With my two hands.

Today was an unusual day. I got a call from my husband when he went to drop our daughter at school and he told me that school was closed for Passover. I raced to the car and met them, and picked up my daughter and he went off to work. He was a bit annoyed. Not at ...

“And I got scones…”

So, today happens to be my day of birth. And it's three o'clock in the morning. Why am I up? Why am I writing? Because my husband is really cute. I got up to use the bathroom and when I got back into bed, he said "Happy Birthday. Can I give you your presents?" I asked him if this was ...

Beauty and Romance (A sneak peak at Lindsay Docherty Photography)

So, I am going to be, in the very near future, writing an extensive post on the ray of sparkling sunshine that is Lindsay Docherty of Lindsay Docherty Photography. I will share with you, then, how she jumped on the bed with us, and joined us in an impromptu dance party and even cleaned up ...

The hardest post I’ve ever written.

Since having my second child my world has changed in more ways than I could have imagined. As our triangle turned into a square (quite seamlessly in many ways, I should say), I have experienced love and joy that I had not yet known. And one positive thing that I have done has been starting 511, ...

The hardest post I’ve ever written, Part 3.

Life works in amazing ways. This is hardest part of the hardest post. And though I've been so overwhelmingly grateful for the outpouring of support, both publicly and privately, that I have received thus far, it is still hard to put all of these things into plain words.

Some folks.

This is the story of some folks. You see, during times of great change or excitement, some folks handle their feelings (of being anxious, overwhelmed, excited, ill-prepared) by doing things like making lists, crafting spreadsheets, seeking therapy or running Marathons. Some folks, when faced with an upcoming vacation and big move that just so happen to be happening back ...

Easy like.

When you go on a wri-atus like I had (have?) it isn't so easy to know where to pick up. We have much catching up to do. But, I figured that Sunday morning snuggles on the floor, in matching pink pjs, set to the tune of Joni Mitchell was not a hard place to start.

Time may change me…

So, rock 'n' rollers, do you hear it? ...the sound of us making some ch-ch-changes, yet again. And while I'm so happy about all of the new and exciting opportunities being afforded to us, they also make me nervous.
