I've written before on acts of loving kindness . I believe that we should all try to be nice and do good when possible. Today, while on our breather , I found someone who shares in my sentiment in a most beautiful way. A woman who lives in Newtown, CT, the sight of the horrific Sandy Hook ...
A breath of fresh air.
Taking a little (and I think much needed) breather. See you very soon!
From the mouth of my babe.
Just now, as I walked up the stairs, worn down beyond belief, and collapsed onto my bed with a huge sigh, my daughter followed me, climbed up next to me, and said, "Sometimes you just have a bad day. Sometimes things are hard. But they get easier." And then, I thought, "She is more mature than most of ...
The Magnificent Seven, The Son Edition.
Looking back, I found the note I wrote to my daughter when she turned seven months, a love letter detailing milestones in her life and expressing my profound love. Today is my son's seventh month birthday, and so, for him I shall do the same. Dearest baby, My sweetness; My light. Today you are seven months old. A magnificent ...

My peeps.
Just yesterday I talked about my amazing acts of loving kindness. But I have to tell you, since I first shared my story about Postpartum Depression, I have been overwhelmed by thoughtful cards, notes, messages, gifts, offers and more. I wish I could share each of them on here, as they all deserve to be recognized. Truly. ...
Acts of loving kindness.
When I was teaching older kids, I used to reward my students for acts of loving kindness; little things that I would observe that would recognize these children for their good deeds and generosity towards others. Today, I would love to make an Acts of Loving Kindness Chart of my own. In one day, I experienced four ...
