Threesy Peasy

June 10, 2014 · 13 Comments

Last week I was at the park on a play date with some of my Mom friends and - !HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS! - the conversation turned to our kids.  Because the conversation never veers away from our kids.  On play dates you are only legally allowed to talk about three things - kids, children and babies.  Once in a while someone might throw in something about a cleanse.  After play dates ...

To Hadley on her first birthday

December 5, 2012 · 3 Comments

When I first found out that I was pregnant with you I knew for a fact that out of all the families in the world you had chosen us. After I took six pregnancy tests and picked my jaw up off the floor and had a panic attack and ripped the calendar off the wall and stared at it for two hours wondering when in the hell this happened, I knew out of all the families in the world ...
