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 ...
“And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl.”
Last week, I sold my car; the car that I said I would have and drive forever. Earlier this year I had even decided that it would be the car in which my daughter would learn to drive. I loved my car. I loved that it was recognizable and a little famous around town, because of the pink ...
The story of two girls, the story of two women, and everything in between.
Where to begin? I sit here, hands tracing the keys of my laptop, but I don't know how to start our story; to really tell our story in a way that will do it justice. It probably won't make sense to anyone else. But it does to us, so I guess that is all that ...
Letting it go.
This was sent to me yesterday by a dear friend. I needed it. I then sent it to another dear friend. She needed it. Every day, we all carry things with us; hopes, fears, ideas, identities... Some of these things lift us up. Some of my labels I wear proudly: Wife, mother, friend, daughter, grand-daughter, teacher, twin, writer, confidant, ...
“In Our Time” and on my night table.
“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” -T.S. Eliot, one of my favorites. Last night before bed I scanned my night table for my glasses, and took a minute to note what I keep there, next to me, ...
“Everything is Not Okay”
This summer, I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in a story for Main Line Parent Magazine. I was approached after publishing my originally story on my postpartum depression. They took my story, and the stories of two other women, to print a feature in the goal of helping others, which is all ...
Just when you think you’ve made the craziest call to the pediatrician ever…
So, back in July, I made what I thought was the craziest call to the Pediatrician's office ever. (We thought my son had some kind of spreading rash when it was just a stain from the previous night's cherry water ice.) Well, I just may have topped it. Let me just set the scene: Temporarily, because of some work ...
What makes it all worth it.
So, this is a tough week. I knew it would be, and it did not disappoint. I was haunted by ghosts, plagued by nightmares, and sometimes, I felt like I was drowning. It is hard for me to admit that in actual words, by the way--to confess that I feel weak and helpless and most ...
Behind the curtain.
When I got into blogging almost 5 years ago I was new to both the word and the world. I just wanted to write honestly about parenthood, and to keep a baby book in the way that I knew how. Throughout the years, I have followed different blogs on and off, my interest waning as content either ...
