Something interesting happened to me this week; my iPhone stopped working. It was on Thursday, New Year's Day, and one minute it was sending and receiving texts (despite being shattered and an eyesore) and the next minute the screen became completely dysfunctional. I could not use it at all, which meant that I could not swipe ...
Where to begin? I sit here, hands tracing the keys of my laptop, but I don't know how to start our story; to really tell our story in a way that will do it justice. It probably won't make sense to anyone else. But it does to us, so I guess that is all that ...
This morning, one of my cherished new friends sent this video to me, to help chase some of my sick babies blues away. [youtube=http://youtu.be/XqLTe8h0-jo] She didn't know that The Beach Boys concert with my family was my favorite concert ever. EVER. She didn't know that "God only knows what I'd be without you." is the phrase that I ...
This was sent to me yesterday by a dear friend. I needed it. I then sent it to another dear friend. She needed it. Every day, we all carry things with us; hopes, fears, ideas, identities... Some of these things lift us up. Some of my labels I wear proudly: Wife, mother, friend, daughter, grand-daughter, teacher, twin, writer, confidant, ...
I came across this video today and I thought to myself, "I have to share this with her, and her, and her and her and her" and I wanted to send it to my bestest besties and then I figured they deserved a public shout-out, so this is for you, my loves. You know who ...
I have written before, many, many times, on both this site and over on the other, about my obsession with color. I am obsessed with the color of my hair. I am obsessed with the color of my rooms (and yours). And I am Ob. Sessed. With nail color. And it's weird. Because it has nothing to ...
This weekend was pretty awesome. And it's been a while since we could say that so let me pause a second so I can knock on wood. OK, back. Anyway, instead of going to the shore or taking a day trip, we stuck around, walked down the empty streets, soaked up the sun and enjoyed our fantastic ...
This afternoon, while the baby napped, I had a moment to catch up on a favorite blog of mine, Emphasis Added, a story that I have been following for years now. She is in the midst of a personal horror; while on vacation, there was a terrible flood in her house and almost everything in her ...
4:40 am wake up because I think I hear a noise outside. I go down to investigate. Twice. The mystery remains unsolved. 6:15 wake up to the sound of my daughter's voice. She had previously been instructed to play in her room upon waking until we come to get her (since the past few days have been ...
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, ...
