Newest member.

This week we experienced a momentous day in the world of our tribe: My girl got to meet our newest member. Who is this new, beloved boy, you ask? Well, I will tell you. *** In my Junior year of High School I became best friends with a girl with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart. She has ...

Brighter than the sun

Yesterday, I posted a photo collage on Instagram with pictures of my daughter as she went off to have her Kindergarten school pictures taken. I could not believe that she was doing something so grown up; that she looked so mature; that she is so beautiful. I know that it is a thing that people say, but it ...

Fade Away.

So, guys. Friends. I am obsessed with a few new things, and I would like to share. First, Pinterest style, obviduh (*Note: word credit goes to DG and his sister, AG, who made up that, the most perfect word. WORD.) Next, I am really into Zebras. This isn't such a new new thing, but my realization of just ...

Wrong About Me

Today, I took both of my kids to school. They go to different schools. I dropped my daughter off first. During the five minute drive from her school to his, I played this song twice. "Wrong About Me" (I am including a link to a live performance, but I also highly recommend that you check out the studio version). https://youtu.be/dFI-eR-VLHc And you ...

I ...

Main Line Connect

Last month, I had the honor of being the guest featured on an episode of the television program Main Line Connect. I was interviewed by the show's fabulous host, Jennifer Lynn Robinson, about... YOU! For real! Well, really, the show was about this blog, and the evolution of Mommy, Ever After from "baby book" to business. My main point ...

Clear eyes, Full belly, Can’t lose

Five years ago I wrote the post below, completely, blissfully unaware of what my life would look like today, one new house, one new child, a million tears and a grillion smiles later. But, it is worth noting that my heart has still been growing. And now, as my sweet girl cuddles up by my side on the ...
