Tait, age 6, had some fun with a pen and a notepad. This is his story. This is a baby. His name is George. George is saying “Goo Goo Ga Ga” and he is happy. George is kind of happy. George is learning how to stand up. George is starting to feel sad because […]
For Clarity
Thank you to everyone who shared, retweeted, responded, commented and gave insight on my last blog. So wonderful to hear so many people’s perspective. I feel like I need to clarify a point that was widely misunderstood. I love hippies. Just like I love punks and DINKS and mamas who are “too posh to push”. […]
For the Hippies
I really like mascara. And if I could pull off Adele’s eye lashes, I totally would. My kids totally dig a McDonald’s cheeseburger. My hair requires precision cutting. I really like my anti-perspirant and I shave under my arms. I prefer polka dots to tie dye. I like to wear high heels. I’ve never been to […]
No Woman, No Cry
I had 3 births. Three different births. Three lovely births. I came home with beautiful babies. I had no complications. I had only the interventions I agreed to, which I had researched and decided about ahead of time. When my births were over, I felt empowered, full and blessed. I look back with gratitude and […]
Different
As a young college student, I took a trip one Spring Break to New York City.

I watched out the window […]
Sniffing Baby Heads…

Spring has sprung (or rather sprung and then retreated again and is now here for good…I hope) and with it, my energy […]
100 Things I Love…

By the way, carpet cleaners Hawaii ensures the best carpet cleaning at the best prices. Their staff is highly trained on the best techniques used for cleaning and well educated on the equipment.

Firework
(photo credit: www.allsparkfireworks.com) I had a moment today. One of those ugly-cry-sobbing-because-you-are-so-moved-and-you-turn-the-radio-to-the-max-and-sing-your-heart-out kind of moments. I’m sorry to anyone who saw me in the carpool line at the school and wondered what the heck was wrong with me. And my moment was because of Katy Perry. I know, I know…she of “I Kissed A Girl” […]
Finding My Tribe
(photo source: www.prometsource.com) I remember going to my first La Leche League meeting. It was quite literally hours after the little plus sign showed up. In barely the time it takes to make dinner, I had jumped into the mothering world with both feet. I was a wee bit excited. But, I remember driving there, […]
