The many faces of Kate
I took a few pics (try 50) of K today to practice some new things I’ve learned about using my camera lately and bokeh and lighting and all that. (more on that later). I bribed her with chocolate. Works EVERY time! (well, except with potty training…) And yes, there are more pics of her on…
Having a Daughter
Sometimes I just stop and marvel at the fact that I have a daughter. There was a time when I just wasn’t so sure. Although when I found out I was pregnant with her I kinda had a feeling. But I didn’t want to get my hopes up… you know? I find such joy…
Reunited and it feels so good…
My father used to travel from time to time for work when I was a little girl. I remember nights of being offered his empty space in my parents’ bed while he was gone and I gladly claimed it. I think both my Mom and I felt a bit more secure having each other to…
My Friend Katie & MEM
So Katie was at BlogHer. Not my Katie but Katie of The Today Show/CBS News and now her own talk show fame, Katie. Lisa Stone (of BlogHer) interviewed her during lunch on Saturday and I have to say I was completely impressed. On Friday another famous woman was in the same spot and before the…
No More Summer For You!
The little kids are here at the dining table playing play-doh (I know, I’m a saint) while I’m contemplating going to the gym. I haven’t felt quite right since I got back from BlogHer. I felt pretty good on Wednesday but I think that was because I actually exercised. This morning I got up earlier…
A New York State of Mind

This post sponsored by the letter “K”
I’m a little nervous about Gavin starting school next week. And by the way, a little means a lot. I do not feel like he is as prepared as he should be. In so many ways. But I am trying to have faith that he is more prepared than I think. The other night we…
BlogHer ’12, The Love Post
I have some really amazing friends. They are amazing because they share their lives with me and their hearts with me and their souls with me. They are amazing how they put their whole selves out there and they put their stories out there. To help others. To feel better. To help others feel better….
Brownies in Uganda
I’ve been keeping up with my next guest blogger for a while! I think she and I would be good friends in real life because she likes to cook and bake and I think she writes like she talks, even though I’ve never met her. In other words, I believe she is a truly genuine…
