Two kids home on a Monday morning. #sickday Two different viruses, one additional overlapping one. It's awesome. Two stops to two fast food restaurants at 10am for throat soothing ice cream. McDonalds ice cream machine was broken. A Frosty remedied the situation. A lot of this. Leading to a little jealousy, So a little of this ...
#secondchild
When my daughter was a baby, I used to buy these little plastic table covers. If we were ever to eat out at a restaurant, I would first sanitize the high chair and then I would lay out two or three of these sticky plastic placemats on the table, so that her reaching radius was ...
Measure in Love.
Musical Theatre has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started acting out the Wizard of Oz word for word from age 2; I was acting in school plays by age 6; I went to drama camp as a pre-teen and then became a drama counselor, then improv teacher than show ...
#cleanlaundry
This is what happens when you have a massive flood , lose your washer/dryer for two months and then finally get a replacement. We have already planned a folding party for tonight. Oh joy. And we all know I'm totally awesome at doing laundry .
The greatest call to the pediatrician ever. In history. I promise.
It was not so long ago that I wrote all about my experience and evolution as a mother, and how I have learned so much in just four and a half years. I wrote, with confidence, about my expertise, and how I no longer have crazy frantic calls to the pediatrician or rushed emergency visits because ...
Everybody’s on the food chain, funny, but from day to day we get from bottom to top. And if you get lost, just start over again…
Music is such a big part of my being. Last night, my new band had it's first big gig. Two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, and a microphone for me to sing into. It was exhilarating. I got to dance in wedge heels and belt out tunes from John Pryne and Led Zeppelin and Sublime and be awed, ...
I carry your heart with me
I have now fallen into the role of doing bedtime for my daughter every night. Sometimes I am in a rush, to cook, or to make it on time for a dinner reservation or the start of a tv show, but other times I savor the time, letting the minutes roll by as we linger in the dark, ...
High/Low High.
So, this morning was pretty kick ass. When my husband was in first grade, he wrote a short story about getting locked in Disney World when the park was empty and all of the rides were at his disposal... and that was kind of what it was like today, except I was locked in H&M for our ...
Full Skirt/Full Circle
This is the true story of two strangers talking over the door of a little dressing room in a big department store on the road to finding out what happens when friends become family. *** 13 years ago, I was obsessed with MTV's The Real World, the voyeuristic sensation that allowed viewers to fall in love (or in hate) with real ...
When I peed on that stick–all I didn’t know, 2.0
When my daughter was just shy of 18 months old I wrote about all of the things that I didn't know when I had first decided to become a mother. How that list has grown. Since that time I have learned about RSV and nebulizers, I have learned about cheerios vs. puffs, Disney Junior as opposed to Nick Junior... the ...
