 Leave a comment This morning, when I went to the bathroom, my kids became so frantic looking for me that the five-year-old proposed making a map to find me. Also? It’s February and -5 degrees F. Today, dear readers, I’m fantasizing about a vacation. And not a vacation where I take my nursling along, either. While that . . . → Read More: Do You Ever Dream of a Vacation? January 22nd, 2015
Leave a comment Have you read this great article that’s been circulating, about this idea of a “Default Parent“? It resonates with me so deeply, particularly as I spent last week sitting by the computer waiting for noon to get my preregistration code for a summer camp this summer.

Leave a comment I’ve breastfed babies in lots of public places. I’ve nursed my boys everywhere from a boat in Belize to a bench at the zoo. I often expect to get the stink-eye.

I’m really trying to keep my intentions . . . → Read More: Setting Intentions for the New Year December 22nd, 2014
Leave a comment I love reading design blogs and fantasizing about having a Christmas tree with monotone ornament selection, a mantle filled with precious, lovely things, maybe even some snow globes sitting around. In reality, I have three sons aged five and under. I don’t have ANYTHING breakable that I can leave lying about.
