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. […]
I heard the song “Yellow” by Coldplay and I teared up a bit thinking about my son when he was a baby. It sounds so cliche to say, but hold on tightly onto your babies as they grow up so quickly. When I was pregnant I didn’t want […]
Here’s a short and sweet review of the new Pixar movie. It was cute. Not great. But good enough to warrant watching with your son and hugging afterwards. My son liked the movie although he thought he thought there were too many dream sequences. However, he pointed to […]

It’s that time of the year. It’s the end of the first quarter. It’s the first day of the month. It’s April Fool’s Day. That last part makes me sad. My mother loved April Fool’s pranks. She would go all out. She’s not here to experience this one. […]
