My sister, my self.

About Mommy

Hey there! Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by. You may been here before. Thanks so much for sticking around. But, perhaps you're new here. Perhaps you've wandered these parts before, but you're not sure. Perhaps you need something to jog your memory. Perhaps you're not a newbie, per se, but haven't been here since the beginning. I'm ...

When it rains…

The past few weeks have been trying. I have felt overwhelmed. And sometimes lonely. And sometimes scared. It has been hard. For reasons that I have written about on here and for other reasons that I have not. And I have not chosen to share certain things because I like to use this space to express my gratitude, and to talk about ...

Dear Baby,

Why did you take so gosh darn long to fall asleep tonight? Was it the 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap, snuggled up under the cool white sheets with Mommy as the fan whirred above our heads? Was it the extra few bites of Mama's key lime cupcake? Is a sugar high to blame? Were the songs from our ...

Hooray!

For pretty Summer days, For pretty gold toe-nail polish, For pretty rad outdoor dance parties to tunes from Rent, For pretty much everything about my pretty little dance partner.

While you were out

Shout out loud! Bang on some pots and pans! It's been far too quiet around here. This week was challenging for me, as it was my first week back to work in the New Year, as well as my first week of working every day since I was placed on bedrest a whole, long March ago. So, this week, I succumbed ...

Happy Birthday, Dear Man o’ Mine

Happy 33rd Birthday, Dear K. It is now officially 12:00am on January 19 and I just whispered "Happy Birthday" to you, as I watch you sleep beside me. (I realize that I am currently breaking our electronics curfew, but I am hopeful to earn back my privileges with copious amounts of cake.) Also, I literally just spent 10 ...

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning…

...the end is where we start from." T.S. Eliot Welcome to www.MommyEverAfter.com. It is so nice to have you. Here, let me make you comfortable. For the past four and a half years I have spent every day hanging out at a simple, static, steadfast site over on Wordpress. Mommy, Ever After started when I was the new mother of a ...

“Tears Dry On Their Own”

As I mentioned over on 511, today I took a little trip to Anthropologie. There I found some very cool things for the body and home but I also found something for my soul; As I walked through the store, pushing the stroller, I heard a song come on, one I'd never heard before, and it made ...
