Last month, Giovanna had her first modeling job. Not that she’s a model or that I want her to be a model. This just kind of happened. But when I had to wake her from a nap to get to the shoot on time, I was upset. Sleep is like gold around here.

I like to surround myself with words of wisdom because the more I see and read them, the more they become a part of my thoughts, and therefore, who I am.
Here’s one I’ve oft considered:

We spent all weekend in our backyard, entertained by the Blue Angels flying over, the sun which seemed to also hang right above our [...]

Motherhood. After 2.5 years (to the day) of this thing, and 3 years plus 2 days of (officially) step-mothering, I can confidently say that the challenges only speed up and the joys only intensify.
You think you’ve seen it all when a fully formed being slips out of the tiny space between your legs, but [...]
Dear Giovanna
Exactly one month after the Summer Solstice, you will be two and a half. On a daily basis, your emerging personality teaches me something new about the spirited little person I am raising.
Your favorite book right now is “Little Mommy” and you call it [...]
{Emile and I on a recent vacation.}
Giovanna is the same age that Emile was when I met him. Nearly two and a half, but not quite. It has me thinking about my role in his life and his role in mine, this symbiotic relationship, precious and sometimes precarious, [...]
