I asked for help.

Yesterday was a full day snow day for us; Since I was pretty confident that my daughter's preschool would be dismissing the kids early due to worsening weather conditions, I just kept her home with me. I always like having her home with me. I started the day not feeling well. I was worried that I ...

I am glad to be ranked #1 on the list.

Today, I cherished the mundane. Instead of pulling up in carline to pick up my daughter from school, I walked in to get her and the look on her face...I am actually truly getting tears in my eyes thinking of it. She beamed. And I know that that is an adjective used quite often, but it's actual ...

Happy Birthday, Dear Man o’ Mine

Happy 33rd Birthday, Dear K. It is now officially 12:00am on January 19 and I just whispered "Happy Birthday" to you, as I watch you sleep beside me. (I realize that I am currently breaking our electronics curfew, but I am hopeful to earn back my privileges with copious amounts of cake.) Also, I literally just spent 10 ...

Uptown Funk

I am the first person to admit the following two facts: 1. I am not at all in touch with today's current music scene. I know about Sia's "Chandelier" because of an SNL skit sent to me by a friend, I have heard of only about half of the mainstream artists and know very little of ...

Be My Baby

Last week, in my post about my emotional day, I wrote the following: "I had at least a handful of moments where I would catch eyes with my son and smile and he would beam back at me with his grin that is becoming more toothy by the day. I think there is a small part of ...

“Superstition ain’t the way.”

It started with a chair. Well, two chairs if I am being honest, but if you get the reference above then we are automatically better friends than we were before you opened this post. More on that, later. Two years ago, just after we closed on our new home, I went with my parents to the Rago ...

To see the stars.

"Look! Look! Look out my window! I can see a star!" My daughter was pressed up against her bedroom windowpane, her brother by her side, following her motions and mimicking her enthusiasm. I was folding laundry on her floor, my husband was out picking up Chinese Takeout and the kids were playing on the chairs by the ...

Things that made my heart burst yesterday:

The incredibly touching comments that I received on my emotional day post on Facebook. The launch of the new website for Pearl Communications, my PR firm. It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...

An emotional day.

Today was a pretty good day, despite the fact that my daughter was home sick with a bad cough and fever. I had fun with my kids and delighted in their (our) love for each other. I had at least a handful of moments where I would catch eyes with my son and smile and he ...
