When I call her my “Beauty Queen” she calmly corrects me and tells me she’s a princess. She’s FOUR years old today, and she’s got to be one of my favorite people on this planet. By a stroke of fate (an impromptu weekend visit to spend some time with my very pregnant sister before she popped, and the only return… Read more →

Yakedy Yak…don’t talk back.
Nothing brings me back to being 8 years old and running around barefoot in the backyard at a sunday BBQ like the Stand By Me soundtrack. I rediscovered it this morning, and it’s getting me through the hell that is Spring Cleaning today.

It’s enough to make a girl’s uterus skip a beat.

You should blog about it. And then you can tell me about that.” So to spite him, I’m trying… Read more →

I didn’t get to be there when Paloma was born, but it’s been amazing watching her grow this past year, and watching Eva enthusiastically step in to her role as big sister.
