Before My Eyes

Yesterday he was one, and then he was five, soon eight, then ten, then twelve. Today he’s fourteen, turning fifteen in a month.  And all along, so much more little boy than man; his talks of someday fanciful and improbable. And then six months ago, 3 inches and 11 pounds overnight. Suddenly the boy who … Continue Reading

To Go Easy

Ahhhh, Sunday morning. And it finally feels like summer here in the North East. Although more rain is due to arrive, I’ll take this morning’s sunshine and the inspiration that arrived with it. I’m reading Yes, Chef, the memoir of Ethiopian born, Swedish adopted, Marcus Samuelsson, which has me inspired in the kitchen.  This morning I’m baking … Continue Reading

I had the honor to write over on Preemie Babies 101 this week.  I hope you’ll check it out, especially if you’ve ever thought about doing a little writing.  (The post is geared to preemie parents, but it’s really applicable to all.) “Whether your baby was in the NICU for 2 days or 200, the … Continue Reading

Cheerio!

Ok, to everyone who told me I’d be crazy not to jump at the chance to take the kids and join Lee on a business trip to London – YOU WERE RIGHT! It has been three truly magical days, full of unforgettable moments I hope will be forever seared in the kid’s memory banks.  They certainly … Continue Reading

Love, Gratitude and Jumping in with Both Feet (plus a giveaway!)

Remember that girl who was afraid to travel to Colorado for a ski vacation? Well, that same girl, just got back from a week in Charleston, South Carolina! It was actually Tucker who took me there.  Well, his 8th grade class trip, to be more precise. His class, who’s been together with the same teacher … Continue Reading

Rocks, Pebbles, Water

Just like me, my son struggles with organization. Last Friday I urged him to clean out his backpack. He refused. “There’s nothing in there that shouldn’t be,” he said. I pushed. He pushed back. When I promised to put all the binders and folders back in for him, he finally agreed. Nothing in there? Just … Continue Reading

That for Which I am Willing to Shout from the Rooftops…

Here are a few of the things I’ve been really digging lately: [av_gallery ids=’563,562,564,565′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’portfolio’ columns=’4′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’avia_lazyload’ av_uid=’av-8hl7c’] 1.) My new iPad cover. I do most of my writing old school – pencil, paper, composition notebook. When I found this cover I was beyond excited – Old meets new! 2.) This Youtube … Continue Reading

What Does it Mean to Mother?

I just left the Medieval Games at my children’s Waldorf School where I watched my strong, athletic, capable and highly competitive 6th grade daughter compete her heart out. I stopped in at our local cafe to escape the heat, sip a lemonade and possibly write a bit. As I sat, ready to begin writing, I … Continue Reading

Renewal

For spring break, I took the kids down to Florida to visit my parents. Once again I was reminded of the healing power of one of my favorite meditations – simply sitting on the beach watching my kids play in the sand and water.  What a gift.
