(Editor's Note: This post was originally composed on Monday, December 19. Writing had to be postponed* which accounts for any confusion as I refer to "today" as "Monday" when it is, now, Tuesday. Many thanks!) Today, I had a massive case of déjà vu, and not necessarily for the best reasons. I am really fascinated by the concept of ...
Hello! Hi! I've missed you! As you can see from the photos above, I have been busy. SOOO BIZZY. You know, with things like re-doing my bathroom, getting makeovers at my daughter's new salon, taking & printing photos at the dinner table with my girlfriends and dancing at Kellerman's. DIRTY dancing. In all seriousness, the collage above shows ...

Dear Five-Year-Old-Daughter, I could write and write and write about how incredible it is--how incredulous I am--that you are about to enter Kindergarten; how I don't understand when you grew to be this size. It is mind-blowing. But, instead, I am going to tell you about the snapshot from one morning. This morning, in fact, when you ...
I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...
...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 ...
Tonight, my daughter and I did our normal bedtime routine. I told her two stories (one about today's camp show, and one about a big dolls from Frozen); We sang through our repertoire of songs, but this time she insisted upon trading off with each word, sometimes each syllable, making "Yan"-"Kee"-"Doo"-Dle" and the rest of our lineup feel extremely long.

june 2009 I am covered in sunscreen, lying on the sand on Ka’anapali Beach in Maui. june 2010 I am covered in spit-up, lying on the floor of my daughter’s bedroom for “Tummy Time” Isn’t there some expression about a year making a whole hell of a difference?
