You guys. Seriously, you rock. You've made my birthday so wonderful and you've filled it with amazing treats, feathers, and, most of all, words. You've shared your words with me today and each note, each word has meant something to me. So thank you. And I'm covered in feathers, from my top To an incredibly special gift on ...
A tiny, little, amazing story.
Today, as I unloaded from school pick up, doing my normal routine of getting my daughter out of the passenger side of the car, slinging her backpack over my shoulder, walking her around the car to my side where I get her brother out in his incredibly heavy infant carrier, when my daughter said, "Wait. I want to see ...
Here comes the comeback kid…
(photo above updated October, 2016; taken live from show October 24th at Union Transfer) Today, in the words of my most favorite, Brett Dennen, I felt as if "I'd never been laid so low". That may be a bit hyperbolic, but I was definitely feeling low; I got an unexpected putdown that kind of knocked the wind ...
Today I realize
that I could use a bit of strength. So I am arming myself accordingly.

She had a hand-drawn cartoon, made by her daddy, which he tucked, carefully, into her school bag. She had her feathers. She had her first day. She had the time of her life.

Scenes from the Nest
Three things you should know about me: I love feathers (yes, you already know that, but I am just further emphasizing my love for all things bird.) I love my family. (which, I mean, duh.) I love photos. More accurately, I am obsessed with photos. I love taking pictures. I love looking at pictures. I love reminiscing over pictures. So yes, feathers, ...
