Truth be told, I’ve never made a resolution for New Year’s before. I’m your textbook Virgo: meticulous, analytical, productive. I’ve always been on top of my goals and the deadlines I set for myself are achieved with ease. Then came parenthood. So my sweet little…
On Friday my lovable little boy decided he was ready to stand without help. While my thought process volleyed somewhere between, “Did I baby proof this room correctly?” and “YAY!” it took a few moments after for something else to settle in: Fox is…
Lots of deep thoughts and soul searching as of late around these parts. Trying to strip off the excess and head back towards simplicity is tougher than it seems. For now I’m focusing on one of my favorite quotes by Epicurus, “Do not spoil…
The long weekend is wrapping up in my house with a busy Sunday, but I want to drop a quick note before it ends. We did Thanksgiving a bit different this year since we stayed in by ourselves as a trio. I cooked my…
I met eve on a Saturday. Her sunny disposition first drew me in. Her soft touch on my skin and how she knew just how to hug my body in the right places. After spending some time with eve, I knew I had to share…
My baby turned nine months old on Saturday. We set up our Christmas tree that same day and it was everything I thought it would be and more. He sat under the tree holding an ornament in his hand with wonderment in his eyes…

Today Fox gave me a big hug. He crawled to me, climbed onto my lap, pulled himself up to my level and wrapped his little arms around my neck. His cheek pressed against mine and after a long pause he straightened up with his…
Every new mom has doubts. When Fox was born I was full of them, and truth be told I still am. But we all have something in common: we want what is best for our children. From day one I talked to my baby,…
As I type this my son is sitting straight up in his crib. Last night he could not bring himself to a sitting position from laying down and today he is an old pro, going back and forth between sitting and laying. These days…
This is Peter. I picked him out from the SPCA nine years ago. He had a heart-shaped nose and crossed eyes, spending most of the visit chewing on his tongue. When I bent down to pet him, he threw up on my feet. It was…
