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 ...
Siblings: A Haiku
Your little piggies, loves, are perfect and they match-- twenty small heartbeats.
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 ...
I’m the Dirty 30, a little bit tall & very tall, not good at tennis and my life revolves around my daughter.
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. ...
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 ...
Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas Eve. Right now, I am celebrating by typing in my office (read: bed. It is so warm and cozy in here! I have THIS on my lap!) and listening to the three people whom I love the most as they play downstairs. They are playing Yo Gabba Gabba and something called Bunchems and beautiful, blessed music. I ...
Grateful
I know that I am about a week late, but I felt compelled, just now, to share some of the things for which I am supremely thankful. I guess that, for me, it is a good lesson that we (I) should be more present in the now and therefore more grateful every day. Maybe not ...
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 ...
