The punks. I kid. The babies made me "cry happy" as my daughter would say. First, I cried because we got a new member to my tribe; my family . My girl had her sweet baby, a beautiful daughter, a niece to me, whom I love already. And when my friend told me how she couldn't possibly love her ...
It’s pretty sweet.
Now that we have downsized from a King bed to a Queen, my husband and I are so much closer. Literally and also in spirit. And this morning, I woke up early, looked over, and thought, "I get to sleep cuddled up next to the boy I have a crush on." And it brought me back to the ...
There’s something really important that you need to know.
As I said yesterday, over on 511, I am quite different than my marathon runner sister. I do not work out, I have never belonged to a gym and I ran almost 3 miles with Twin ONCE on the Boardwalk and that is the only thing I have ever done. I was good at sit and ...

My happy place.
Today, I needed to remember to put my mask on first so I took my son to my happy place. There I've spent much time walking, staring at layer upon layer of lush trees, listening to music... And feeling peace. Today I needed peace. And I got it.
One of the greatest joys of being a mother
is growing and showing and teaching love. Captured from the baby monitor, my daughter heard my son's early morning coos, saw that we were still asleep and went in to cuddle him. Happy Mother's Day, indeed. (p.s. Yes, she's in a tutu)
Threadbare
Tonight, as I toweled myself off after my shower, this old post popped into my head. As I looked in the mirror I saw tired eyes, hair that has not been washed since Monday morning (which is a new record, even for me. And no, Twin, it doesn't even look dirty) and I thought to myself, threadbare. The real ...
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. ...
“You’ve got me and I’ve got you,”
said my daughter, and she cuddled up to her brother under our covers this morning. #team
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 ...
