Little did I know how bad one day can go.
The day we were to travel for the holidays, I woke at 4 or 5 so I could take a shower before we had to leave. We woke so early that we actually had to wake the baby before she could wake us up with her […]
While in NYC, I talked with my hosts about weird house guests. New Yorkers always have the “weird house guest” story, because they have so MANY guests.
One odd guest of theirs placed an eye pack over his eyes to nap in the middle of the day in their living room and crossed his arms crossed […]
I’m going to NYC in the morning, and I won’t have internet access. For the next few days, I won’t be posting.
This will be my first trip away from the little one. My chest has gone tight at times. I’ve imagined every horrible scenario.
She’ll be in great hands — her daddy — and I’m probably […]
I feel so blessed to have a healthy child. When my friend, Doug, wrote me to say that J. Robbins (an indie musician behind Burning Airlines, Jawbox and perhaps even Government Issue) had a child with a devastating disease, I knew I had to help.
This is an excerpt from the web site for him:

In the wee hours of the morning, before I’m even awake, my little one is at her boom box. She is pushing all the buttons — play, stop, pause — and saying, “Dance! Dance!”
Searching for children’s music that won’t grate on my nerves has been a side mission of mine lately. I came across the […]
Yesterday, I shared a recipe for a delicious stir fry. It’s gone! Mysterious. I’ll resurrect it somehow and post it again soon.

I never thought I’d make it to more than a year of nursing. Now, we’ve been nursing for 14 months.
I had my baby while standing in my front hallway. I delivered her myself. Afterwards, […]
Many mothers have every intention of retuning to their full-time job after giving birth to their first child. And then…
The mother sees her baby for the first time. She is small, beautiful and adorable. Often, the mother gets a few weeks off (if in the U.S.) or a few years off (if in Europe) to […]
