I'm not a dollhouse mom. I don't know where to put the people or what they should be doing or how to make them talk to my 3-year-old. I don't enjoy laying on the floor, or making up stories, or counting acorns in the backyard. Even when I was younger I wasn't super into kids [...]
Welp, I totally missed Lucy's birthday post this year. Which is kind of a mom fail but also a mom win because we were on vacation and I spent the whole day with her at the pool instead of writing something on my blog. So there's that. Anyway I was going to just skip the [...]

Mia started Kindergarten today. It’s the day she’s been waiting for, for years. Watching the bus go by from our living room window and asking me how many more days until she gets to ride it. It always felt like a someday, not a real day. But today’s the day. And my baby girl, the [...]
It’s hard to remember what life was like before. I mean it’s hard to remember what I ate for lunch today and where my kids are and who’s watching them so - it’s not surprising that I can’t remember things that happened 5, 6 and 7 years ago. But I’m pretty sure it was pretty [...]
