Today, as I unloaded from school pick up, doing my normal routine of getting my daughter out of the passenger side of the car, slinging her backpack over my shoulder, walking her around the car to my side where I get her brother out in his incredibly heavy infant carrier, when my daughter said, "Wait. 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 ...
Here comes the comeback kid…
(photo above updated October, 2016; taken live from show October 24th at Union Transfer) Today, in the words of my most favorite, Brett Dennen, I felt as if "I'd never been laid so low". That may be a bit hyperbolic, but I was definitely feeling low; I got an unexpected putdown that kind of knocked the wind ...
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 ...

I guess I named her well.
Last night my daughter decided to dress as the Disney Princess for whom she was named... wearing an old Halloween costume... from when she was six months old. Now, my daughter is amazing; she is an old soul, so precocious and astute; But man, is she stubborn. And insists on method acting. So if she is playing Peter Pan, I ...
I think I’ve made great strides
in the sandwich department; I know I need not tell you, as it is abundantly clear that this is a ghost cream cheese sandwich with Nutella eyes. And I also know that I am an amazing artist.
That’s my girl…
After school, I asked my daughter if she wanted to change into something more comfortable. This is what she chose: The dress I wore to my cousin's Bar-Mitzvah 25 years ago. Oh well. Atta girl, I say.
Go team.
Something amazing just happened. It was one of those slightly hectic moments in my daily routine, during which time I take both kids out of the car, unpack my daughter's backpack, unpack her lunch bag, clean out her lunch bag, put away any groceries or things I've picked up... and as I was doing all of that, ...
