I can still remember the day. It was Thanksgiving, 2010, and my daughter was seven-months-old. We had given her a bagel to gnaw on for the very first time and she played happily on the floor of our small, quaint living room in our little, first house. And then, snowflakes started to dance from the sky and ...
(featured image above is from last Thursday, when I also felt like a bad mom.) Today, I cried. I cried a lot. I cried to people including, but not limited to, my mom, two car salesmen at the car dealership and my dietician. I was feeling so guilty. I felt like such a bad mom. And then, this evening, I ...
Over the past few days, I have been seeing this little status update circulating around my Facebook news feed. As I wrote on FB, I rarely do the re-post, but once I started asking, the answers were just so stinkin' cute, so I had to record. So, here goes: Without ANY prompting, ask your kid (s) these questions. ...
You guys. You guys! You rock! Thank you, my sweet friends, old and new (and those old friends whom I just happened to have met recently). After this epic, unexpected surge of awesomeness from last week, I have received the most incredible emails. Stories. Hearts, open, poured out onto the page (or screen, as it were). And so, ...

Usually, one of us gets up and takes both kids downstairs, but this morning, for a change, we both woke up and brought the baby into bed and she followed. "Daddy, I had a dream and ...

Something interesting happened to me this week; my iPhone stopped working. It was on Thursday, New Year's Day, and one minute it was sending and receiving texts (despite being shattered and an eyesore) and the next minute the screen became completely dysfunctional. I could not use it at all, which meant that I could not swipe ...
I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the love. Thank you. This week, I had the distinct honor and privilege of being featured on the local 6ABC News in a story about Postpartum Depression. This came about after posting "The Hardest Post I've Ever Written", about ...
Yesterday's #febphotoaday was my favorite yet, and thank you to everyone who got in on the fun. It has been voyeurism at it's finest and I've so enjoyed seeing what is inside your bathroom cabinet. And I'm totally judging you. Truly, though, it has been a blast, and if you haven't checked out some of the Facebook posts, ...
