“Paint the Rain”, a snapshot .

One category that I have not written much in as of late is Teacher Mama. That is because for this academic year my primary job is working in the home. I will resume teaching in June, and I am so excited to do so, but I do miss my kids and the special moments that they provide. Today, ...

Lindsay Docherty Photography

I've written and raved before about the magic and beauty and romance that is Lindsay Docherty Photography. Here is the final installment of my journey with Lindsay. Let me be clear in saying this: This is not a sponsored post. These photos are not c/o her business. I am writing about the phenomenal Lindsay Docherty because she ...

Aprils.

It seems that time is going by at warp speed. My baby had his half birthday. Things are flying. And so I decided to take a look back. On this date in April 2010 I had just become a mother six days prior. It was my third day home from the hospital. I was learning to nurse ...

With my two hands.

Today was an unusual day. I got a call from my husband when he went to drop our daughter at school and  he told me that school was closed for Passover. I raced to the car and met them, and picked up my daughter and he went off to work. He was a bit annoyed. Not at ...

Between Friends

 I have to admit something; I was never much of a coffee drinker... until motherhood. I was a total tea gal, and I kind of had some sort of weird pride in that title. "Oh no, I only drink tea." Gave me some hipster street cred (in my head). I always loved the smell, but I'd happily sip on ...

Thank you.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the love. Thank you. This week, I had the distinct honor and privilege of being featured on the local 6ABC News in a story about Postpartum Depression. This came about after posting "The Hardest Post I've Ever Written", about ...

Good news:

I've found myself a new Hannah. All I had to do was give birth to her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcNo07Xp8aQ

A very feathered surprise.

(originally published on 511) What's better than having a strength symbol in your home? MANY strength symbols. More feathers!! So while our kiddo bathroom is slowly transforming into a bird sanctuary (with the peacock rug and birdcage light fixture) I have decided to add some very feathered wall paper to a surprise spot in our home. It looks a bit like this... and where it goes... you'll just ...
