otherwise known as "How Becca Got Her Groove Back". (Note: this post addresses some very personal struggles, including the weight loss that I experienced from my PPD. I am fiercely protective of you, my readers, and therefore do not want to be a trigger; if discussions of things like size (no numbers) and body image will ...
At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...
Back in the Winter of 2014 I shared a very intimate story about an incredibly unique and treasured friendship. It was a friendship built on a foundation of unspoken understanding, hand-holding and a lot of Hemingway. I met my friend, B, during our Junior year of college (and if you have yet to read about it, my ...
Earlier this year I wrote about my band, Fox and the Hounds, and "My Year in Music." The truth is, if I had to site the three things that defined my past 19 months most, things that, in many ways, saved me from getting lost in a dark abyss, they would be: 1. My incredible network of loved ...
I have written before about my time college; how my experience was certainly not traditional, but how it was oh so very meaningful. Am I happy that I chose to go to Barcelona at the age of 19? Of course. Had I not taken the untraditional college path, I would not have met my twin. ...

I have written countless times about how #FriendshipIsThickerThanBlood and about the power of ...
This week, there was a really lively and interesting debate under one of my Facebooks posts that was about getting rid of toxic friendships. I think that this post resonated with so many of us, which is why I felt so compelled to share it on my page. And it is funny. I decided, just ...
I may have mentioned on here that I am turning 30 in 3 days. If you have been reading Mommy, Ever After for awhile, you will know that we are very big on birthdays around here on these parts. I wrote about brainstorming a theme for my daughter's first birthday when she was 6 months old. Last year, ...
My oldest, dearest friend turns 30 today. She is a wonderful human being, a most devoted friend, a woman with fantastic morals and virtues and the Godmother to my son. When she and I were little, we had a band. You may have heard of it, it got really big in Germany: RJ BEFO She and I ...
