Tonight, my man and I went on a date. A real, honest to goodness date. We traded our ripped jeans and converse sneaks, time constraints and rushed conversations for a dim, cozy seat in a corner booth. And heels. High heels. We went to this place. We sat upstairs at the bar, and together we read every item on the ...
I could not have found this at a more perfect time,

Muchas Gracias
Just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the words of support this week, as I cared for our sick baby. RSV is most certainly a Really Sucky Virus. But, we have such a good team. We are so blessed. Thank you. Thank you for the calls, for the emails, sending well wishes and offers to come over and ...
Me: “What should we make for breakfast?”
Husband: "Hmmmmm...Can we melt down all of our candy bars into one big candy soup?" To know him is to love him. And to love him is to buy bigger pants.
It was bound to happen…
My poor little angel face. She was up during the night with a fever. Boooooooooo. Nothing makes a mama sadder than a sick little chick. But, I can't say our day has been a total wash; We got to lie on the floor together, consumed in fits of giggles; We got to bundle up in fleece jackets and breathe in the ...
Greatness/the past few days
Some things are good. Other things are great. Getting to come home from a wonderful morning of teaching, only to find my sister and daughter playing dress-up together, my little girl decked out in gold chains and over-sized purple shades, feels great. "Sorry, but you can't dress her up as well as I can," my baby sister said to me. "That's ...
nobody puts daddy in the corner

thank you for the new
Thank you for all that is new. In Judaism, there is a blessing called the Shehecheyanu. Traditionally, you say the Shehecheyanu to mark the start of something new, for every first, at the beginning of a Holiday, for a birth, on an occasion to be grateful for.... I think you get the gist. This is one of my favorite blessings, and growing up, ...
every party has a pooper
This afternoon, I had the distinct pleasure of watching a very special movie with some very special ladies. My daughter, my mother, my sister and I all cuddled up on the couch, and watched Father of the Bride: Part 2 as a steady rain pelted the house around us. I guess now would be a good time to ...
