We were huddled together, sharing a tiny bed in the ER hallway, as the hospital was so crowded that there were no spare rooms. I was wearing a gown and motorcycle boots and he made a headrest for himself with his coat, so that he could lean against the nurse's station. We couldn't see most ...

If you are anything like I am, then we have (probably hundreds, but at least) two things in common: First, you care about your skin. You dread the appearance of wrinkles or dullness and want to look healthy and your best AND Second, you've seen thousands of posts on your Facebook page and Instagram feed from women ...
Image via Michelle Sweeney, Little Nest Portraits The goal of all of my writing is to say the things that other people have a hard time admitting to or articulating; to be candid and raw and to say, "You are not alone." I want to make people's lives better, be it by reading a funny ...
when you can have eight? So, yeah, this morning we found out that our baby boy, 10 days shy of his first birthday, will need glasses, just like his big sister. Evidently, though, he is an overachiever, because whereas she didn't need them until she was 13 months old, he is getting them before 12. Atta boy! And though he ...

He was planning a Boys Night, with an extensive and oh-so-manly menu. But, alas, one of the men fell ill and so ...
When my husband and I began to date, we shared an instant connection. It was different, it was special, it was every cliche in the book and more. 3 weeks after our first date, after a fun night out with his friends, we walked down the street, the Art Museum to our right, holding hands and talking about, well, us. I wish I could remember exactly how the ...

And suddenly, she no longer fit in the blankets that once swaddled her tight; She no longer fit in the undershirts that ...
So, as I was browsing the internet yesterday, (read: baby fell asleep while nursing. I had nothing to do but read blogs from my Blackberry) I came across this delicious little interview from the Blogger extraordinaire, The Pioneer Woman, during which she interviewed her rugged cowboy of a husband about all things "hiney-tingling", to use her slang. In ...
Maybe it's a new mom thing; Maybe it's because I'm trying to hold onto every moment, to take in every everything about every minute, as time seems to be racing by; Maybe it's just me, but, just this week, I've been overcome and overwhelmed by memories. They keeps sneaking up on me. Like when I was searching around in the lazy susan in the ...
