I remember when I wrote this post -- about the autumn leaves crunching under my feet and the smell of firewood in the air. I remember it so vividly, yet it was over six years ago, when my daughter was not even six months old. She was just starting to speak, as she was an incredibly early (and eager) ...
...your little girl sits on the floor of her brother's bedroom and reads, with finesse and ease, the very first book that was ever read to her. I thought that this was poignant but, my goodness. I feel wistful, and I feel proud but, most of all, I feel the magic.
Some stories are long. They make for long posts. Some stories feel long. And they are so exhausting that they make for short posts. This one is the latter. *** I have written so much about Valentine's Day over the years; I have written about love and gratitude; I have told stories of our past; Last year's post was particularly fun (and reminds me ...
After 12 wonderful days of holiday break, my daughter finally got to go back to school on Monday. She was so excited; she had missed her friends and teachers a lot. We are two days in to the new year and, wouldn't you know it, she is home sick again. She woke up late last night, crying for ...
...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.

Looking back, I found the note I wrote to my daughter when she turned seven months, a love letter detailing milestones in her life and expressing my profound love. Today is my son's seventh month birthday, and so, for him I shall do the same. Dearest baby, My sweetness; My light. Today you are seven months old. A magnificent ...
As I said yesterday, over on 511, I am quite different than my marathon runner sister. I do not work out, I have never belonged to a gym and I ran almost 3 miles with Twin ONCE on the Boardwalk and that is the only thing I have ever done. I was good at sit and ...
My apologies. I know that things have been quiet around these parts. While I may have been absent outwardly, rest assured that I've been a good blogging squirrel, gathering seeds and hoarding stories and collecting photos of my baby, bee-lining towards sparkly shoes, to share with you. But, the truth is, it's been a hard week. And it's a long story. But ...
Here I am. I'm back from a wri-atus of sorts. You see, it was nearly a month ago now that I made the decision to close the door to this chapter. Not because I didn't love writing my "ever after". I did. I loved chronicling my days with my little one; I loved the intimate relationship I was able to develop ...
