Though it happened nearly 3.5 years ago, I’m still trying to put words to the feeling I felt after I labored and birthed and held my daughter for the first time. She was dark pink and squirming and why didn’t I tell them not to cut the chord right away? It happened in [...]

No matter how I come across on the page, I can be quite negative at times. Sure, everyone has bad days. But we shouldn’t use this as an excuse for not trying to be better today than we were yesterday.

I never could have predicted that I would give birth to my first child at the tender age of 24. I suppose there’s very little we can predict, though many try; drafting five year plans and short-term goals and long-term goals, seeking to play God because fate is a beastly thing to trust.

Dear Gigi,
My little girl, you are three years old today. Which means I have known this love in my heart for 1096 days. A love I cannot control or suppress, an all-consuming love that is with me everywhere I go, in every moment I breathe. Happiness is the [...]

Giovanna and I ended up having an impromptu picnic at our favorite park with a special treat purchased from the cafe. In these 40 degree, stark wintery days, I find I need a warm [...]

Last Sunday, I had one of those moments so sweet, your heart quickens and your breath catches, and if you are open to tears, they will come.
My little girl, who fancies herself a princess, tried on a clip-on earring for the first time. It was sparkly and dangly and every time she touched it, [...]
