Last night my daughter decided to dress as the Disney Princess for whom she was named... wearing an old Halloween costume... from when she was six months old. Now, my daughter is amazing; she is an old soul, so precocious and astute; But man, is she stubborn. And insists on method acting. So if she is playing Peter Pan, I ...
I think I’ve made great strides
in the sandwich department; I know I need not tell you, as it is abundantly clear that this is a ghost cream cheese sandwich with Nutella eyes. And I also know that I am an amazing artist.
Go team.
Something amazing just happened. It was one of those slightly hectic moments in my daily routine, during which time I take both kids out of the car, unpack my daughter's backpack, unpack her lunch bag, clean out her lunch bag, put away any groceries or things I've picked up... and as I was doing all of that, ...
Perhaps my favorite malapropism ever.
My daughter told me she was hungry and wanted a snack. "What would you like?" I asked. "I want that thing...you know that thing...you packed it for me and it looks like a wheel?" "A thing that looks like a wheel? Hmmm...I really don't know," I replied. "Is it an ikea?" She wanted a tortilla. Right? Best malapropism ever.

Good news:
I've found myself a new Hannah. All I had to do was give birth to her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcNo07Xp8aQ
Sunrise.
When your kids wake you up when it's still dark, it can feel exhausting. But when they ask you to watch the sunrise together... it can feel like everything.
That time of day.
You know that time of day, when you've been up since 5:30 am and not just up but on, and you are juggling two children at once and a particularly needy dog and find yourself scrubbing the floors and filling up cups of orange juice and bowls of donut holes and folding laundry and not taking a moment to catch ...
On Motherhood
By today's standards, I waited a good while before having my second child. I get the whole "two under two" and "done with diapers" things, they just weren't my bag. Instead, my kids are three and a half years apart to the week. In hindsight I am so glad that I did wait; (for so ...
