You guys. Seriously, you rock. You've made my birthday so wonderful and you've filled it with amazing treats, feathers, and, most of all, words.

“And I got scones…”
So, today happens to be my day of birth. And it's three o'clock in the morning. Why am I up? Why am I writing? Because my husband is really cute. I got up to use the bathroom and when I got back into bed, he said "Happy Birthday. Can I give you your presents?" I asked him if this was ...

A (partial) Day in the Life of a Mother With Two Young Children and Postpartum Depression

I want to see ...
Bedtime. A Haiku.
Four of us snug-gled in bed; kids trading giggles. What life is about.
Ahhh motherhood.
Another 5:30 wakeup from my girl. To be exact it was 5:35, when I heard her calling from her room, beckoning me to snuggle with her. I figured we'd go back to sleep together. But her eyes remained open, fixed on me, until 5:50, when she popped out of bed, looked out her window and shouted, "Mommy! It's light ...
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 ...
“MOMMY!”
my daughter exclaimed, after I picked her up from school, headed out to my favorite store. "I have a horrible story to tell you," she continued. "So many things are making me in a grumpy mood. My brother lied to me. He really DID spit up on my sock. And I went on the blog and they ...
