Driving back from Chicago with Devra and Sarah, I wrote BlogHer re-cap posts in my head, trying to compose the perfect combination of words to capture the conference.
As we pulled up to the TA truck stop, where I knew The Husband was picking me up, I spotted my mommy-mobile parked there.

The song has been sung, the candles have been blown out. Not sure how it occurred but my daughter, my youngest, my baby, is two. Her favorite words, “mine” and “no”, along with the stack of thank you cards to be addressed act as further proof of what my heart is slow to recognize–another year has passed and [...]

This past weekend, I attended a Pre BlogHer get-together for DC area bloggers at Nationa Harbor. I got a chance to meet some [...]

I don’t like the idea of telling someone how they feel or how they should feel.
So when one of my children falls down but is clearly not physically injured, I don’t say, “You’re okay!” Instead I try to focus on the truths of the situation, such as, “You didn’t skin your knees, see?” or “That [...]

Greetings from my family vacation! I’m in Cooperstown, NY. The Husband’s family drove in from the Midwest, and we (The Husband, kids and I) met them at the big old farmhouse they rented for the week. My nephew is playing in a tournament held at the Dreams Park, and we’ve gotten to see some awesome [...]
