienced two of the greatest things. First, I saw this: (image via) and it was like all of the stars aligned into the world's most extraordinary moment. Nothing so perfect could actually exist, surely. My mom and I watched the Les Miz Flash Mob from last night's episode of "It's a Brad Brad World" with our ...
“with glasses.”
originally published on Little Four Eyes Something happened, recently; In fact, many somethings: My baby daughter became a kid; She started to go to school; She got recognized for her glasses. Back in the early days, when her diagnoses and spectacles were so new, my greatest fear was that she’d be judged. I worried that she would be ridiculed and prayed that she ...
To you…
This weekend, we had the distinct honor and unbelievable pleasure of watching our two best friends as they became man and wife. And I can't even write about it now without crying. So, for now, I will just say, here's to you, babes. To you, to life, to crazy love and to your many to-morrows together. We could not love you more.
To my special friend,
Sharla; Thank you for teaching me to appreciate all of the small moments of FUN in our world; Thank you for your constant support; And, most of all, thank you for bringing Abby Cadabby into our lives. It is breakfast now in our house, and as I handed my daughter her bowl of Greek yogurt, she grabbed it, excitedly, and ...
