Last night, my sister texted me, seeking some boy advice. So, I advised her, to the best of my old-married-lady ability. Her reponse? and I quote, "Thanks for the big sister moment. It's good to know you can fake being a cool sister still and not just a MILF."
The Story of Us–Chapter 1

june 2009 I am covered in sunscreen, lying on the sand on Ka’anapali Beach in Maui. june 2010 I am covered in spit-up, lying on the floor of my daughter’s bedroom for “Tummy Time” Isn’t there some expression about a year making a whole hell of a difference?
