It started with a chair. Well, two chairs if I am being honest, but if you get the reference above then we are automatically better friends than we were before you opened this post. More on that, later. Two years ago, just after we closed on our new home, I went with my parents to the Rago ...
"Look! Look! Look out my window! I can see a star!" My daughter was pressed up against her bedroom windowpane, her brother by her side, following her motions and mimicking her enthusiasm. I was folding laundry on her floor, my husband was out picking up Chinese Takeout and the kids were playing on the chairs by the ...
We were huddled together, sharing a tiny bed in the ER hallway, as the hospital was so crowded that there were no spare rooms. I was wearing a gown and motorcycle boots and he made a headrest for himself with his coat, so that he could lean against the nurse's station. We couldn't see most ...
If you are a parent or someone who is around kids, you know that about 1/3-1/2 of the things that they say are actually true. There are kernels of truth in most things, but there are also great exaggerations (the kind folk refer to these as "imaginations"). So my daughter tells me things every day like: "There ...

It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...
It is the last day of 2014. If I haven't mentioned it before, it has been quite the year. So, this morning, I rummaged the back of the drawer in my bedroom in search of something that I have not seen for two and a half years; my journal. I bought my journal from Borders, when it ...
Our holidays this year have been completely different than ever before. Up until last year, I experienced the winter holidays in nearly the same way every year for as long as I can remember: Hanukkah was a time of many big family gatherings (when you have a huge family that all lives locally, the pile of presents is ...
Even though I have the post halfway written in my head and a handful of pictures to go with it, so that I can illustrate our family's coziest Christmas Eve, just the four of us, but because I was so warm and cozy, you see, I fell asleep on the fluffy faux fur rug by the fire and my husband ...
Yesterday, my "work day" wrapped up with a chat with my business manager. By the way, you must remember, I am the girl who has only had one set of business cards in her entire life... and they were Betty Boop business cards I had personalized for me at FAO Schwartz that read, "Star of Stage and ...
...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 ...
