As of this Friday we will officially be on summer break and summer break will go by entirely too fast. This is the last school year that I will have a child at home with me all day every day.
In the fall, even the baby will be in preschool three […]
I am a woman first.
I wonder if I’ll always feel like a teenager.
I hear EVERYTHING.
I see the feelings in little faces.
I want to not lose that.
I am a proud mom.
I pretend upon request.
I feel (too) deeply.
I touch the curls, the sweat, the little toes.
I worry about everything,
I cry less than […]
I’m milking my New York trip for all it’s worth. We had an afternoon with nothing planned, so we went to the far edge of Central Park to visit the American Museum of Natural History. I was silly excited to be visiting the site of a movie my kids love […]
All I want for Mother’s Day is to not have to change any sheets. Just kidding! I’d love breakfast in bed, to get taken out to lunch and possibly see a movie by myself, maybe get a homemade present that my husband made with the kids in my office […]

There’s a lot of yellow in our yard, so I took my camera out to find it. Look mom, no training wheels! Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year (again!). Don’t […]
I’m not much of a baker. I don’t have a beautiful baked good photo to share. But I did realize that I haven’t yet shared my New York photos. (Geeeez. Busy, much?) So, here is the Brooklyn Bridge, baked in the sun. Through The Lens Thursday is a […]
