Emile is seven today. Seven! A lucky number. A lucky boy. A lucky family.
It seems like every moment of every day I am praying to become a better parent. More than anything in my life, I want to do right by my [...]
Motherhood never threatens to pull out my strongest emotions: overwhelming love, joy, gratitude as well as irrational fear, angst and anger.
Occasionally, when my three year-old is tired but refuses a nap, I want to lock her in her bedroom. Five minute is all I need. (Unfortunately and fortunately, our bedroom [...]
I will not put on my rose-colored glasses and pretend that none of this is happening: Mommy Wars, hate crimes, internet stalkers. We say things like “be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” and then we turn around to slap each other in the virtual face. The Mommy Wars [...]
It’s been a while since I added to this blog’s virtual bookshelf, though I’ve been keeping up with my Goodreads account. I just finished a novel too good not to share with as many people as possible. I can remember the first time I picked it up at Elliot Bay Books. The year was [...]
If we waited for the rain to slow, we’d miss out on a lot. And if we waited for the sun to shine, we’d miss out on even more. Staying inside only feeds the grudge against the flatness of the gray sky. I’ve found there’s no better [...]

Pesky neighbors, grumpy bosses, toxic relationships, health issues, work-life imbalances, addictions of every variety, shitty weather, failed goals, inequalities, chronic [...]

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.
Sometimes, I become lost in the questions without [...]
Every once in a while, God/the universe/all-that-is takes us by the ankles and hang us upside down. Until we plead for mercy. Maybe we need to learn a lesson. Maybe we need to offer more gratitude. Maybe it’s for our own good. Maybe. It just is.
I had to pick up my six year [...]
