Like it. Love it. Live it.
Being a mom is an adventure comprised of a series of challenges that leave you alternately defeated and triumphant. You never know what tomorrow will bring; you just hope you have enough brain cells and patience to persevere and end the day laughing instead of crying. Though we don’t all get the chance to chronicle [...]
Ahhh … motherhood. It fills our lives with new wonder, experiences, and challenges. It reopens our eyes to the magic of childhood and shows us what we’re made of. It also brings us all kinds of new ways to embarrass ourselves. In the nine years since my daughter was born I have made my share [...]
I live with the Tasmanian Devil. Ok – maybe not the Tasmanian Devil, but a Tasmanian Devil. She is small and very cute, but definitely has claws and an attitude. She is constantly in motion and rarely looks before she leaps. She can turn an entire room upside down before I’ve made the day’s first [...]
Sometimes, we won’t get along. Sometimes, we will have knock down, drag out fights. There will be days when you’ll wish I wasn’t your mom. You will stick your tongue out and roll your eyes and stomp your feet. You will swear I don’t understand, don’t care, and just don’t get it. I will clench [...]

I have learned – and am still learning – a lot from my mom. Over the years, I’ve become a more apt student. Gone are my teenage years when I thought I already knew everything. Gone, too, are my twenties when I struck out on my own for a while – still in touch, but [...]
My daughter and I recently adopted a kitten and her mama. The kitten’s name is Cinder and the mama’s name is Bella. Though they have only been with us a little over a month, we are already completely smitten. As a bonus to their cuteness, I am finding that this once-a-stray mama kitty has a [...]
Motherhood is a big job. We get that. The responsibility is huge – the overall task sometimes pretty damn overwhelming. But, when you get right down to it, motherhood is in the details. It’s in those fleeting moments that sneak up on us when we least expect them. It’s in the time we manage to [...]

It was the first really warm day of spring. My daughter emerged from school wearing denim shorts that had seemed ill advised in the morning, but now were completely appropriate as the sun warmed her bare legs and competed with her beaming smile. Her fleece jacket stuffed into her school bag, she bounced into the [...]
