Wordless Wednesday: The “Wednesday Night Dance Party Playlist” Edition

And, my friends, it has finally happened; I was able to break out the worm again. All is now right with the world.

Peeps & Company.

On this site I have become known for some specific things: I speak openly and honestly about mental health, I say the hard truths that others may be afraid to articulate, I genuinely strive to make peoples' lives better, I never turn down a dance party, and I love Peeps. I have written about my love of the sugary marshmallow candy ...

Dear Diary, Saint Motel and rage no more.

I mentioned on Monday that this has been a really unusual time for my little family, filled with hills and valleys (I likened it to a mountain, before, but I will make it simple, tonight). I wrote about how on Sunday we did things like Build Bears, eat popovers and lose our son in the mall ...

A Musical Morning.

This morning, after a full week of feeling sick and sleeping in, I got up with the kids. Except, I wasn't quite ready to get up, nor was I feeling my best, so I decided that while we were "up" we could snuggle on the couch watching music videos for a good hour before starting our ...

You are not alone.

Below, before the three asterisks, is what I wrote early this morning. I took some time off from writing this more emotional post and so, instead, I posted the story of a dance party. Then, my parents took my daughter to see her new favorite movie, I picked up the cake for my husband's birthday tomorrow ...

Uptown Funk

I am the first person to admit the following two facts: 1. I am not at all in touch with today's current music scene. I know about Sia's "Chandelier" because of an SNL skit sent to me by a friend, I have heard of only about half of the mainstream artists and know very little of ...

“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 ...

“I wanted love. I needed love. Most of all.” Well, that and warmth.

This morning was bitter cold once again. I had to drive my daughter to school, which meant I had to bring the baby along, which meant a lot of bundling. For me, it was a cashmere sweater, topped with a huge cardigan under my parka. For the baby it was a long sleeve shirt, courds, a sweater, ...

It’s a little bit sweet.

Two kids home on a Monday morning. #sickday Two different viruses, one additional overlapping one. It's awesome. Two stops to two fast food restaurants at 10am for throat soothing ice cream. McDonalds ice cream machine was broken. A Frosty remedied the situation. A lot of this. Leading to a little jealousy, So a little of this ...

Everybody’s on the food chain, funny, but from day to day we get from bottom to top. And if you get lost, just start over again…

Music is such a big part of my being. Last night, my new band had it's first big gig. Two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, and a microphone for me to sing into. It was exhilarating. I got to dance in wedge heels and belt out tunes from John Pryne and Led Zeppelin and Sublime and be awed, ...
