You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…

Ok, I am going to try to squeeze in a quick little Thursday ditty here before the stroke of midnight because tomorrow is Christmas Eve and if that’s a holiday you celebrate then I hope you will consider a screen time sabbatical for the next 48 hours and soak in all the presence (see what…

My dearest #3, In just a few short days you will be turning five. This year, your birthday is hitting me hard. Harder than any other birthday, any other year. I am not sure why. I don't know where your infant or toddler years went. I remember telling myself to be present with your tiny…

I have spent near a decade either birthing babies or breastfeeding them. I have been pregnant so many times that I am not sure if my mismatched food combinations and tendencies toward irritability are from hormone level fluctuations or my actual personality.
