“Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now.” I’m a former teacher and current stay at home mom. I don’t own a pantsuit. So instead I’m wearing white today, in honor of women’s suffrage, my daughter and the glass ceiling that’s going to be shattered tonight.  #imwithher #WORK

Social media and all its dynamics is so interesting to me. I use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, but predominately Facebook for interacting with people I know personally. I looooveee Twitter, but mostly follow people I don’t know in real life and I don’t tweet a lot myself, although I wish I did (I feel self…

I’ve followed this presidential election cycle really closely, and obviously have some really strong opinions about the candidates. I regularly listen to five political podcasts, participate in a Facebook group dedicated to having respectful, intelligent conversations on politics (loooove it), watched all the debates while closely following Twitter at the same time, and have read…

Yesterday morning, G’s nurse, who had been with him all night, told me that he’s thrown up formula about an hour before. G throws up all the time, but because his feeding tube bypasses his stomach and goes into his intestine, throwing up his food is not normal. I called and cancelled his school bus,…

A few weeks ago I turned thirty seven. What a strange age; not quite “almost forty” but far past thirty five. Technically I’ve now been an adult longer than I was a child, although really I was nowhere near an “adult” at 18. It’s a fine age to be, I guess. Meh. Some thoughts from…

I signed up for NaBloPoMo, and I’m both really excited and terrified. I’ve always wanted to do a challenge like this (blogging every day for a solid month, weekends and holidays included) and I know if I succeed, I will be so glad that I did. But for the love, what am I going to…

More about #NaBloPoMo tomorrow (basically, I’m attempting to post every day this month, including weekends and Thanksgiving Day. Good luck to me, right?)…Today, I participated in Laura Tremain’s One Day project over on Instagram. I’m not a huge Instagram lover, but I love the idea of for one day, documenting with pictures the small, sometimes…

Dear Nolan, I’ve got to be honest, this has been a rough month for you, and consequently, for me. You haven’t been yourself for weeks, and I’m blaming every bit of it on teeth. Teeth we have yet to meet because despite tormenting our family for the past 25 days or so, they have yet…

Dear Grayson, A few weeks ago you turned six years old. Six! You have had so many big changes in your life this past year, and we are all so thankful how well  you have transitioned. You got a new brother, we moved, you had another hip surgery and started at a new school all…

Dear Nolan, Hello there, crazy toddler! You are walking (almost running) everywhere now, and life is now crazier, busier, but also so much more fun. You can actually play at the park now, and your favorite thing to do is scale the play structure as fast as you can, while scaring me to death.  You…
