Today we celebrated our Anniversary 7. It's funny; I was going to say that it was the best Anniversary that I can remember, but then I read this post from three years ago and I realize that it is impossible to even try to compare. We are absolutely and completely different people than we were when ...
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 ...
Over the weekend I got into a really interesting discussion, both online and IRL, about the content of my site. It is no secret that I speak very honestly about all aspects of my life, and that means that I reference aspects of my "Hopeful Story" which, as much as I don't like to dwell on ...
A Mommy, Ever After Production: Our Tribute to Brett Dennen's "Wild Child" from his Album Smoke and Mirrors from the girl who is Brett Dennen's number 1 fan and the little boy who just so happens to be his doppelgänger. We hope that you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehslyTCmJV0
It is because of this group that I am now hiding under my comforter, 30 minutes before my alarm is set to go off (that is if my human alarm does not wake first), with the courage to write about today. My experience in September changed my life--my entire being--in many ways, both tangible and intangible, ...
Today I have spent nearly 100% of my day taking care of my children. This has included, but is not limited to: Getting two children dressed and out the door, alone, by 8:30am, dressed in proper clothing and winter attire; Removing a small boy from the dishwasher; Kissing 2 boo-boos; Waking up a sleeping baby who shook his head no ...
During your Grand Tour of the new Mommy, Ever After, I mentioned that there were some things in construction; a bedroom needed a light fixture, the tile work wasn't complete on the backsplash... but we have got some more work accomplished on this remodeling project and I want to make sure you know just where to ...
Well, it may not be our thwarted big family trip to St. John, but I'm cozy, under a blanket, listening to my main man's music, working on THE NEW WEBSITE and OMG do I have a story for you as my big premiere. I literally could not make this stuff up. Stay warm and stay tuned.
Tonight, my daughter and I did our normal bedtime routine. I told her two stories (one about today's camp show, and one about a big dolls from Frozen); We sang through our repertoire of songs, but this time she insisted upon trading off with each word, sometimes each syllable, making "Yan"-"Kee"-"Doo"-Dle" and the rest of our lineup feel extremely long. (By ...
Today was another full day of soaking rain. After I picked up my daughter at 1 we kept busy drawing in the sunroom, building with Magnetic tiles from loving "aunts" and making a run to the drive-through for some donuts; Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. But as four o'clock set in, and the rain continued to pelt mercilessly on our roof ...
