Once upon a time there was a boy. This boy's mother liked to, at times, talk with her friends and family via iMessage. In the few minutes that she spent getting dressed, the boy became a Wild One. The mother texted the boy's father. and some friends, with whom she was previously engaged in conversation. The Wild One's mother ...
This morning, after a full week of feeling sick and sleeping in, I got up with the kids. Except, I wasn't quite ready to get up, nor was I feeling my best, so I decided that while we were "up" we could snuggle on the couch watching music videos for a good hour before starting our ...
My son has started this pattern of carrying some strange things around the house with him. Today, his favorites have been my toothbrush, a potholder, "his" iPhone (an old, out of service phone we use as a sound machine), a bag of quinoa and my bottle of Jo Malone "Honeysuckle and Jasmine Cologne". I think that this is supposed ...
Today did not go as I had planned. I woke up, early, to the sound of my son crying at his normal time and was immediately hit with extreme vertigo. I was so dizzy that I could not move or walk. I got back into bed and went back to sleep. My husband took care of the morning ...

Today, I cherished the mundane. Instead of pulling up in carline to pick up my daughter from school, I walked in to get her and the look on her face...I am actually truly getting tears in my eyes thinking of it. She beamed. And I know that that is an adjective used quite often, but it's actual ...
Yesterday, we said happy birthday to our main man. And this is how we did it. ]
Happy 33rd Birthday, Dear K. It is now officially 12:00am on January 19 and I just whispered "Happy Birthday" to you, as I watch you sleep beside me. (I realize that I am currently breaking our electronics curfew, but I am hopeful to earn back my privileges with copious amounts of cake.) Also, I literally just spent 10 ...
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 ...
