New Year’s Resolutions

Hello! Here I am! I could write about the last couple of weeks, and how much has happened, and everything about the book the book the book, but I think that we could all use a break from the book the book the book. And I have a promise on which to make good. On New Year's Eve I ...

What I want

 I cannot start this post without acknowledging two important things: 1. I have a LOT about which to write. I have formulated at least a dozen posts in my head over the holiday weekend (about gratitude, parenting my daughter v. my son, Thanksgiving and what it means to me...) but, for now, this is what is flying ...

Songs for Seeds

This is a post about a music class. Except, it's really not. While I will share with you about our incredible experience at Songs for Seeds (the Wayne location!), this post is about so much more; parenting, music, human connection and Abba. Not necessarily in that order. Fact #1: If you have spent any time on this blog, you will ...

Love is Love

I should start off by saying that this post is not what you think it is going to be about. And, that this post is exactly what you think it is going to be about. Since the news of yesterday's horrific shooting in Orlando broke (and I am choosing my words carefully; it was many things, and ...

Self Soothe.

I posted this image and caption on Instagram a few moments ago: I am so lucky that I already got such a lovely and perfect comment. If you can't read it, it says, "And I like-Perfect Just As You Are, even when you aren't your prettiest, or funniest or most joyful or best self." This was written ...

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 ...

Dear Five-Year-Old-Daughter,

Dear Five-Year-Old-Daughter, I could write and write and write about how incredible it is--how incredulous I am--that you are about to enter Kindergarten; how I don't understand when you grew to be this size. It is mind-blowing. But, instead, I am going to tell you about the snapshot from one morning. This morning, in fact, when you ...

The Circle of Life

At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...

Cupcakes and Cashmere at Home

I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying being both a Birchbox #Birchblogger and part of the #BirchboxBookClub. I love making videos each month and have been having tons of fun with my YouTube Channel. I keep threatening my songwriting partner that I am going to post some of our raw footage. Speaking of songwriting, if you follow ...

My WEEK in music.

Earlier this year I wrote about my band, Fox and the Hounds, and "My Year in Music." The truth is, if I had to site the three things that defined my past 19 months most, things that, in many ways, saved me from getting lost in a dark abyss, they would be: 1. My incredible network of loved ...
