Gone Writing

October 2, 2012

Things that are going through my head (in addition to the  normal circulation of blood and brain matter, obviously.)

The Week

September 29, 2012

I don’t want to alarm anyone unnecessarily, but I have a sore throat. I don’t even know who to blame. Or how to best milk it. I decided to stay in bed all day, but now the kids are arguing about who gets to do the laundry. “You did it last time!” one of them […]

So, About My Roommate

May 14, 2012

Earlier this month I attended the Mom 2.0 Summit, a blogging conference that no blogger should ever miss, especially in the years that it is held in Miami, at the Ritz-Carlton, beachside. Really, it’s worth leaving your coughing child for. I’d been looking forward to the conference since the 2011 one ended. Seriously, I bought […]

Showing Up

May 8, 2012

I’ve been so lucky since I started blogging. I made friends, real friends, the friends that I reach out to when things are hard, the friends that are there to laugh with (and sometimes at) but also who I have cried with and talked about those things that we don’t always want to talk about. […]
