Something interesting happened to me this week; my iPhone stopped working. It was on Thursday, New Year's Day, and one minute it was sending and receiving texts (despite being shattered and an eyesore) and the next minute the screen became completely dysfunctional. I could not use it at all, which meant that I could not swipe ...
Yesterday was a big day. My son woke up late, as a treat, and my daughter followed me into his room to change his morning diaper. "Today is the day!" she beamed. "I know! Today is the cookie party!" I answered, referring to our plans for the special Pollyanna party with our best friends. "No!" She cried. "Today, Bubbie ...
"Mom, look! Look at the sky!" It was not even seven o'clock this morning, but my daughter's excitement was palpable. She grabbed my phone, ran to the window and snapped this shot. I did not edit this picture at all; I did not filter it through a special lens on my phone nor did I touch it up in ...
Our holidays this year have been completely different than ever before. Up until last year, I experienced the winter holidays in nearly the same way every year for as long as I can remember: Hanukkah was a time of many big family gatherings (when you have a huge family that all lives locally, the pile of presents is ...
Even though I have the post halfway written in my head and a handful of pictures to go with it, so that I can illustrate our family's coziest Christmas Eve, just the four of us, but because I was so warm and cozy, you see, I fell asleep on the fluffy faux fur rug by the fire and my husband ...
Yesterday, my "work day" wrapped up with a chat with my business manager. By the way, you must remember, I am the girl who has only had one set of business cards in her entire life... and they were Betty Boop business cards I had personalized for me at FAO Schwartz that read, "Star of Stage and ...

For the past four and a half years I have spent every day hanging out at a simple, static, steadfast site over on Wordpress. Mommy, Ever After started when I was the new mother of a ...
Patience, my dear ones. For I am off to a happy place, where I will be celebrating my 8th Engagemaversary in that very same spot. ...is what I had written, yesterday, prepared to publish today, as I would now be off to St. John, via St. Thomas, with my entire family; Parents, siblings, kids... It's funny. Just last week, ...
I made it no secret on here (and in my life) that I was quite nervous about expanding our family. We were a perfect triangle. I remember taking an autumn trip to the beach house with the fairy godparents and sitting on the couch for hours, literally, listing the reasons why I was scared to have another ...
This morning was a morning like most others. We watched an episode of My Little Pony, found the "Tuesday" underwear from my daughter's drawer, hurried her off to school, as my son and I stayed in our pajamas. My son and I snuggled up in bed for a good two hours and napped together, as I fell ...
