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 [...]
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 [...]
This is one of my top five favorite pictures of my family. The day was August 6, 2011. We were on Orcas Island at one of my best friend’s wedding, watching two people tie their lives together. Two people loving one another for all of the right reasons. Weddings like that one, [...]

This is the 300th post at lucille in the sky. Congratulations to me!
The day was a rainy one, as they usually are. We were huddled in C’s cozy apartment, which was so warm it was like an invisible bonfire burned in the middle of the living room. C [...]
The reality of a blended family means that we’re not always together. And while we miss Emile when he’s not with us, we try not to make his absence a “sad” thing. Because the kid has two homes, two families, and this is his life, it has been since he was a baby. There’s nothing [...]
Today, Emile is celebrating his fifth birthday.
I started dating James when Emile was 2. He was the cutest little toddler. Caramel brown skin and golden hair. Thick black eyelashes framing beautiful Eastern-shaped eyes. A sweet, determined demeanor with an affinity for stuffed animals, Thomas the Train, and his thumb. He let me carry him [...]
