This post is so hard to write. I know that I have some experience in writing hard posts, but this is a different kind of hard. Because although I have endured pain in the past year, there is unique, exquisite ache that comes with nostalgia, which is really the heart of this post. Nostalgia is defined as ...
March Second. It was a very cold, Saturday morning. I was home alone with my daughter, as my husband was out at a boy brunch to celebrate our dear family friend's birthday. (As a side note, this group of guys, which includes my dad, husband, brousins, family friend and his sons, is called the E Street Supper ...
Originally Published on Little Four Eyes Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve grown to love my baby girl’s glasses. They help her, they are a tangible solution to a small problem, and they look so darn cute. I’ve learned to love them so much, that I have stopped thinking about them. I have accepted them. They have become a wonderful, valuable, ...
and the babe and I are busy picking out her heart day ensemble. Lola and Zig gave it their stamp of approval. So, you know, we're all good now. And, while we're on the subject, as I was just writing the date, I realized that today, February 13, 2011 is exactly the 10 year anniversary of a great milestone in my own life; the ...
Because Wednesday is a day during which I am not permitted to write my own words, I thought I would share some of the best things that I have read in recent days. You see, I feel thankful for the cornucopia of wonderful people in my life, and here are a few of the squares ...
To Me!! Is it wrong for me to say that?

On my 1/2 birthday last year, I came home to a fantastic smelling house, and this little masterpiece, sitting ...
It's the new year! Sound the shofar, 5771 is here! We were on a mini mommyeverafter hiatus, to honor the High Holiday of Rosh Hashana, or, the Jewish New Year. As I sat in services yesterday, with a magenta flower clad baby snuggled up to my chest, I couldn't help but to feel an overwhelming sense of loveadorationpridebeingsoblessed. Did you catch that? There are some ...
D-day had arrived. Or, should I say, D-night. D-night, as in due night. D night as in delivery night. D night as in “Do you think I can really do this? With no drugs?” D is for drug free, don’t you know. My water was broken, My contractions were steady, My IV was in, It was, Actually, Really, Truly, No doubt about it, Happening. Yet, still, there were ...
My daughter is named after my favorite Disney Princess. While that may not be the exact reason for the origin of her name, it is also not just a happy coincidence. And it certainly is fun picking out princess paraphernalia for her, which I hope she will treasure as she gets older. In fact, once upon a time ...
Once upon a Cambridge spring, The stars did a dance and the moon began to sing. “She’s here,” crooned the wind, the sky gathered around her. “The best mommy’s been born! She’s here! We have found her!” You see, everyone thinks that when babies arrive They’re the most sacred things born from the sky. But the stars and the moon knew ...
