of having children whose names begin with the same first initial? The ability to have a sweet single-initial quadruple pierce.
A Birth Story-My Sequel: Part 2
Perhaps I should back up a bit. As I mentioned, the doctor told me that because of the nature of my contractions, the difference I was feeling (despite having already been through FOUR false alarms), I should come in to Labor and Delivery to be checked out. You should know this about me: I am a positive person, I am ...
A Birth Story–My Sequel: Part 1
Hello, there. Or, to many, I should say Hello, Again. Welcome. Or Welcome Back. Right now, you can find me mostly over at 511 Ever After, but I've decided to return for a post that could only be written here; here where my mommy roots are anchored in deep, in stories of joy, enchantment, confusion, pain....my stories from ...

Love Notes/My Reply
You may remember my recent discovery, in which I was able to give new life to (/soak in the beauty of) my husband's old love notes. Well, it happened again. Except, this time, the love notes were from yours truly. I know. Right? You didn't think I had it in me. Ahhhh, way back in old '06 when ...

(And a Madeleine, just ...
I should mention…
Earlier today, I picked up my iPhone to find this: It seems that someone had been doing a little dialing. And, I should mention that the above Googling occurred right after I intercepted her from doing this: And, perhaps I should mention that as she was sorting through this case of beer, she was blabbing away, saying "Mmmmm, ...
On Peace.
This afternoon, on a walk down our street, my daughter held her two fingers in the air (as she has been known to do) and said, "Peace, man." To whom, I don't know. I like to think it was to every man. But that's just me. And her gesture got me thinking about words and concepts like peace and equality and how I ...
