I say that with no sarcasm, nor do I say it boastfully. I was a good mom today because I made myself proud. I have talked a lot about guilt, and my constant feeling (fear) that I am not _____ enough. In reality my life kind of went like this: I had one baby. Everyone was happy. I made innovative, ...
Today we celebrated our Anniversary 7. It's funny; I was going to say that it was the best Anniversary that I can remember, but then I read this post from three years ago and I realize that it is impossible to even try to compare. We are absolutely and completely different people than we were when ...
Earlier this year I wrote about my band, Fox and the Hounds, and "My Year in Music." The truth is, if I had to site the three things that defined my past 19 months most, things that, in many ways, saved me from getting lost in a dark abyss, they would be: 1. My incredible network of loved ...
Over the weekend I got into a really interesting discussion, both online and IRL, about the content of my site. It is no secret that I speak very honestly about all aspects of my life, and that means that I reference aspects of my "Hopeful Story" which, as much as I don't like to dwell on ...

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 ...
My apologies for having been so quiet this weekend; Since Friday I have been walloped by a massive case of vertigo. I have had dizziness before, but holy moly, this is something else. I woke up on Friday morning and everything was spinning (or I was spinning, or both) and it has been relentless. In any case, this ...
Yesterday, we said happy birthday to our main man. And this is how we did it. ]
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 ...
