Charming.

I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...

A Musical Morning.

This morning, after a full week of feeling sick and sleeping in, I got up with the kids. Except, I wasn't quite ready to get up, nor was I feeling my best, so I decided that while we were "up" we could snuggle on the couch watching music videos for a good hour before starting our ...

To shake or not to shake.

My apologies for having been so quiet this weekend; Since Friday I have been walloped by a massive case of vertigo. I have had dizziness before, but holy moly, this is something else. I woke up on Friday morning and everything was spinning (or I was spinning, or both) and it has been relentless. In any case, this ...

AWESOME.

Do you know the expression "pour your heart out"? Well, that is what I wish I could do, but not just in the idom-way that implies the sharing of your deepest secrets and fears; I also am someone who tries not to say the word "literally" when I don't actually mean something literally (eg. I don't ...

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 ...
