Well, last week was fun, as I spontaneously wrote, recorded and posted a parody song set to Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband". You can see my "Dear Current Husband" video on the link right there. It was taken by my five year old, in her bed, which I think is pretty apparent. Well, today was a day. Not ...
Would you like to hear something funny? This morning, my husband had brunch with the members of his "eating club", as a farewell to the current Four Seasons breakfast before the hotel changes it's location. He, my dad, my brousins, my dad's best friend since high school and his sons have formed "The E-Street Supper Club" ...
"Look! Look! Look out my window! I can see a star!" My daughter was pressed up against her bedroom windowpane, her brother by her side, following her motions and mimicking her enthusiasm. I was folding laundry on her floor, my husband was out picking up Chinese Takeout and the kids were playing on the chairs by the ...
We were huddled together, sharing a tiny bed in the ER hallway, as the hospital was so crowded that there were no spare rooms. I was wearing a gown and motorcycle boots and he made a headrest for himself with his coat, so that he could lean against the nurse's station. We couldn't see most ...
I made it no secret on here (and in my life) that I was quite nervous about expanding our family. We were a perfect triangle. I remember taking an autumn trip to the beach house with the fairy godparents and sitting on the couch for hours, literally, listing the reasons why I was scared to have another ...
This weekend was the first that the fierce cold really whipped me in the bones. It has been dancing around, and gotten close, but this weekend it hit me, and got under my skin. We spent most of the time holed up at home, in our cozy fuzzy living room. When we went outside for some brief ...
Looking back, I found the note I wrote to my daughter when she turned seven months, a love letter detailing milestones in her life and expressing my profound love. Today is my son's seventh month birthday, and so, for him I shall do the same. Dearest baby, My sweetness; My light. Today you are seven months old. A magnificent ...
When I wrote The hardest post I've ever written, I wrote about my struggles with peri- and postpartum depression. But in it, I proclaimed that the hardest part of the hardest post was having to type the following words: I can no longer have children. In it I also wrote how incredibly grateful I am for having ...
The time has arrived. The questions have commenced. I've seen the looks. I've caught the half-second-too-long-glances lingering over my mid-section (nope, sorry, it's just the chicken burritos, thank you very much.) People want to know when we're going to have a second child. They wonder. They whisper. They ask. And the answer is... Not yet. Fooled ya, didn't I?! But, it's a valid questions. ...
This week, it will be exactly 2 years since my little girl found her way into my belly. I like to think that she got there riding on the back of a tiny, rainbow Unicorn, but this has yet to be confirmed to me. I can't wait until she's a little older so that I can ask her! So, ...
