Anyone who knows me not even well, knows my son is everything. I’m enormously proud of him. And, often I’m in awe of him. It was a very hard pregnancy. A quick labor. And, a parenting delight. Well, he has now entered his teenage years. This, we’ll see […]
Mother’s day is a day of mixed emotions for me. I have the most wonderful son. I’m proud to be his mother. But, I also lost my mom a decade ago and it never stops hurting. I’d love to shop for a gift for her. I’d love to […]
Easter brings, springs up, fond memories. I don’t recall a rainy Easter day. Although my birthday, which is coming up shortly, is almost always rainy. Easter egg hunts were a delightful time in which my son just ran and ran giggling while he picked up stuff from the […]
The other day I jokingly tried to bribe my son with $100 to eat something new. It was spicy, hot Korean cauliflower bites. But he was not having it. Literally. Could not convince him in any way. I lamented to him that back in the day (when he […]

My baby is not so much a baby anymore. Although, as I repeatedly tell him, he will always be my baby. He will just have to live with that fact. He’s thirteen going on twenty. Even still he is a sweet baby. So sweet, that he was willing […]
My son started school last week. And, while everyone was posting photographs onto Facebook of their kids with a sign noting the school grade they were entering, I chose to not do so. I’ve done it before. Honestly, I thought about it for a second and then moved […]
This is a most special day. Here comes the sun after a rainstorm hit the east coast. Here is my baby’s 13th birthday. He is officially a teenager. An oddball of sunshine. Oh my god. I cannot believe I just wrote that he is now 13 years old. […]
